    You see, those ads were meant to be "provocative" and "hard-hitting" ways to bring about "culture change"

    In my house, the only culture they changed was to one of changing the channel any time anything to do with ALAC comes on, and pretty much ignoring everything it has to say.

    I'm pretty sure my friends are sick of hearing me say "yeah, according to ALAC I'm probably a problem drinker, but according to ALAC I'm also a dirty slapper who deserves to get dragged down a dark alley and raped, so what can you do?"

    but I do really question why women are dressing in ways that are ideally suited to appeal to the male sexual gaze.

    Because that's what is currently "fashionable"? And hence what is being sold in shops - especially cheaper shops like Glassons, or Supre, or as I like to call the latter "hooker wear for 12 year olds.

    I recommend a scientific study. Go out three times. Once in the sluttiest outfit you can find, once in a set of track pants and a third time in formal business. Count the number of times you are hit on in each outfit.

    Yeah, because when I go out to have fun with my friends, maybe dance a little, have a couple (!) of glasses of wine, and generally be silly, what I really want to be wearing is trackies and/or a suit. Cos that's really going to make me feel like partying.

    Though, as Danielle said, clearly I only have a couple of glasses of wine, because any more, and something bad might happen to me and it would be my own fault.

    A couple of years ago, I was in the ferry terminal in Wellington, at 6am, wearing jeans, a hoodie and sneakers, and 4 disgusting old men had a very loud (audible to me and several other passengers) conversation regarding my 'assets'. What annoyed me more than anything else, was that I was too intimidated to walk over and tell them to ^%$# off.

  • Field Theory: The Real Deal,

    I have a question. Has any union other than the 5 current ones expressed an interest in being a S14 franchise? Just wondering.

    I did not realise this:

    ...the loss plummeted [Australia] from first to fourth in the world test rankings behind South Africa, Sri Lanka and India.

    Awesome.

  • Field Theory: The Real Deal,

    Winning may be all that's necessary, but a coach needs to be judged on relative performance.

    How's 5-1 for relative performance?

  • Field Theory: This one has rugby in it,

    Just suppose Richie McCaw and Dan Carter got together - how many kiwis would still object to them adopting?

    I would've thought Megan or Emma would've commented on this by now. Oh and I would object for the same reasons I objected to Madonna's African baby party.

    Sorry, I couldn't comment. My head exploded.

  • Up Front: The Up Front Guide to Parenting,

    Now I giggle all the damn time, because like Danielle I am twelve.

    I see your acronyms and raise you having to have serious conversations about lamb and/or mutton flaps.

  • Field Theory: Those Jamaican Yams,

    The problem with the 4x100m is that he has to rely on three other sprinters to get a record.

    Well, yeah. Plus there's this

    5 Races (Including Beijing), 5 golds, 5 world records.

    Plus, he has another chance in the 4x100 relay over the weekend.

    (Also, Hi Simon!)
