What do you mean quick? He kept her in the van until she stopped screaming. He left her in the cellar until she grew accustomed to the ropes. He took his time cutting off her clothes with the scissors. It took him an hour to be able to perform because the ghost of his abusive mother was beating him the whole time.

Isn't that standard courtship/foreplay? What more do they expect?

My time line was a little off, I was commenting from a few posts back! Didn't use quote function, sorry!
 
The ideology might be evil, but in application it is a societal irrelevance, surely.

You made me have to figure out how it could be societally relevant, and the best I could come up with is that it makes long strides in reinforcing the idea that the pigs of the world are what nature expects men to be. Suppose this idea became mainstream? I realize academia is completely detached from reality, but some of the craziest ideas have managed to make their way into the culture and have significant effects. Apply the same radicalism to race relations, and then look at the Trayvon Martin case, including the attendant hysteria.

I don't know what Australia is like, but there's a significant demographic in the U.S. that believes any kind of negativity that befalls a non-caucasian is automatically the result of institutionalized, unconscious racism. No further investigation is required.

People who type 'Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics!' then proceed to post better looking images than mine done with a digital camera. :(

You might be heartened by the downward trending enrolments in the 'gender studies' courses at the university at which I work, and elsewhere. Those courses are typically delivered and attended by a bunch of hairy-backed feminazis, who enjoyed a pretty good run through the '90s. Give them another few years and with any luck they'll either have adapted to the times or disappeared altogether.

On the race thing, I read a reasonable amount of US-related news and am often dismayed at how race is typically discussed and debated on your side of the trench. A couple of years back we had a mini diplomatic crisis with India because Indian students were being targeted in late-night/early-morning muggings. The Indian press beat it up into a race issue, but the Australian politicians, law enforcement and media were at pains to point out that that the students were often alone on the street in the night hours, getting themselves home after working at gas stations and convenience stores. They were targeted because they were perceived to be non-fighters carrying smartphones and iPods, not because of the colour of their skin (their attackers were often dark-skinned Pacific Islanders, which was never pointed out in the Indian press). Australia definitely has its fair share of racism, but we tend to be pretty good at identifying proper context when things go wrong. Loads of Irish backpackers get beaten up on our city streets, but you don't hear the Irish government and media banging on about race like the Indians did. I'd like to think that a Trayvon Martin-like incident would be played out a bit more broadly here than "he was killed because he was black". I hope so anyway.

Sorry all for the thread derail. I f#$%ing hate Australia copping the racist tag when it's no more racist than the countries who seem to like throwing it at us as a measure of their own superior sophistication and culture.
 
Lejuan, to hear it from the Australians on my one Facebook page, stuff like that doesn't go on of there. It's the USA that has all the violence because we have guns. If we banned guns like they did there, all would be well.

This all started because they said our government was going to arm all our teachers. I tried to set them straight on that but they said it was on their news so they believe them.

Yeh, a lot of Australians like to lecture from a position of ignorance too. We have less than a tenth of the population of the US and regulated gun ownership - and yet still we have almost daily news reports of drive-by shootings and the like. What has also been in our news a lot has been the 'king hit' phenomenon: juiced-up men walking up to unsuspecting victims and clobbering them in the head. Google 'king hit' and 'Sydney' and you'll see what I mean. Australia is as violent a place as you'll get in any peace-time nation, maybe more-so. Ask those facebook holier-than-thous how safe they felt the last time they went out for a night on the town - and don't get me started on the road rage that happens here :(
