FEMINIST FIASCO

Check out this extraordinary article from the International Herald Tribune on the implosion of a new feminist party in Sweden. Here’s a more detailed account of the party’s proposal to abolish marriage and recognize polygamy. Here Sweden’s prime minister announces that he would rather cooperate with the feminist party than with a new Swedish counterpart to Britain’s conservative party. And here’s an article on an attempt by a leftist Swedish party to co-opt some of the feminist party’s proposals. Here’s an account of the party’s unraveling.

This stuff is absolutely wild. It amounts to an attempt to establish a quasi-totalitarian feminist state. The cultural Left is usually clever enough to hide its ultimate aims by asking for what it wants in tiny increments. Only in Sweden is it foolish enough to ask for absolutely everything it could ever conceivably want–and all at once.

What a mess....

Why worry about it? Let Sweden go ahead and do it, and just sit back and be entertained.

If it actually works great, if not it becomes a historical footnote.

Maybe if Conservative parties were a little less extreme, and a little more tolerant, then they wouldn't have so much trouble attracting allies. In being extreme they've alienated moderates, and surrendered their votes to the left leaning parties. This leads to the exact opposite of what these extreme "conservatives" want to accomplish.

I'm not voting for them, but I do support equality in terms of salary and other societal rights. The party itself has been torn from the start by internal power struggles, which is likely to be their downfall. Expect the attempts at creating a more equal society to continue though. Meanwhile, you septics can keep your anti-abortionists, gun chauvinists and happy clappers. I'd rather take a pack of misguided ultra-feminists over them any day.

That's cool, but what I’d like to know more about the proposal to abolish marriage and recognize multiple partnerships. Is it really still alive?

The basics are like this: They feel the nuclear family is an outdated construction ill-fitted to modern times, and that people should be free to arrange their relationships as they see fit.

In Sweden, cohabiting couples now enjoy close to the same rights as married ones, but the people in favour of this suggestion are of the opinion that society should not force people into forming couples for economic reasons, and that people who choose to live together in two or three-partner constellations should have the ability to do so without being punished for it in terms of economy.

More and more scientists argue that humans are not a monogamous species. However, personally I think it would be too much hard work to have more than one partner, so I am content with the old formula.

But there is a darker side to these political groups – called collectively “Red Stockings” in neighbouring Denmark.

My experience of them, particularly in the work place would bring me closer to BM than you could imagine.

The use of sexual politics as a woman’s compensation for incompetence and inefficiency in endemic in Scandinavian countries.

I tried to fire a woman who simply was not qualified to do the job she was employed to do – not having the technical expertise, or the initiative to gain this expertise, but especially lacking the temperament required to work in even mildly, stressful situations.

When attempting to move her on to another job, she pulled out the sex card, saying she was being discriminated against because she was a woman.

This case then automatically went through a whole list of procedures from managerial meetings; the employing of an independent psychiatrist; union discussions; review by the board of directors; independent tribunal meetings. Until finally – a year later – she was transferred to another department.

This year of conflict virtually froze her job and cost thousands in outside consultation and necessary practical work.

At the end, my boss said to me, “Why in heaven’s name couldn’t she be a man about it. Accept the situation and find a new job? What has she gained? Nothing but trouble and strife (which ironically rhymes with …).

Yeah, it's too bad for the rest of us women when one bad apple makes everybody assume the rest are bad as well

As for abolishing marriage, the only thing I object to is the same thing I object to from anti-abortionists and others of that ilk: it is not about the issue but about control. Someone is trying to tell me how to live my personal life. They are trying to control me and my life. I don't like it, it is none of their business. People like that (be it men or women) always make me want to yell "Mind your own business".

No disrespect here to the ladies - jing jing!

It's just a joke!

99% of what I post is to be taken in humor!

...aside from the photos of our troops...

Ah, the truth is out. Boon Mee is actually a proponent of old "deus ex machina" s idea of humor: irony and sarcasm. He is not actually a conservative republican but a liberal that likes to stir things up!

All fun in jest eh??????

Take a look at NZ where a lesbien PM and her "friends" want to break up the family unit because they hate men....jing jing. They are disgusting!

1. Don't imagine you can change a man - unless he's in diapers.

2. What do you do if your boyfriend walks out? You shut the door.

3. If they put a man on the moon - they should be able to put them all up there.

4. Never let your man's mind wander - it's too little to be out alone.

5. Go for the younger man. You might as well, they never mature anyway.

6. Men are all the same - they just have different faces, so that you can tell them apart.

7. Definition of a bachelor: a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.

8. Women don't make fools of men - most of them are the do-it-yourself types.

9. Best way to get a man to do something is to suggest he is too old for it.

10. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.

11. If you want a committed man, look in a mental hospital.

12. The children of Israel wandered around the desert for 40 years. Even in Biblical times, men wouldn't ask for directions.

13. If he asks what sort of books you're interested in, tell him checkbooks.

14. Remember a sense of humor does not mean that you tell him jokes, it means that you laugh at his.

15. Sadly, all men are created equal.

A Test For The Ladies

Here is a visual perception challenge for you. See how quickly you can find the dogs in the following picture.

Typical comments by people taking the test:

1. "I couldn't see a dog and I stared at the picture for a good 10 minutes."

2. "I think it is one of those pictures where you have to stare at a certain spot and then everything comes into focus, but it never happened to me. I'll give it another try later."

3. "I almost didn't find the dogs at all!"

4. "There's a dog in this picture? Where?"

5. "This must be a joke; there are no dogs in this picture."

6. "The hel_l with the dogs, I need CPR."

For some as yet unexplained reason men seem to do better at this than women. In a determined effort to address this inequity, the state university's Department of Women's Studies has devoted a significant budget to finding answers and is currently processing numerous applications from female researchers and students alike to volunteer for the project. Even NOW (Nationwide Ostracized Women) has reportedly discussed the problem in secret committee meetings.

The following are average times for men and women:

Women - 12.46 minutes

Men - 1.23 seconds

Hint: The dogs appear to be white with black spots.

Good luck and happy hunting.
