So, surely, in the interests of fairness, the girls will be undertaking “masculinity Studies” in order to understand the male sex, correct?

No?

Funny how this “equality” is only one-way.

Let’s see…
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah,blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah…
Report author Dr Michael Flood…FULL STOP!

I dismissed the rest of the quoted piece, and entirely disposed of what I HAD read.

Anything ELSE beginning with “Fe*i*****ng Sez’…” forces me to ignore the rest of a post as well.
Just sayin’…

“They would combat common attitudes among boys such as young women are either ‘good girls or sluts’, the report said.” I suppose that’ll be “good girls, or sex-positive feminists,” then.

“[I]t would help if teachers could ‘make the program fun’, the authors said.” Well, that sounds like a barrel of fun to me.

It’s pretty amazing what you can subject people to these days in the name of stopping violence.

Bosh and nonsense!
The fastest way to fix the problem of violence against women:
Mandatory self defense courses starting in the elementary grades, continuing through all stages of pre-college education culminating in the equivalent of a brown belt level of proficiency as a requirement to graduate from high school.
That way any young girl graduates with a solid skill base in self defense.

You’re exactly right Roxanne. Feminsts complain about a “rape culture”, but don’t realized it is the exact result of the lack of sexual moral values in today’s society. Another thing is that men who become rapists/woman beaters usually grew up without a father. If feminists really want to see an end to rape and abuse, they will encourage boys to adopt traditional Christian values. Of course they are hypocrites who claim to be good conservative of Christian men and end up treating girls like shit, but those guys are doing it in spite of the values they claim, not because of them.

If they want to combat violence against women, it would be far more effective to teach girls some self defense. It’s hard to rape someone after you’ve been punched in the throat.

Victoria has some of the country’s most insane policies. Like booking people for going 1kph over the speed limit.

As if it’s not bad enough that Aussie men are being told “to swear never to commit, never to excuse, and never to remain silent about violence against women” (http://www.whiteribbonday.org.au/). That our shared parenting law (which in short states that judges must begin hearings with an assumption of 50/50 time for both parents) is under review, and feminists are decrying Tony Abbott’s rise to lead the Opposition (he is very vocally Christian, thus abhors abortion), but we also get this bull in Victoria.

What an interesting juxtaposition with the newest post. The “feminists” see no contradiction between their pro-sex ideology (see “Dear Abby”) and rape, although they are intertwined. Once sex is not about morality and emotions, but about physical pleasure, rape is not illogical. After all, why not pressure a woman to give you more? Don’t you both deserve pleasure? Won’t she really like it and have a good time, even though she’s a bit squeamish?

Want to end violence against women? Try telling all young children that sex is special, that having it in the wrong situations leads to heart break (at best), and that “persuading” a woman is deeply wrong because the action is so very sacred.

fozzy,

This goes way beyond simple respect. This is social re-engineering, plain and simple.

This isn’t so bad. I had instruction in how to treat women and be respectful. I called the teacher Dad.
