Does that mean men get to be sexist as well? Equality and all? Your logic is seriously flawed, dude.

It's because its a warrior culture. That culture is perpetuated through each new generation of recruits. The junior officers and soldiers get taught by the senior ones, then in turn become the senior ones doing the teaching.

Defense Forces around the world need to break that cycle, and I think that may require a…

Would if we could... we need him. The Australian Defense Force culture needs a lot of work, and nobody is 100% sure how we are going to fix it.

He's a good start though. I think he's the first military chief here to really get angry about this. It's encouraging.

One of my posts disappeared :(.

It doesn't matter.

I'm engaging you honestly and I accept that you don't see it my way... I simply can't agree with you. kr99x was not entitled nor whiney. He was very cautious not to be to begin with, to the point that it was almost laborious.

Your* arguments against him were based on…

I'll say this much... Lindy is right to not want to deal with obvious trolls and people who are just being tools.

I agree with kr99x, that the silent majority of people are ignorant and unexposed. When they do come asking questions, it's important to differentiate them from trolls and tools alike, and engage them…

What you mean to say is, as soon as people criticized him, he didn't come around to their way of thinking. Why should he? He disagrees on that point, and is not therefore a valid target for abuse.

I see what you did with your second paragraph though. It doesn't really work though. In my paragraph I point out that…

That's just it though. He isn't treating you as an enemy. He's expressing with fellow feminists his opinion on how the cause should be spread; through education and not vilification. He uses his own anecdotal evidence to support it. Obviously anecdotal evidence isn't the best source, but mine is very similar, so I…

I find the name calling of kr99x particularly bad. This poster has made some good arguments, and done so with civility and decorum. That's not being a troll, it's being a constructive and positive member of a conversation. To say other wise, and then bully, abuse and swear at aforementioned OP is intellectually…

I can't help but notice that all the hostility, condescension and name calling on this thread is rather one sided. It's rather telling.

You seem like a genuine, reasonable and fair minded individual with concerns for legitimate issues.

The term 'MRA' has become a very terrible word indeed. Members of MRAs did that to themselves I'm sorry to say.

People like you and me should get away from all of that. Believing that the education gap is a problem for…

You're probably right, I went off on a pretty big tangent there. I just felt it was pertinent to the overall discussion outside of this thread.

Thank fuck someone had the courage to say this.

I fit this 'millennial' bill perfectly.

It's a rare person indeed who sincerely finds it fulfilling, for either men or women.

The norm is fast becoming both partners work. Maybe that's for the best. I certainly wouldn't want to be a house husband, and I sure as heck wouldn't ask my girlfriend to be a house wife.

Maybe when we earn more we can get a weekly…

Generalization much?

It's OBVIOUSLY a Bantha.

Wasn't the RW at the end of Part 2 of book 3? If so, then it seems they are collapsing both parts of book 3 into a singular season.

Interesting.

Yeah it can be a bit snarky at times, but I think there is a good vibe here of inclusion.

You are 100% right about MRAs. It's rubbish, and it makes it almost impossible for a male to discuss such issues without being labelled as one. They have a lot to answer for by polarizing important issues the way they have.

I just…

I'm the poster of the below. I've created a legitimate account now... I think.
