But has that got more to do with our simmering desire for devolution (wtf happened Wales...?)?
Perhaps large unions breaking up isn't such a bad idea. It would reduce centralised control being ridiculously complicated, unwieldy and removed from the people. It would reduce the super power thing and ability to wage large scale conflict.
Is it possible that something positve could come out of division and the following necessity to negotiate and co-operate?
Are there any comparison studies which identify partisan segregation, or otherwise in other countries and whether there is a correlation with division, or co-operation?
That'll be a functon of sweatshops and possibly child labour.
I once went round all the school uniform outlets in my area and only M&S would talk to me about how they audit to ensure our children aren't wearing uniforms made by children in other countries.
The school my daughter went to didn't allow M&S school uniform items because they were the wrong shape.
I've had people bring me evening gowns to alter that they've bought cheapy off the internet and I could smell the poverty on the item. Sometimes the sewing was so bad it was clear it had been done by a small child.
Having said that, paying a lot of money doesn't necessarily guarantee that clothes have been produced ethically.
Now, which part of the above definition aplies to your behaviour when you come out with these gender stereotypical gems of yours? Having a duty to deal with something, or having control over someone.?
Interestingly, for once you target men as the beasts, and as such, I feel I can take back some control and challenge you directly. If women challenge misogyny, it's all to easy to switch the blame back on to us...
...as if it were we who were being unreasonable and not taking responsibility.
This is one of the ways that discriminatory behaviours become and maintain systemic suppression...
...and oppression...
In that sense, this is an interesting exercise which may be applied to all forms of prejudice which are endemic in our societies. Therein lies the responsibility of us all: the duty to self-evaluation.
