You have at least proposed an alternative, unlike most of the people complaining about this. Your alternative sounds fine in theory, but Wellington City Council gives us a fine example of the extent to which we could rely on councils to actually do the ...
Putting McAnulty in charge of this was a great move. Here, he answers the questions but also makes sure the essential messages are put out there in simple terms anyone can understand: Newshub Nation interview There are a few attempts to get him to bad-...
Found the Crown Law advice: https://www.beehive.govt.nz/sites/default/files/SG%20Opinion%202%20Aug%202006.pdf How things have changed in the last 17 years! CLO considers "discrimination" against trans-identified people in the usual terms, eg can't be ...
"...Crown Law determined it was already included as discrimination based on sex." An excellent illustration of "the NZ government is conflating sex and gender and causing a lot of confusion." It also helps explain why Weka and I had someone on Twitter the ...
I read that thread and followed the link Tze Ming provided to one of the TDP articles to show how strong their data and methodology actually is. And it turned out that neither the methodology were explained. As weka's said elsewhere in this thread, the ...
I'd appreciate it if media wouldn't publish any blather from NACT about Labour's proposals without a statement that they'd asked what alternative NACT were proposing and either here it is or "Reader, alternative proposal was there none."
I liked the relatively brief period of time when feminists were using 'gender' for the stereotypes a society applies to the sexes. That was actually a useful distinction, in that it gave you a handy way to distinguish between differences that were a result...
I fully accept my characterisation of Plunket's interviewing was a personal opinion! I'm torn between being grateful he's providing a platform for these women to be heard and personally annoyed at his interviewing style. Agree that some variant of option 1...
"Eveyone I don't like is a Nazi" is a contender for most annoying feature of the 'progressive' left. It's appallingly disrespectful to victims of the Nazis, for a start.
If you can endure your way through Plunket's constant, annoying interruptions, this is a gobsmacking interview. It leaves only two possible explanations for the Police failure to maintain public order and protect the mob's victims: 1. The liaison with the ...
Actually the medical/scientific view until recently was largely chromosomal. That may have been the medical consensus but it certainly wasn't the scientific one, which was and is that sex is a mode of reproduction and it involves the fusing of two ...
Unfortunately, the left has as many authoritarians as the right, and just as ugly.
It isn't a case whether I like her or not, pal. In that case, maybe you shouldn't write comments announcing who should or shouldn't be allowed into the country. The majority of people didn't want her here... In your not-very-humble opinion, perhaps. ......
"People I don't like should never be welcome in this country." You're not the personal arbiter of who's welcome in this country and who isn't, pal. Fortunately, the people who make the rules take a less self-centred approach to who can enter.
What trans rights are the women you're slurring as "TERFs" failing to respect?
The organisers of an event have no authority to enforce public order, that's the police's job. Organisers of an event also shouldn't be subject to the threat of mob violence - again, it's the police's job to prevent the mob acting on those threats, and ...
I've now also made a complaint, will report back on what I get fobbed off with.
Farrier, like most other authoritarians of the left, thinks that preventing other people speaking or drowning out what they're saying is "free speech." It's right up there with his thuggish pals who promote the totalitarian view "Freedom of speech doesn't ...
Of course there were some unruly and over zealous people among the counter protestors and their violence should be condemned. And yet you haven't done that. ...the vast majority were there out of genuine concern for the vile hatred KJK has been spouting ...
SUFW are making a formal complaint. I'm glad to hear that. The police need to account for their failure to even attempt to maintain public order.
She doesn't just condone the violence, she praises it. I'm definitely not voting for this party again until the misogynist gender loons have been driven out of it.
TVNZ news reporter actually spoke to some of the women who attended, now that was something new! Still referred to the mob violence as "emotions running high on both sides" though, as though there were two groups having an argument.
The police have a lot of options open to them, including saying "It looks difficult to keep you separated from protesters at the site you've nominated, this spot looks more manageable." Of course, you don't need to even consider options if you're planning ...
Yes, the whole "But it's OK to punch these guys" narrative that goes with this gives me the shits.
'If you were to replace words in the OP with different words, it would have a different meaning.' Er, yes. Yes it would. Your point?
I'd never have thought it possible that people would be able to make the word 'Nazi' lose all meaning and impact, but they're well on the way there. I've been called a Nazi multiple times the last couple of weeks for saying women have a right to speak. ...
It's true that the word 'biological' is superfluous there, but unfortunately, men who want access to women-only spaces have made it a useful adjective.
I could feel a bit less loathing for the left-wing authoritarians who say it's OK to punch Nazis if they didn't also claim that everyone they don't like is a Nazi. They need to face up to the fact that they're just a different flavour of hateful thug from ...
Caption: man is very pleased with himself that he was able to prevent women speaking.
My God, one journalist actually spoke to the woman the NZ media's been maligning in their news coverage for days? How generous!
Bloke thinks he should go to protest women in speaking in public. Disappointed but not surprised, it seems to be much more common among blokes than I'd suspected.
