Fine. Let's change the panel to all female with a token male.

:badass:

Really wouldn't make a difference in my mind.

The problem is, and most feminists I've spoken to agree, that it is not the males that have problems with appointed/ elected women, it's other women themselves.

Study after study has shown that women vote/ prefer to be led and managed by males. Males, believe it or not, don't have as much of a problem with it. Strange but true. It's why there aren't more female politicians. And it's why political parties don't use more female candidates, because the studies show, it is not a very successful strategy...

Btw, would you mention the the comments in your first post on this thread to your grandmother, mother, wife, sister, daughter (assuming you are a male)?
Issues?

Dismayed.

I was being sarcastic obviously...

But yeah, I do say things like that to the women in my family. And they take it with a laugh. When you do grow up in a family of rabbid feminists, you do have to give some back... in a comedic way of course...

All men are inherently sexist, didn't you take high school English?

I thought it was just the fat feminist Ms Lovatt who peddled such rubbish!

"We're oppressed!"

"No, the only thing that is oppressed here is the elastic in your clothing, you obese monolith!"

p.s. male education standards are now appalling. The sky is falling!

I am sure they think it is funny!

Say no more.

:walker:

NOW, how many females on the ASF moderating panel?
None?

:engel:

PS: I know some lovely men who aren't sexist.
Maybe there are comfortable with their own masculinity/femininity?
Not sure they have appeared on this thread yet.

I know Joe considers himself an expert on women. Many long years of exhaustive research

Women? You'll have to ask Joe.

Many have applied but none have successfully completed the humiliating yet hilarious initiation rituals...

Exhaustive being the key word there.

Too many! Now I'm old, embittered and cranky... at 38! :

I heard Ms Harris with this comment on 'PM' this evening and my only thought was "I wonder what especially qualifies Cate Blanchett as an actor to be on such an august panel?" The gender balance didn't cross my mind.

I am very surprised this seems to have slipped through too...good luck to her and all...but really...an actor????

"OK, stand over here. Now, when its your turn, you say this..."
And if you do it well you can be on the panel!

How about Russell Crowe as special advisor on telecommunications?
Mel Gibson on religious affairs?
Shame Tom is not still with Nic he could become an Aussie and advise on mental health issues.

Dear Joe

Many have applied but none have successfully completed the humiliating yet hilarious initiation rituals...

At this point in time, I can't say I am surprised you have no female moderators.

You have outdone HC because they do!

He, he.

On the subject of 'ego' on page 1, this is actually pretty important.

Ego plays a large role in life, & it may be one of the driving forces behind histories most brilliant people (of whom are mostly male); perhaps women are more content with life; whilst men, & their ego's - are always attempting to change / better it.

moneymajix · 27 February 2008

Hi Nyden

whilst men, & their ego's - are always attempting to change / better it.

That might be why "ethnics" did not gain a spot on the panel.
Maybe they can't change things for the better.

And look at what a brilliant and well moderated site HC is compared to ASF as a result of participation of female moderators! Keep digging.

This is a serious conference, they're not talking about hairspray, or tampons.

Children make up about 30% of the population, I didn't hear them crying out.

I'm surprised gays and lesbians haven't demanded representation though. That's about 70% of the population right now.

Now, who else can I make angry....

Oh, those Muslims, how were they represented? We have the 'Anglican Everywhere' on the panel!!

Damn surprised the Australian of the Year hasn't been selected, we probably needed a theme song.

And where are The Wiggles!!!

Oh, hang on, there's going to be 100 on the panel. So, perhaps the balance will sort itself out.

Julia, Prospector and Grace for the panel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last line saved ya Kennas!

That was my thought as well. She's an actress for Christs sake, what the hell is she doing on there? Why don't they just yank 10 people off the street and ask them?

Hey, Cate was Queen of England, wasn't she

Some people here seem to love bagging HC.

How come they seem intimately aware of what goes on there?

Hmmm... Is that hypocrytical?

Anyway, come on guys, let's have some fun with NESB (non-English speaking background) Aussies and residents.

I know some of you must like curries.

Interesting discussion over here, wink wink.

Crikey! Great find.

Yep, lack of perspective and sense of humour appear to be spreading. Progress indeed.

Your argument again makes no logical sense. Why would bagging HC imply intimate awareness? You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows. (p.s. Now you're probably getting upset because I called it a weather man instead of a weather person). And why would it be hypocritical to be aware of something and critique it??

Mate, mate, mate... jobs for the boys

Hi Rub

At this time of night, what can I say?
No one 's "listening" anyway.

This thread is hilarious.

You are right about everything.

Boys Rule.

I trust you are happy. Sleep tight.

Night, night.

PS: As for sense of humour. Do you think this is funny?

CIA Test

The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists...Two men and a woman.

For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside of this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!!!" The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job."

The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the man came out with tears in his eyes." I tried, but I can't kill my wife." The agent said,"You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."

Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow, and said, "This gun is loaded with blanks. I had to beat him to death with the chair."

Well, the joke saved you. That's quite funny. No need to patronise though. We can agree to disagree. No peeing contest intended or implied from my perspective.

I can tell you, if you go to see Blanchett in "Elizabeth - the Golden Age", you'd say she's worth 9 blokes anyways.

wowo - she is fantastic.

I dare them to let her dress as QE1 and chair the meeting
