SSM Plebiscite

[LP]

Sorry, but I have to call bullshit on aspects of this article by former Carlton Director Kate Jenkins.

I'm not questioning the events, I'm sure the happen regularly, what I'm questioning is that this idea of propositioning an LGBTIA person to attempt a conversion is a "male" thing. The feminist manifesto this takes on in the way the article is directed is offensive.

I've a couple of business / social associates who are gay males. Somewhat stereotypical as it is, they are fastidious and fanatical at looking after themselves and presenting themselves in public. The two blokes turn up to grand final barbecues like it's a Myer fashion shoot, and for their age they look like hybrids of Robert Redford and Harrison Ford. Good luck to them, that is is great and sets a fine standard for everybody else, not that you can keep up with the DINKs and still pay for your child's private schooling.

But make no mistake, they go to a function like a wedding, a public event at a bar or restaurant, a concert or festival, and they are continually propositioned by females, who are often but not always drunk females, wanting to attempt a "conversion."

So I find Kate Jenkins article above completely offensive, because it fundamentally flawed, this isn't a male problem it's a societal problem! And to write that article as some sort of feminist manifesto is hypocritical as a bare minimum, if you want to talk the talk then walk the walk!
