Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
Good post, Zoe!
ReplyDeleteSadly, those are just words. Usually written by one person and re-read by another, the meanings don't line up. They are intended to be read by the masses, ie, they're just pablum, what the masses want to hear.
I've heard similar words designed to make me feel I was molested as a very young boy, yet I was very willing to be a "girl" for my "molester" which led to sex. The whole thing (a circus really played out in a court of law) was as if I had no choice! I certainly had no voice in the matter!
That sex (ours) was seen by this polite society as wrong, it was homo-sex not "honest" straight sex! I did it simply because I wanted to be an honest girl. I was not molested but I did become an active girl!
Again, good post, Zoe.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Republicans actually started taking those ideals seriously. This was followed by a decade of stagflation.
