Ah well at least im trying. Maybe you two can post some things that might explain the power difference between men and women. I was just offering a chance to expand your thinking and reflect.

It seemed too University feminist woman’s studies leaning for me.

Women can get pregnant, carry a child in their womb for 9 months, and typically have all the necessary tools to nurture and raise her child, such as breast feeding her child. Men are envious of women for that very reason, they do not have the power to create life…this is wish washy rubbish. Devalues mens contributions to creating life…that’s the first paragraph. Then it went downhill fast…
Academic leaning garbage that does nothing to explain anything in reality…is how I see it.

Well done on reading the whole thing, SR. My eyes glazed over fast.

Haha fair enough roady and fair eniugh analysis. It was less about the article and more about the concepts intoduced by Horne last century...she was a bit of a trailblazer. Just a different perspective, and something to make us think. Like u i dont agrer with most of it, but i like that it made ne think, and i guess that's my point. I feel like us thinking and talking is a great positive step forward.
Cheers for reading and replying. Much appreciated

SR do you have women in your life? You always seemed to be searching on ways for how to treat them better.
I have a wife and 3 daughters 1 still at home, it’s not rocket science mate.
They get treated as equals with love and respect.

These guys killing these women if you looked into them are absolute deadbeats you wouldn’t want your daughters any where near them.

It was good yesterday, the wind changed 4 times , headhigh with overhead sets occasionally, today was waist high with headhigh occasionally but beautiful conditions. Tomorrow and next day getting smaller then I’m expecting solid 8ft out front and I will scamper down to a user friendly wave further down the bay . Brazilian lads did well spearfishing again today and the webber has been fired up .

No, he didn't say that. The Australian Labor Parody account said that.

Don't feel bad, many other people unable to do the simplest research and also pre-dispositioned towards hatred fell for it.

There was a similar occurrence some years ago. Two Aussie guys were pulled over late at night on a freeway by thieves posing as cops. Their car was later found burnt out with the two deceased.

I hope these guys are ok.

Crazy stuff. The US is nuts with their guns and stuff but then you look at the rest of Americas... I spent a fair bit of time in Chile (which everyone considered a good place). My mate was hit by a car and robbed in the middle of the street. A guy we rented an apartment from was beaten up and robbed on his way to meet us. They also broke into a car overnight, just smashed the window, and got in. When sitting in restaurants you get warned to hide all your stuff. And these were all the good areas. My good Chilean friends told me that this is nothing compared to Mexico. In Mexico, even the police might rob you.

He was bundled into a car by 3 guys taken to an atm and his accounts emptied with a gun at his head. Go USA. At least they didn’t kill him.

Nuts. I walk around alone when I travel but I'm very careful and rarely walk at night. And I also carry the bare minimum with me. Some streets in downtown LA felt eerie even in the middle of the day.

3 people where gunned down and killed 2 doors down from where I was living in Mexico. Another shooting occurred close by while i was there. Heard the gun shots and made a quiet retreat. It was a cartel hit. stormy rainy night power out etc. Next morning the locals were washing the blood away as if it never happened. Somewhat a common occurrence .Just another common oddity of the place. The fact you don't travel at night in mexico or flash your valuables is well known. Corruption and life is cheap there. Its people and culture fantastic. But the dark side is embedded and well known. Many a surfer has enjoyed it's fruits but the common sense risks should be listened to. I solo'd it, sketchy at times but so worth it. travel light and under the radar. Sometimes you need a guide in the heavier spots for safety but that in its self is never guaranteed, and even less for the budget traveler. Great people generally but like anywhere on it's day. When our number is up it's up.

Another tragedy at the hands of knife wielding thief. A sad day for his family and friends, who will live with the trauma for years to come. A terrible thing to happen. And as far as I can determine, no word from the Police on finding the attacker.

The talk surfing out there this morning was the attacker killed himself yesterday, there was a blew the night before at a homeless shelter/tents nearby, showed the cops on nbn news last night searching it.
Nothing confirmed on any news outlets, police, yet.

Nutter, that’s for sure. It’s strange to think that the scripture is real but to actually believe he’s talking back to you.
It’s like the socially acceptable mental illness.

But then he sensed God’s response, brought to him via Jesus. “So Scott, your enemies are getting the better of you, are they? You think you have been unfairly treated, have you?” Jesus said.

“You may have heard about some of my experiences … my friends deserted me … my people lied about me … I was betrayed by one of my closest friends.

“Scott, I get it. I’ve been there and worse, and you know what? I did it all for you, because I really love you … just follow me. Just believe in me and trust me.”
