More bovine excrement from their ABC, page-176

well why don’t we get somewhere with the issue of objectification of women, it’s link with violence against women and your so far refusal or at best ignoring the matter and defending one of the worst offenders on hotcopper.

I remain curious about why you positioned yourself as a feminist “your ex wife’s reference” and yet couldn’t bring yourself to acknowledge the issue. What do you think young women and schoolgirls feel about objectification. It’s disrespectful, insolent and damaging. If you have a daughter how would you feel about another man objectifying her. And for any partner that realises that is what a man does behind their back it is usually experienced as a betrayal.

In any world where violence against women means anything it is a problem when a man is abusive of which objectification is one example . But it is equally problematic if another man knowingly looks on

what you have described thus
Yeah I used to respect that poster because she seemed quite cluey and articulate. But now it's just critiquing other people and how flawed they are

Is you getting upset that I am prepared to call people out.

it is not commenting on flaws but on behaviour. Behaviour is that which people say or do or, on hotcopper, wrote. Flaws are not the same though i understand that it may not feel like that - particularly if called out for a behaviour you refuse to acknowledge

Whether you respect me or not is irrelevant but if you have a problem with me noting behaviour that I don’t much like then you might care to reflect on yourself. That sentence above of yours alone is doing what you criticise me for. You do it to others as well. it is a regular part of hotcopper behaviour - as much as the thrust and party of debate. In fact I’d say it is maybe more frequent than the latter.

I am fully capable of discussing an issue and unlike some others I don’t feel the need to do that on a wide range of topics - there are however some topics that are particularly important to me. and I’ll will continue to post on those and whether you like it or not the behaviour exhibited by others on those threads matters to me as well.

If you think that someone who has experienced what I did from a man will let garbagy behaviour go by you are mistaken. I am fortunate indeed that my daily life is full of kindness, community, shared goals and contribution. Hotcopper is a reminder to me that what I experience is something to be grateful for.

there is more I could say but maybe you get the point.
