Clementine Ford

[JW Frogen]

I'm a borderline piss head, so not really. I could out drink you and then out-melancholic drunk you too.

I am the Mohammed Ali of booze, the greatest of all time.

And you young lady are not.

And you do not want to be.

Go to

Sleep young one and wake up reborn in ever changing chance of youth.

Live your hopes and dreams, they matter.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Borderline piss head? I'm a professional piss head, I could drink you under the table no problems.

How many you had tonight and what songs you gonna listen to, bra?

Seriously what's with this woman?

She seriously would have to be one of the biggest hypocrites when it comes to gender issues and violence and gender issues and mental health. Yet again we are seeing her writing a gendered article around a man who is suspected of utilising violence to kill family members.

Here is her latest article where she attacks the man who was suspected of killing the family at Margaret River.
https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/li...the-good-bloke-narrative-20180514-p4zf6r.html

Furthermore the article makes references to other cases of male violence which led to death in a domestic setting and how feminists were compelled to consider the plight of the male perpetrator's mental health. This is a claim which Clementine Ford utterly rejects, despite there being significant evidence to show this was a factor in these cases.

Yet ironically Clementine stays strangely silent when there is a female perpetrator of similar crimes. A good example was the case involving the Sudanese woman who drove the car into the lake killing her own kids. Clementine was simply not willing to call out this behaviour like she would if it was a male and tell us that mental health should not be considered because it would make multiple of her pro women claims untenable.

Incredibly despite her rejection of mental health issues relating to matters such as domestic violence, Clementine Ford was hired to be a key speaker for Lifeline the mental haelth call centre. This is noe no longer taking place due to a strongly supported online petition against her based on her views towards males and her tweets.

It is incredible that a mental health related body would have even thought that it would have been prudent to inite someone to speak who is so dismissive of mental health and males.

So this begs the question why some of those on the progressive side of politics are so willing to support and lap up the comments she makes, especially when her views are incredibly conservative on a number of issues including male's mental health problems?

I personally feel that she is simply a vile troll and bigoted woman who should be taken about as seriously as an episode of Dave Chappele.

Every time you click on and angrily read one of her button pushing articles she makes money.

That's what is "with" her.

I didn't drink at all tonight, will probably have a few tomorrow night, I need to drink when I watch St Kilda games to dull the pain.

 

[HairyO]

From the article (first line): "At the result of the Bolt trial the Left cheered the defeat of free speech"
- Speaking of loaded, ridiculous bollocks.

The modern leftie is all about banning speech. Do you not pay attention?

 

[Seeds]

She is sane compared to Kasey Edwards who has become bat crazy.

 

[Seeds]

I do find a certain irony in that her biggest detractors seems to be the same people who read Bolt enthusiastically.
Peas from the same pod utilizing the exact same modus operandi.

I despise bolt. I'm also a massive detractor of Ford.

 

[Seeds]

She's really a nobody trying to carve out a niche in a dying business.

A dying business? Um How?

Fairfax would be the definition of a dying business.

[Reynolds Number]

I just get a laugh at some of her more repugnant stuff.

And on the other extreme a friend on Twitter was asked if he was participating in women's marches after criticising Wayne Carey's commentary.

 

[tandino]

how?

Falling circulation figures and laying off staff would be a good place to start.

 

[Back One Out]

Andrew Bolt got multiple, multiple facts wrong. Even basic stuff that a 10 second Google could have found.
He's a liar, plain and simple.
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...lt-trifled-with-the-facts-20110928-1kxba.html

Freedom of speech is not at stake here. Judge Mordecai Bromberg is not telling the media what we can say or where we can poke our noses. He's attacking lousy journalism. He's saying that if Andrew Bolt of the Herald Sun wants to accuse people of appalling motives, he should start by getting his facts right.

Wow... Mordy Bromberg became a Federal Court judge...

Strange to see an ex-St Kilda footballer achieve respectability and end up on the other side of the bar

 

[dumb]

if you've followed her articles for a little while, you'll remember that she came out in support of dane swan when his nudes were leaked (she's outspoken on the rights of people/women who have their naked photos shared without consent).

like many feminist (or perhaps left-leaning) columnists and indeed left-leaning individuals, the offense she takes is often rooted in semantics.
you might remember back to public announcements of asking women to take care as there had been sexual assaults. she gets flustered at this telling of women what to do, and instead insists we teach men not to rape, which just doesn't make sense. they'll happen no matter who and how many get taught, and they will never stop happening. word your same concern about women in vulnerable spaces differently and she may not bat an eyelid.

other than that, she doesn't appear to have much of a sense of humor but that's not unusual for someone in her line of work.

According to RoCo half the building on Spencer St was empty by the time he left.

The Age is rake thin these days, almost like its a student paper.

Print Journalism in general is dying

I'm also a massive detractor of Ford.

A Holden man, eh

From football to failed Labor candidate to Federal judge passing judgement on political issues.

Almost as interesting a life as Mary Gaudron.

Are you suggesting his decision in Eatock v Bolt was based on bias not law? You'd think if that was the case it would've been appealed.

 

[Chief]

I deleted the worst of the crap posts abusing Clementine Ford's husband and so on.

Not sure why that crap needs to be posted but stick to the topic or be removed from the thread.

Thank you.

 

[Taylor]

I like Clementine.
Quite a clever writer and a reasonably good troll.

She's obviously paid to be inflammatory and she plays the part well.
Just a 'Shock Jock' from the other side.

I agree with this.

It's easy to be a popular writer but, like acting, when someone is so evil that you hate them, like Joffrey, then they are really doing well.

She is playing her role and sucking people in.

Ironic from the perspective that many people simply dont or cant switch off to an ideology they dont like or agree with. #Ivegottagetthelastwordin.

 

[Gough]

Re Bolt, I've never understood why people pay so much attention to the opinion of a man unable to complete first year Arts. I mean really, turning up to your tutes and spewing 1500 words out a couple of time a semester was too much for him?

What he failed Arts? He must be really ****ing stupid.

 

[Teagueeee15]

We had to do some arts subjects related to ethics as part of my Commerce degree, so the class was split between Business and Arts degree students.

The tutor had some great advice for the business students, “if you want to do well in arts, don’t write essays supporting your own opinion, write essays supporting the exam markers opinion”. That’s probably how Bolt failed.

If you define yourself by your beliefs then someone challenging them is a challenge to you and how you measure yourself in society.

If I were to say that the quality of a man is his small appendage then men who had built a persona around a large one would defend their previously hard fought position and place in society by attacking me and my credibility, rather than the validity of either position as a status symbol.

Humans cling to odd things as a sign of position but we are constantly defining ourselves against our peers so I can understand why.
