If I canât make a panel on my own merit, I donât want to be there. I do not believe in feminism as it is sold to the public. I believe true equality comes from earning your way, not to âbalance the booksâ so to speak.
I hate the fact that men feel that dealing with women can be a mine field, although I accept that in some cases this can be the case. Conversely, as with men not all bring elders, not all women are a mind field.
Not all people who make ignorant, careless or uninformed comments are racist, bigots of phobics.
Not all men are misogynistic and not all women are emotional basket cases.
It is my opinion that the whole world, and this community included, needs to take a chill pill and either agree to disagree, ignore behaviour that doesnât fit the values and beliefs, (yes it is possible to scroll on without commenting!) hear others opinions with curiosity rather than âprepare for rebuttal or attackâ, be quick to apologise when we are wrong, not readily compare others behaviour to traits of the cult, and realise that just like other people, we have faults.
We all make mistakes and none of us like being called names. Perhaps there is merit in the saying âtreat others the way you would like to be treatedâ.
Now let me get off my soap box and go and find my pitch fork đ
