I think that comes from a wider problem that females tend to be more sexualised in clothing and presentation than men. men are presented more as fully rounded humans, while (hetero)sexuality is made much more central for females. It can be seen in clothing ...Written By: Karolyn_IS - Date published: 5:17 pm, February 18th, 2025
Agreed. Police understaffing was also identified as a factor. Response from Speak Up for Women to the report.

Agree. I'm neither Kellie-Jay Keen (Posie Parker) fan, nor a fan of Tamaki and Destiny Church. That's why, even though I think female sex-based rights and provisions are some thing to fight for, I never went to the LWS Albert Park event. I'm also not a ...Written By: Karolyn_IS - Date published: 12:28 pm, February 16th, 2025

Yep. Both excellent pieces. The big question is, in the context of the extreme right wing, techno-corporate capitalists in power in NZ and other countries, plus the interwoven patriarchal systems to differing degrees left & right, how does the broader left ...Written By: Karolyn_IS - Date published: 12:07 pm, February 9th, 2025

Thanks for the links. I guess this part of the Bill may be a problem in relation to the BBC cited case in Aussie, if Section (1) (b) is necessary for a conviction: "(1) For the purposes of section 216Q, a person (person A) stalks and harasses another ...Written By: Karolyn_IS - Date published: 3:22 pm, February 6th, 2025

I'm having difficulty following your argument. Many lesbians and some gay men have children, eg through reproductive technologies these days.

There have been some polls that show that last year both Democrat and Republican voters became more opposed to trans IDed males in sport (a big issue in the US), in bathrooms, etc. YouGov on bathrooms: the Independent vote is significant because it may ...Written By: Karolyn_IS - Date published: 4:31 pm, February 4th, 2025
I agree. Trump doesn't seem to have factored in Differences of Sex Development. He doesn't seem to care. The term "assigned female/male at birth" was initially used for people with DSDs, whose sex was incorrectly identified and recorded at birth. These are ...Written By: Karolyn_IS - Date published: 3:56 pm, February 4th, 2025
I think Musk is a major concern with the propaganda and administrative power he has with Big Tech, social media and his role in the Department of Government Efficiency. The Goebbles of the digital age.Written By: Karolyn_IS - Date published: 11:39 am, January 26th, 2025

I noticed it'd been held back. But I posted a few comments after this one that went straight through. I figured it was probably the number of URLs and that it'd be sorted eventually.

They also analyse emotions via analysis of syntax and word choice, plus, in audio and video chats, etc, they analyse voice tone, facial movements, gesture etc for emotions.

Big Tech already has a pretty good idea of who we are individually.

I have heard that some NZ rape crises services accept males but put them up in motels and don't house them with women survivors. Don't know how true that is.

Yes. Agree on the definition. I was looking at this last night in preparation for a response to LPrent's comment to me yesterday afternoon on the Open Mike of a couple of days ago. I'll put this here, because a full reply to LPrent, with sources, will take ...
