Ann: Chairman's Address and Presentation to AGM, page-142

dv.. imo at some stage i think you are going to have to stop taring all us males with the same brush. You continually assume that we all have something against you as a women. I think in some cases you may be 100% correct but in most cases i think you are misunderstanding that a difference in opinion or views is a direct slur against you/women. You most certainly bring a different viewpoint to this forum and is what we all need to keep questioning ADO and in life i have realised that women most definitely do not think/reason like men and that is actually a healthy thing but needs to be respected as not gender based but rather just differing viewpoints between adults..

Just because we don't agree or support your views does not mean its because you are a women (again i am sure in a few cases this may not be true but certainly not in most cases).. its because some of the time we may simply just not agree with them.. and this too is ok and you also happily admit that we are not taking up the obvious which is in a roundabout way telling us males that we are stupid no? The obvious to you may not be the obvious to others hence we have opinions. Some people are happy to change their opinions when others present theirs and others will just blindly stick by them to the death.. that is just how we humans are..

So i think if somehow we can all just drop the gender bias thing for now it would be good as i think its detracting from the real discussion points you and others are putting forward currently..
