[Deleted ] Mate, you’ll have to do better than that. A Blogspot blog “proving” that women are all liars, even though you admit he’s a fruitcake? Please fuck off. Thanks, CIB admin

It seemed to have come shuddering to a halt with with Observa happily chattering away to himself posting news ltd links. He’s very safe when doing that all on his own.

But yonder, is that Greenfield over the ridge? What pith doth he bring forth?

The train wreck has life in it yet!

Um so, TTOD just went and got a little LESS classy. Yeah, I didn’t see that coming either.

[...] Blogger on the Cast Iron Balconey takes a look at a Club Troppo thread of doom and finds gosh, men can’t seem to discuss an innocent little qualitative study on rape without getting awfully defensive and pompous. 2 B Sophora finds a convenient naivety in the advice given to women experiencing domestic violence “just to leave”. And The Hand Mirror niftily summarises the proposals being considered in New Zealand for improving sexual violence legislation, [...]

Melaleuca, after that thread, I have zero interest in what you think about anything. So don’t bother addressing further comments to me.

Oh, and I should add for balance, lest I be accused of being a hata of teh wimminz, the point that carpet-biters such as m’self are also not immune from relationship violence.

Steve, I think I and others have made it pretty clear what we find wrong with Nick’s account of the report, and I’m not going to spend my Sunday night re-hashing it. If you have nothing better to do, you may do so on your own blog.

“He doesn’t appear to have noticed that hatin’ on teh wimminz is a default position. ”

Such a sophisticated and disinterested reading of that thread, Kim.

For someone who likes to come the raw prawn about red herrings, you sure do dish them up.

But I’m intrigued why no-one has bothered to address Helen’s obviously erroneous criticism of Gruen. She says:

“But Nick was much more troubled by the fact that it’s a qualitative, not quantiative, report – not many lovely statistics”

Um, no. Here’s what he said re the qualitative nature of the study:

“No problem with a report about the nature of women’s experiences. With qualitative research. (In that context) I have no problem with the poem. I have a problem with the way in which a qualitative exploration of women’s experiences is an excuse for rattling off a pretty much random bunch of slogans – so much so that the slogans don’t even match the occasion.”
