  4.  @Pwecko  That's exactly right, feminists never recognised the cottage industries of housewives. I remember growing vegetables and keeping hens for eggs. Other women did dressmaking. But we traded skills and produce, and as you say we paid no tax. I lived through the period. My mother was very taken by women's liberation. And that first generation of married mothers got huge advantages by working. They doubled the family income, at a time when one income was sufficient. The trouble was they ruined it for the generations to come. By both working it became impossible for families on one income to buy a house. I know it's a little different in Britain, but in Australia couples are expected to buy a house before they have children. And making housing more expensive meant less kids were born. By the 90s most married mothers were working and the government and their building industry mates had squeezed all the blood out of Australians. They drastically increased immigration, because ofcourse immigrants also buy or rent houses. The census before last showed that half of the people living in Australia, including newborns, were born in another country or their parents were. And we compete for housing not just with them, but with wealthy foreign investors who buy houses in the same way they would invest in shares. I know Britain also has immigration problems. When you follow the money in housing you'll discover why.

  6. Often the reason for euthanising a pet is ultimately that you can't afford further treatment. And that gets applied to humans as well. It becomes a cheaper option for the government than treatment.

  7. In the 1960s in Australia feminists delighted in invading men's spaces, as these spaces did not ussually have female toilets, it included invading men's toilets. This was all fun and games. This is also the ERA women adopted men's clothing enmass. So in some ways it's gone full circle.

  8.  @richardbemelen7287  The reason assimilation was better then is partly due to technology. Today every immigrant arrives with a mobile phone and the internet enables people to remain immersed in their own culture.

  11.  @EvidensInsania  I don't actually have any convict ancestors lol. I used to think I could live in Britain, New Zealand or Canada as we share a culture. But every country in the Anglosphere has made the same mistake. My husband is English and came here as a teen, so technically our daughter is a British citizen, but there are many hoops to jump. I know British people trying to emigrate to Australia who find it virtually impossible as well. And yet if you are from China, or India it appears to be very easy. I don't think our governments want immigrants of similar cultures. They want the people tribalised.

  13. Euthanasia is designed to be a slippery slope. Let it into your law for any cases and you will have it for all. In my country we saw what happened when SSM became law, it went from claiming it was only about love, to the sexualisation and the transitioning of children as soon as it became legal.

  14. I'm Australian Gen X and I was raised By a feminist. I rejected it, because I could see it's effects on children, like me. I totally rejected it. I left home at 16, married at 17 and had my first child at 19. I went to university at thirty. I had a brief career working from home, before becoming a grandmother at 45.

  18.  @ironmind258  Actually the ABC did crow a while about how wonderful it was. But there was no discussion. And if you are a newborn with one grandparent born in the country that only takes you back fifty years. No where near federation.

  19. Slavery was outlawed in my country by the British two years before they even settled here. So I have nothing to be guilty about.

  20. The British outlawed slavery in Australia in 1786, two years before we were settled in 1788.

  21. In Australia our Labor Prime Minister has been bringing in 2000 a week for months. Plenty of vote winners

  22. When I first heard about the grooming gangs in Australia I expected to see huge protests, even riots in the UK. But if these things happened, I never heard about them.

  23. We both know why

  24.  @Sausages-y3s  Yep I'm Australian and we've just had an election. Democracy is a joke.

  25. Won't happen. They speak like this before elections. But the LNP isn't much better. And I've given up on PHON or other small parties getting any power.

  26.  @Westyrulz  So did mine about Whitlam, despite being true and polite. But we currently have a Labor government controlling communication.

  28. As an Australian I feel the cultures of British people and the former anglosphere colonies of Britain are so similar it doesn't require a period of assimilation, though sometimes an adaptation to climate LoL. I never resent British, Canadian or even US immigrants to my country. But for decades our government (of either major party) targets immigration from cultures unlikely to assimilate for several generations. It's almost like they want to destroy social cohesion and atomise us from forming strong communities anymore. Especially in cities. A few years ago a YouTuber pointed out a reading from the Bible I'd never heard as a child at the church of England. Apparently God outlawed a person from another culture becoming a citizen until the third generation of that family came of age. It struck me that this was a correct way to assess assimilation of very different cultures.

  31. I hear you from Australia. I moved to a rural town a few years ago and when I first arrived I started going to the Anglican services. I used to bring my King James Bible with me to read the readings silently. I was asked not to do so as this offended the LGBT community. This completely misses the point. They think it will make them more popular with young people, but they seek the truth not conformacy. Instead of this attempt at popularity I think they should have a late quick service, (nobody wants to get up early on a day of work) followed by a shared meal. I think this would attract people of all ages. I have spent months at a time in the UK and I do find it is less child friendly than here. Are you Australian too, it is an Australian spider.

  32. Keep your churches and pubs full, and insist on Christian instruction in your schools. It works in my Australian town.

  33.  @joerobinson1672  In Australia they've realised that the cities just can't take more people. We actually have more immigration per capita than you guys. Now the official policy is immigrants for the regions (rural) areas.

  35. In Australia I have linked the women's liberation in the 60s and 70s to mass immigration. Married women going out to work in the 70s - * Trippled the tax base, mum, dad and the babysitter. * Suppressed wages without decreasing consumerism * Doubled the value of housing. Government and the rich and powerful could only do it once however. But in the 1990s they discovered they could replicate it with mass immigration.

  36. In the 1970s in Australia my father, a factory worker bought a three bedroom house, supported a wife and three kids. We had two cars, and two holidays a year in a caravan.

  38. Exactly. Remember when refugee camps where in far away places and we just sent food etc. Why is it refugees need to come to Our countries.

  39.  @allseeingotto2912  They invaded France in the 800s, I think, and I think it was Martel who organised the French to drive them out. I came across Italy reading a biography on William the conqueror. Before taking England his Norman Knights were desperate for lands. The coastal areas of Italy had been taken. And Norman Knights removed them to win land for themselves. And then there are Barbary pirates. They ruled the Mediterranean throughout the 1600s. Even in the 19th century they were taking slaves from the British coast. As late as the 1870s British travellers saw British women in the slave markets of Algiers.

  40. ​ @KemetledAfrica And having recognised that harm, can't we do better now? If not you celebrate what happened in the Americas, NZ and Australia and you would do it all the same again.

  41.  @gumnut6922  I know it's beyond ridiculous. The thread probably says what I tried to say. Let's just say the rate of crime rose exponentially, with a huge increase in violent crime.

  43. No fault divorce has been a dreadful mistake, it harms men, especially men who are the father's of young children. Fortunately not me, but it also harms middle aged women. A man can use joint assets to attract a younger replacement. If the young woman falls pregnant the wife will be taken to the cleaners and the adult children largely disinherited. In Australia there is an ethnicity of women famous for doing this. We need to end no fault divorce, and return to the previous system. In the meantime I advise people to return to contract law in marriage. Both parties signing a contract on how things should be settled in the case of divorce.

  44. ​ @fenlander7114 That was much later. Italians etc was more in the 1960s. Early post war was at first British and then extended to western Europe.

  45.  @harixav  Historically there was debate among artists and Protestant theologians, especially centred in the Netherlands in the 1600s, about whether Jesus should be depicted as blond haired and blue eyed, or as having darker eyes and hair, and more olive skin. Jesus probably also knew Hebrew, as Jesus is portrayed as literate in religion, and Greek, as Greek was the official language of the region at that time. The Bible describes Jesus communicating to Romans in first person, which would require knowledge of Greek and possibly Latin as well. The earliest forms of the gospels are in Greek and Coptic.
