Its seems to me that every second thread is about so called feminists or feminism and how anyone involved in it is an awful person.

But the actual meaning of the word Feminism is
"feminism" - the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.

So what is so bad about that? Should women not earn the same as men for doing the same job? Should women not have all the rights men have? In the event of a split should women not get 50% of all the assets acquired during the relationship as they have contributed 50% to the marriage and home? And should they not get to keep the kids with the men of course getting full access as they are the nurturers in the family.

A member of one of these womens groups said she has no problem with the "Juliet" law as it stands,this law is 10 times worse than anything you have mentioned and if feminists have views like her then I have no interest in what they have to say.

It's like this. You have, apparently, recently given up the drink. If that is so, it takes a while to sort your own head out and heal. Until you have done that, you cannot offer any woman a quality relationship.

Alcoholics can stay off drink all their life after giving up.....They are still alcoholics....always will be....Just recovering alcoholics....No such thing as an ex one

sofarsogood74: I think its the exact opposite...Its about NOT bringing the boy to court.



As far as I am aware it means the boy can be charged but the girl cant, something about her being the one that runs the risk of pregnancy.

Spot on.



The young lad 15 was found guilty under the 2006 Romeo And Juliet law... there's nothing Romeo about it... it's really a Juliet law.

Section 5 of the Act states a girl under 17 cannot be guilty of such an offence.

unlaoised: The problem comes in with radicals


The problem isn't with the radicals, it's with the masses who say it's 'just about equality for women'. The radicals push the unjust laws with the "we're just about equality" mob providing the cover.

Clearly I'm not understanding you. Where is the problem with the masses saying that it's just about equality?
