Feminist Reasoning

Copyright: Peter Zohrab 2003

We are all judges and jurors in the Court of public opinion, so to speak, but only one side of the case gets stated in Western media and in Western education systems, on Sex War issues. Because of the lack of organized Masculist resistance, Feminists are allowed to get away with all kinds of sophistry.

• Feminists are allowed to plead both sides of an argument in different contexts. They have acquired a Women's Room at Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand), so that women can breast-feed in private -- but one Male Feminist journalist on Radio New Zealand thought it was so obvious that a female Parliamentarian in Australia should be allowed to breast-feed her baby in Parliament's Debating Chamber that he didn't even bother to hide his prejudice from listeners ! The point is that some men might be embarrassed by bare breasts in public, and some men might not -- but it is not up to women to decide by themselves that they need privacy for breast-feeding in one context, but that they should be allowed to breast-feed in public in another context !
• One Law School tutor made a cynical aside to the females in her tutorial about how, in Tort law, pregnant women were not regarded as fully mentally competent. She backed her criticism up by saying that pregnant women were obviously competent to hold down jobs. I pointed out that she could not possibly use the fact that that pregnant women held down jobs in New Zealand as evidence that pregnant women were mentally competent, because it was illegal under Human Rights legislation for an employer to discriminate against pregnant women ! There could be any number of mentally incompetent pregnant women holding down jobs, because the Feminists had got a law passed that made them declared competent !
• In a Parliamentary Select Committee hearing, I mentioned some research that I had come across that showed that pregnant women in fact do not function as well mentally as when they are not pregnant. I was challenged on this point by Labour MP Lianne Dalziell (currently Minister of Immigration and Associate Minister of Justice), so I offered to send her the precise reference. She then said she didn't want to have the reference to the research article ! In other words, she was simply not interested in research results that contradicted her Feminist ideology.
