Sexism: the funny kind of prejudice

Damn mail stereotypes. Like how they all hate dogs and go on killing sprees.

In seriousness, I get what you're saying. Sexism is generally treated as "funny" on both sides, females laughing at the male stereotypes and males laughing at the female ones. I don't think there's any harm in either as long as it's in good fun and no one's feelings are hurt, but you have to be careful not to tread on the ground that crosses the line.

but you have to be careful not to tread on the ground that crosses the line.

The line changes with their moods. Wait-did I just cross the line?

I SPY - I thoroughly agree. Thus, for example, in Australia business men having a naked woman dance on a table is a tax-deductible business expense as long as the event is called a "seminar" or "sales conference" - however, despite women being a slight majority of voters and voting being compulsory , child care expenses for working mothers are not tax deductible (as far as I know) and are not even on the national political agenda due to our sexist (as well as racist), reality-denying corporate mainstream media and politicians that are the best corporate money can buy.

Australian women (and women everywhere else) should have zero tolerance for sexism as well as racism - and not just in theory but in practice. Any Australian (US, UK etc) politician who (a) turns a blind eye to horrendous infant deaths in Occupied Iraq and Afghanistan due to Coalition war crimes (1 under-5 year old infant dying every minute) (and they nearly all do turn a blind eye) or who (b) fails to support full tax deductibility for child care expenses of working mothers should be given the flick - women (and men) should ensure that these reality-denying sexists and holocaust-denying, paedocidal racists are resolutely excluded from public life .

And as for corporate-backed female politicians and journalists who do (a) and (b) - words fail, and it would be a grievous insult to sex workers to state the obvious.

We deduct our childcare.

I have been seeing in the Blogs GP much statistical data from Rockefeller funded Institutes that in Marrage Sex and health everything etc is better. It seems to co-incide with the relevation that East Germans have twice as much sex, start much younger, have more partners, are more experimental and are more satisfied then their capitalist counterparts. When the Iron Curtain came down, forty years of division left its mark in many places – including the beds of the German people. At the end of the Second World War, the starting point was the same on both sides of the wall. Germans shared the same culture, the same lifestyle, the same morals, however, four decades on everything has changed. Why? Was it the lack of church and easy availability of divorce and abortion? I think that it is because Capitalism is Sexist by nature and not just the porn industry but floating reproduction on the Stock exchange put a monetary value on sex and thus degrades women for Giving it away for free (Sluts) and selling it (Whores) Is this where I say whach out for merchant bankers under your Bed ?????
