Muse: Cheese-Eating Surrender…, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
I've been going to the same guy for 20 years or thereabouts. His aim was for complete maintenance, and he always looked for ways of keeping the costs down. In fact, his (and his partners') practice attracted whole Qantas flight crews, who would make appointments for their stopovers in Auckland because the prices were better than Oz, and the treatment was superb. Art form, definitely. So, yes, that price for what I need doing is probably quite realistic and justified. It'll just make my eyes water, that's all.

Surely we're on to the reds by now!

sorry little emotional over some of this
But thanks for posting it though.

three grand of dental work in the very near future
Moi, aussi. $4,500. Lucky us, eh?
I worked with Frank on radio, and years ago, when we were both very young things, I met him in London. I don't think he remembered the London meeting - well, just thinking about what I was like then, what could he have remembered? He was trying to get away from the Niuzillun thing anyway.
Definitely a crusty old bugger last time I saw him. I guess he must have been suffering.

Certainly not as Greer would describe feminism.
Well, Bart, I suspect Germaine would not have described me as feminist either, back in the day. Because to be frank, I never gave things like equality of the sexes a thought. I had three brothers, and I took no shit from any of them.
I'm not sure I would be described even now as feminist either. In the end the label doesn't really matter. Beauty is as beauty does.

Another way of putting it is that in order to be a feminist you have to identify as a woman first, and I don't.
Why identify ? Isn't it that you recognize equal value, equal importance in the grand scheme of things?
ETA: @Bart "As a result I see feminists pushing for what is obviously an imbalanced position (but the opposite to what exists now). "
If it gets out of balance, it ain't feminism in my book! -
Up Front: Say When, in reply to Paul Williams,
Conceptually and practically I consider men and women equal, how does my gender matter?
Exactly.

Up Front: Say When, in reply to Danielle,
because he doesn’t believe that a dude can *be* a feminist, only a feminist ally
Mm. Thought so.
Years and years ago, I thought the same - that only women could be feminists. But supporting feminism, if you like, is being feminist. -
Up Front: Say When, in reply to Danielle,
(Sorry Bart, not picking on you, but I am slightly frustrated by this oft-repeated statement, because I think the entire leftist world should be explicitly feminist. :) )
I was surprised at Bart's response though, and wondered how many men think only women can be feminists. Benefit of the doubt says at least three male posters here support feminism, but wouldn't describe themselves as feminists. Am I right?
