James' steps down from the position of Women's officer, due to complaints he wasn't female.


Sounds like a load of sexist bullshit to me.

They are saying that it's a representative role, and that the representative of females should be female. But the guy was elected... sounds like that's who they want to represent that position...
For once I agree with you in this thread.
has to be more to the story but on face value it seems feminism has gone full ****** at TUU

i also have to say, geez there's some trash on news.com.au - the three promoted articles on the right are 'Tricky trends: Dark berry lips", "David Beckham's son looks like him" and "15 times Giselle ruled the runway"

He says "I'm speechless at the hatred." Haha.

This could be the making of James. He could go from feminist doughboy to normal functioning man with testicles. But I doubt it.

Running for the position was his first mistake (Don't tell me you fell for that Emma Watson bullshit, Jimmy boy!)

But by far his biggest error was kowtowing to a bunch of cackling shrikes baying for his blood, despite him having an iron-clad constitutional and democratic right to ignore them.

Oh James. What will become of you? I hope you find what you're looking for (your nuts).

The headline of this article should be:

"Mincing closet case fails to make girls on campus tingle enough to retain position
."

In other news, I heard on the grapevine the petition signers are willing to re-assess their position if Liam Hemsworth runs for womens officer.

Ah, she said she sees you as a friend, right?
This is the worst thread on Bigfooty a lot of sick puppy woman hating dressed up as sociology - look at Tessers last thread he made it look like liking women and supporting their cause is a sick pathology!

Cultural Marxism has generally invoked a conflict narrative. One could argue that feminism broadly invokes some sort of sexual conflict.

This is generally why I consider MRA's to be feminists they use the same dialectic and engage directly within mainstream feminist discourse. Essentially seeking to shift the idea of equality away from something objective towards something more abstract.

You bandy the term about but you have no idea what it means - what is the canon of "Cultural Marxism" - and don't reproduce the stuff that Rush says in the States about ideological hegemony. The prison notebooks are about 2500 pages long!!!

It's uni politics. He's a young lib. Hijinx has occurred.
Yep it supports my thesis that the Young Liberals have become worse situationists than the Green Left Weekly Crowd. "Hey mate would'nt it be funny if I stood for women's officer" - " That would be hilarious" . I suppose they all come from male only private schools

Given it is a position he was elected to, I'd be questioning the voters.

Without a doubt, probably not for the same reasons you think though.
This thread would at least be respectable without the pages of personal attacks.
The new ugly right thesis about the women's movement disempowering tertiary educated white males is half baked nonsense. It cloaks the old NCC canard that traditional families need the little woman to be at home tending to the kitchen and having kids which ironically is the very thing that feminism was needed to displace

Here's what woud have happened.

Young libs on campus think its a great troll to get bloke elected to women's officer. They make a concerted effort to get the numbers to vote, they probably make some deals with another uni club. They capitalise on the voluntary voting (95% of students don't care), and they now have a young lib women's officer.

You're right, it's half-baked. They also disempower themselves.
Very clever - bravo. You see ideology isn't what you say its how you act. Can one of you just be honest and say you are petrified of not being able to earn enough to keep wifey at home with the kids. It makes you feel less of a man right? Give us honesty not bullshit sociology written by pathological American woman haters who got their degrees out of a Special K box

Strong projection. You're the one advoacting a depature from traditional sex roles, which would seem to suggest the above applies to you.

Next time you cast the reel be careful not to hook your own face.

Your position is irrational. Your motivations are not genuine.
My position that the thread would be much better without pages of personal attacks?
My motivation is wanting a thread that I can follow a conversation without it turning into mush after half a dozen posts (on a good day)?

Touche - more half baked Freudian psycho-babble - can you speak in any other way?. I am not advocating a departure from what is called "traditional' gender roles. They are no long economically viable for the majority of people for starters

All the campaigners on this thread that advocate that feminism disempowers women and men are not being honest with themselves or us. Last time I checked men are by far more highly paid than women, are more represented in the professions and board rooms yet this bullshit lie persists that feminism hurts us poor victimised white middle class blokes - it does not stand a minute of serious scrutiny

The other objection I have to the arguments put in this thread is the hypocricy of the pernicious effect of the slavish devotion to what is called (without any understanding of what it means) "cultural marxism" yet the arguments and resources relied on by the Men's Movement proponents here are materially based on twenty year old arguments made by bitter Seppos like Warren Farrell's ridiculous Myth of Male Power and Herb Goldberg's laugh out loud book The Hazards of Being Male. Yes Yes we mangina, pussy whipped cultural marxists are incapable of original thinking. :drunk:
