It could easily be turned around on women with equal truth - but then that'd be mysoginist bile from a woman-beater. :rolleyes:
Even you can see the double standard. Greer gets her arse kissed on here with pink fluffy lovehearts but scouserboy gets reprimanded for talking about "high quality" (which translates harmlessly as "desirable") women.
I haven't seen any of the issues she raises debated on this thread either so i'm avoiding nothing.
As for what she's said about Irwin, she's right. He loved animals so much he went and interfered with them for entertainment before shoving them in a zoo and making money out of them as exhibits.
She's blantantly a misandrist with a twisted outlook, not to mention a has-been loser, taking joy because a male who eclipsed her celebrity as a world-famous Australian died.
She's an utter bigot and the support for her on here speaks volumes.
Fuck you. Speak volumes about what, exactly?
But yes, I would love to hear specific examples of her "utter bigotry". Thank you in advance.
She is an entirely more prolific Austrialian than Irwin; anyone who thinks otherwise is unobjectively clueless. Though I anticipate your harsh repercussions based on previous posts.
Did she even think about his wife or kids?
I don't think anybody in this thread ever claimed it did.
He's given the example of 'top footballer', it could have easilly have read as 'Labour Politician' or some other shit and nobody would have batted an eyelid.
A feminist is what she is, and HIT has said time and again that feminism had nothing to do with the words he had to say about the woman. I think you should give him the benifit of the doubt and stop looking so hard for an argument.
I love the way people keep telling HIT what his own opinoins are.
No, fuck you. I've already put up quotes which demonstrate Greer's bigotry vividly. As to what it speaks volumes about, you know fine well. If you didn't agree with her, and found the quotes which i've put up offensive and well out of order, you wouldn't claim to love her - so it's rational to assume you agree with them, just like Kermit.
Let's say i defended some sad mysoginist bastard who claimed woman are "freaks of nature", as Greer described men. You'd be amongst the first to start the inquisition, and you fucking know it.
Double standard exposed.
For someone writing a book on feminism, and who declares herself an expert on such matters, surely you can come up with something better than continually posting sarcy little "ooooh all feminists are evil" comments. How about addressing those quotes? Do you agree with them, and if not, how can you reconcile that disagreement with your support for her?
This silly femenist bitch is nothing better than her male chauvanistic equivilent. Both are sill twunts who are useless.
It was a referenace to when you posted about her going on how men are all bad and awfull...
Just showing how women aren't all perfect either.
Yes! Well, most of them. He took in loads of animals that would of been killed by humans or died of injuries and the like. Most of the healthy animals were released back into their natural environment and away from danger. How anyone can hate the man is something I'll never understand!
Its when fanatics like you break away from your church (feminists), to try & turn the situation on how it affects you. Really you haven't got a leg to stand on that's why after my many attempts explaining this isn't about feminists, its about what a feminist said.
This "bitch" could have said she hopes another terror attack hits the UK, & as I chose to use the title feminist, you couldn't of gave a shit what she said, but I used feminist.
Oh & here's a newsflash, I have responded to peoples views. As you never really bothered to read in the first place, why would you read that?
Even I would had thought you could have came up with something more original than that. :yes:

WTF has having 2 kids got to do with validating your opinion ?
I suspect it is about manipulation not validation.There are numerous examples in any media content.
The fact he handled these animals and put himself at risk was the fundamental reason why he was so popular, and was so successful at raising awareness.
People seem to forget his Zoo program which just showed how dedicated he was to conservation.
He was twat when he took his baby into the croc pen with him, but one thing you can't knock is the way he treated animals.

There is as much justification for taking Jade Goody or the Page 3 girls comments seriously.........
Erm.. the point being made is the fact that she is a feminist is irrelevant to the comments she made, which you commented on.
Because you use it as a term of abuse, as if it is something which she should be ashamed of. You use "feminist" in the same way that others might use "bitch, wanker, cunt" etc...
I dont think you get it?
I USED THE TITLE "FEMINIST", BECAUSE SHE IS BEST KNOW AS A FEMENIST. IF I WAS REFERING TO A TOP FOOTBALLER, THEN I MIGHT HAVE WROTE, "TOP FOOTBALLER". ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT SEEM TO WANT TO CASUE ARGUMENTS ON THINGS THAT ARNT THERE. I WASNT TARGETING FEMINISTS AT ALL. THE THREAD ISNT EVEN ABOUT FEMENISTS, ITS ABOUT WHAT SHE SAID. I DIDNT SAY ALL FEMENISTS ETC. ETC.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE LINK IN POST 1? OR ARE YOU HERE TO TRY & CAUSE AN ARGUMENT?
EITHER READ THE THREAD FROM THE BEGGINING, OR CRY ABOUT IT.
Of course I can fucking read but you just don't seem to understand that you have offended people. I was trying to explain to you why they are offended. TBH I really don't give a shit how you describe her but don't get the arse when someone else picks you up on it and pushes you on it.
If the thread was about what she said then there is no reason to mention the feminist nature of some of her views. the fact that you did mention it - in an abusive way - means that he other views matter to you. It is that which you are being picked up on.
The actual content of her comments have been supported here. It's as if you are arguing that "how dare that fucking feminist dare to mouth off against my darling Steve?" when you appear to mean "how dare anyone dare to mouth off against my darling Steve?" Spot the difference.
And "sorry" really isn't that hard to type FFS
(You) dont seem to realise. This thread is about what she said, nothing to do with feminists at all. There has only been a few posts where people have discussed the article some agree, most disagree. There have alot more post where people are trying to pick irrelevant faults such as the title (like you). You haven't once discussed the article, yet only the title.
But I'm sure your going to look through this thread & copy & paste someone else's opinion.
So if I wrote threads like,
"Footballer says..."
"Top MP says..."
"Government official says...."
You would get yourself wound up because I used these titles? Get real.
:yawn:
:banghead:
So why mention feminist in the title? When you did so you drew the link between her political beliefs and her comments. You only have yourself to blame for the reaction.
because most of us coulnd't give a shit about what she says, apart from the issue for which she is renowned, most of us seem to see her opinions as irrelevant.
Hope you didn't put money on it.
No because you don't see it as abuse. If you'd said "Australian" mouths off, then it wouldn't be abusive. Throughout this thread though you have given a clear indication about your view of feminists and hence people know that you see it is a term which you can use to abuse someone. You problem is that she dared to say anoything at all awhich wasn't kissing Steve Irwin's arse. That she is a feminist gives you something to throw back.
When "off" proves too difficult...
The title says otherwise.
These are all jobs.
Her job isn't a feminist, it's an academic (or whatever she does now).
Now now, I wasn't going to mention that
