Damien you are sooo going to get lynched (again?)
d., you do know how small this town is, don't you?

What a terribly confusing and risky position for young men to be in.
meh.
just lift the taboo on masturbation. girls thinking that it's "grubby" is counter-productive.
all that energy has to go somewhere.

however, a friend of mine who used to teach in women's studies put "choice" into perspective. she related "choice" to the practice of suttee
choice is one of those chimera western society loves to bang on about (no offence intended emma). the thing is though, we're always constrained in our choices by social norms/values/morality/expectations and other types of hassles.
so you could argue that women or men have all kinds of choices, but that argument always overlooks that the range of choices is extremely limited. usually we're given the impression of freedom of choice, but in fact... you have to get that boob-job in order to be sexy, or, you have to have a big car to be masculine, or, if you choose to remain childless you are 'sad'.

people we're still moving forward. Heck, we've seen the complete transformation of centuries of gender oppression in just 40 years, hands up who thought it was going to be that easy? :)
sure, but could i see some responses to a test?
when rudd is outed as having been to a strip club, he get blokey back slaps.
what would happen to a female mp who was outed as a former stripper?
my gut tells me that those 40 years of apparent progress in gender equality would evaporate. does that mean that all this "empowerment" is so much hot air?

Che, said mistake was spotted and corrected well before you posted your comment :)
no worries. it was primarily an opportunity to describe myself as a pendant again.
otherwise, this is che keeping mouth shut and listening to teh PASystem fem-blogerati discuss gender equality.

bro. demi moore was in striptease.

if mr brown is even half as funny as justin from skykiwi, he'll bring the house down.

And what exactly was the strategic value for Australia being in Iraq? Self defense? The only possible rationale was to ingratiate themselves with the US
they did also have a fairly substantial interest in wheat exports to the country too though... in the immortal words of baron howard harkonnen, "the wheat must flow."
and, if anyone is numbers-minded, this site shows you how much of a snowball's chance in hell the liberals have of being elected.
bar an act of god.
conservative prayers are currently aimed at a shipload of refugees to torment.
