Ingrid sees Toxic Masculinity everywhere.

Even the trees are out to get her.

I wish I had so little going on in my life where I would feel the need to share this on Twitter. What a dumb broad

 

[CheapCharlie]

Whats her problem with that picture?

Im hoping it was just to trigger the right wing nuffies that seem to have converged on the tweet like flies to a s**t.

Yes, yes of course it was

 

[Chief]

Yeah me too. I grew up loving that ad, seemed very inspirational.

I think that is the problem with the new one. The overall message is good but it is not inspirational. It is condescending.

What the people trying to get this message across need to know is that the idea that men or masculinity has a widespread fundamental problem, or is toxic, is wrong.

But that isn’t the message.

Some of the behaviours that aren’t good for anyone are being called out. That’s all.

You should probably watch the ad before commenting. If you had watched it you would know that it's conflating normal male behaviour with 'toxic masculinity'.

And please explain why the * should we trust and assign moral authority to a company that is trying to sell us stuff?

And it’s a company whose own backyard isn’t exactly ship shape as well.

Come on guys, I still believe BP stands for “beyond petroleum”.

Clementine Ford has resigned/been sacked from Fairfax. Taking away the platform for her extremism can only benefit us all.

 

[Kardinia Pork]

All those who identify as male should be forced to go vegan.

This is the first step to detoxify our world of toxic masculinity.

Pity about that. On a platform like Fairfax where they have editors and so forth to keep a lid on her, she's actually quite readable. I don't often agree with what she says, but she makes me think and see things from another perspective.

Away from any constraints she'll just rant away on twitter and facebook and be totally unreadable. Like Donald Trump. And the irony will be totally lost on her.

"Clementine Ford has been a contributor for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age for the past seven years and we thank her for her work over that time."

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

I'm not actually happy about the Ford sacking. There's an element of 'hoisted by her own petard' that amuses me but there's a sinister air of censorship about it.

 

[Royal Flush]

I'm guessing this has been posted before in this thread.
But if it hasn't here goes

There possibly is some element of censorship but we still only have clem Ford's side of things.
By the same standard is there any other columnist or journo at Fairfax who could write one article, let alone dozens, critical of women in the same tone as Ford has done for years?
There is a case that Ford has operated by her own rules and rules that other people cannot operate by for many years

She seems to be incapable of expressing a strong opinion without descending into abuse. Then when people have said less offensive things about her she's gone to their employers to get them sacked.

There's always hairdressing college.

Clem seems to be losing control

 

[kickazz]

Just another outrage merchant that didn't really want to make the world a better place as much as she wanted to make money out of outrage.

Those trees * me about too
Its not the pollen,its the seed pods its like fibreglass when they break up
I was always copping it in Melbourne and then when I went on holiday in Aix-en-Province they had the same trees and it was the right time ,horrible

So definitely the female part of the tree that is the problem not the male

Sounds like a ghastly nightmare.

I hope you have fully recovered somewhat.

Thanks for your heart felt concern
Moving out of Melbourne helped
Beautiful trees horrible seeds

She'd end up getting jazzed with scissors by her classmates.

Even with her winning personality, I doubt she'd survive past morning tea.

That's the hoisted by her own petard I was talking about. Two wrongs don't make a right though.

a) from the pictures and clips I’ve seen, that doesn’t sound true. I may have to grit my teeth and watch the thing.
b) shoot the messenger? Ad hom? “Gilette is bad therefore the message is bad”

Bring a bucket too.
