Maybe he should focus on the actual responsibilities of a Defence Minister and like, I don't know, maybe actually ensure that our troops have the equipment to discern and discuss the climate-change implications of the helicopter rotor transporting them to the restorative justice based beachball dialogue for the manatees of Kiribati.

To the point that some of the original indigenous hiphop bands (from before aus-hiphop was a thing) were getting booed out of their own concerts for trying to muscle in on the white domain..

It's from yesterday but Tom Elliot mansplains everything for the poor young lasses. The image is actually a huge as gently caress mobile phone pic so uh click for big. Ladies, have you considered earning more to close the pay gap????? The best part was "I was at an International Ladies Week breakfast and instead of listening to experts talk about the challenges women face, I thought, gee, why don't you act like someone with a penis would?"

http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/dec/04/tax-transparency-senate-votes-down-last-ditch-attempt-to-remove-exemptionThe Guardian posted:Nearly 1,500 companies will continue to be exempt from filing reports to the corporate regulator after the Senate voted down a last-minute attempt to remove the historic exemption. Personally, I think Ricky Muir's amendment is very nice thinking, but it is true that it would have stopped the bill from going through. So the Greens are being pragmatic, and copping a vigorous booting for it. From the same people that complain that they're pie-in-the-sky and unrealistic. And Jesus, the comments on the above piece. On the Guardian no less. Australians really are deeply, deeply stupid.

Maybe the idea of 'closing the pay gap' is flawed in that it treats men and women as identical interchangeable economic units rather than two groups whose differing reproductive roles in creating the next generation of society mean that there was always be imbalances between the sexes in many metrics.

I can't imagine that there is any society on earth in which women would exceed men by those measurements and yet somehow that feels intuitively to make sense right? As if despite the variations of culture and economics amongst the world's peoples, this imbalance must originate in something to do with a fundamental difference between men and women that is rooted in our nature. Perhaps these imbalances (often complementary) manifest themselves in many areas of life, to the extent that earning equal wages through selling their labour to the market is a rather arbitrary and ahistorical way of measuring equality and respectful, productive relations between the sexes.

Socialisation and profiling adequately explains differences in prison incarceration rates. HTH In any cases, your hypothesis that women have fewer maladaptive traits leading to imprisonment directly contradicts your assertion that they are worth less in the workforce. Having more perfect socialisation should belie a better worker, not a worse one.

So there it is, the final stage of the Liberal plan coming to fruition already. NBN destroyed, tax dollars wasted, we all lose. Telstra wins, again.

BlitzkriegOfColour posted:Socialisation and profiling adequately explains differences in prison incarceration rates. HTH But men have more testosterone than women and testosterone has a well-documented relationship to to aggressive, bold or risk-taking behaviours; Needless to say, the ends towards which these impulses are directed vary wildly depending on the environment, personality, socioeconomic background and opportunities available to a given individual It would certainly seem to be responsible for at least some for the over-representation of both men in jail (or the armed forces) and men in the higher echelons of business or government, a pattern which seems common to essentially every society and culture on which we have information. If there has been a society in which the opposite is true I would be truly interested to avail myself of it. As a side node it just seems odd to me that progressives who lambast the religious denial of evolution seem so averse to acknowledging the role our biology plays in crafting our selves, our desires, our fears and our relationships - and by extension our societies.

People in this thread aren't so different from the masses they claim to hate. The ability for the government to punish deviants is much, much, more important than any right. After all, if you don't rock the boat you won't need them anyway.
