Oh, so the guy who gave her the bash was a Pom then?

I’m just not sure I get the point. It’s a little like saying water is wet – anyone who looks for themselves can see.
But then again, this looks like it’s aimed at a specific kind of woman, the kind who are not likely to read here.

Next please.

Ari – be careful – you might be engaging in group think there. Failing the condoms there is also a range of oral contraceptives available free to women, which given the amount of money spent on education and the pamphlets available at every chemist and doctor and written in many different languages, means that there should be virtually no reason for a woman to get kncoked up. In Tara’s case she wanted each and every kid – they were attempts to get her partner to stop hitting her. At least that is what I took from her post.

Same issue- if you’re discouraged from using birth control by your family, don’t know where to get it, don’t have the self-confidence, etc… then it’s entirely possible you’ll not be prepared by the time you become sexually active.

The issue with our education around contraception is that it’s primarily aimed at the people who’re already recieving the message, not the ones who really need it.

And yeah, I’m sure you’re right about Tara. I was merely replying to a comment directly.

Like the Brethren were able to do? Talk about witch hunting.

The Brethren could have come out directly whenever they wanted without any more fear of demonisation than any other New Zealander, and I’m sure they would’ve gotten just as fair a hearing as any of the MMP parties get. The problem was they choose to run a paralell campaign with explicit authorisation from the then-National Party leader, with no accountability or transparency. I don’t think Kiwis don’t mind people having their say in an election campaign, but they want big campaigns to be honest about where they come from, who they are, and where they got any money they spent, and they want a reliable way to get in touch with people running campaigns. I don’t think that’s unfair, and I don’t think any of those conditions challenges free speech.

That’s gold mate!!!

“Free speech is about being able to make political comments without fear.”

These headline posts were meant to provoke – why people are surprised there is a backlash is beyond me. Responsible people HATE hearing irresponsible ones whinging about their predicament and seeking “recognition”, “understanding” or “empahy”. How hard is that to grasp.

Don’t condoms work inside state houses?

Only as often as they work elsewhere- which is to say, 99% of the time, if you’ve been given the confidence, information, and means to get them.

I should also point out that as the condom is the only directly male-controlled means of birth control, I wouldn’t be handing responsibility for them over to women quite so quickly if I were you. Sexual agency is something men desperately need to hang on to.

It seems that these feminist witches just cannot handle free speech at all, indeed, it seems that every left wing site will delete anything that does not agree with their fucked up view of the world.

There’s a difference between free speech and insulting and intimidating people with groupthink. Free speech is about being able to make political comments without fear. It’s not about being able to bash whoever you like in a game of ad-hominem.

And they wonder why they were tossed our of power….

That would be the free ones that women can get from Family Planning and other sources.

Just to note – I wasn’t allowed to speak Italian at school either. Maori not being able to speak Maori at school didn’t stop their family talking it at home for the other 18 hours a day. Give me a better excuse please.

And look how they behaved when they grew up – They killed their enemies, then cooked and ate them and decorated their pa with shruken heads!

True or not, it is IMHO a steaming pile of sanctimonious crap. Penned by someone who deems herself pious enough to make ridiculous generalisations and play on a small sample of stereotypes.

Two words: personal responsibility.
Two more: pride, determination.

Two words you do know: victim, pity.
