Date published: 3:03 pm, March 21st, 2023thanks tWiggle, really appreciate that. I still hold some hope that progressive people will find a way forward that works for women, LGB, and gender non conforming people, all of us, so long as we can keep lines of good communication open.

Date published: 1:37 pm, March 21st, 2023Hi weka. Thanks for unpacking your thinking for me, that was really helpful. I went to today's 21 post without checking 20th yesterday's, which I posted nearly at midnight, which is why I expanded my post there. My mistake, and I'll keep that in mind ...

Comment:Daily review 20/03/2023
Date published: 1:01 am, March 21st, 2023This feminist opinion piece classes Posy Parker and her organisation as a "cult of personality". Think I'm getting the gist of why her defenders here are so zealous. https://womensliberationaotearoa.org.nz/hyperbole-waives-the-rules/

Date published: 12:11 am, March 21st, 2023Weka, you seem upset at the content I've been putting up about Posy Parker. Please would you answer one question? Do you agree with her 2018 statement that 'transgender men should be sterilised'? After all, by her definition they are still, immutably, ...

Date published: 8:10 pm, March 20th, 2023Still enough to get kicked out of the Victorian Parliament. She is some sort of replacement for another ilLiberal MP who was himself kicked out for dismissing abortion for rape victims. So she hasn't even been voted in yet. Poor her, dropping off the Oz ...

Date published: 4:52 pm, March 20th, 2023I found it a credible argument for at least serious monitoring of her in NZ, if not shutting her out. The case was well supported with examples that she is a provocateur, weka. I'm a little disappointed with the tarring of so-called tarrers, who weren't. ...
