MEDIA WATCH: If Stuff have finished deprogramming men, how about they work on the sisters?
I love STUFF’s current NZ on Air funded attempt to reprogram all men with the gelded Males of Wellington telling us how crap we are and how much we all need to change.
Jaw droopingly there’s even a female columnist explaining to men how shit they are as the introduction.
Could you imagine if that were reversed?
Of course not!
Stuff is the home of, ‘If a woman says it it must be true’ school of Journalism, so if they’ve have finished deprogramming men, how about they work on the sisters?
Alison Mau today takes a great big creamy shit on Magic Talk radio in her column about the roll out of the vaccine…
In November 2020, 54.4 per cent of Australians and 54.2 per cent of UK residents said they would take a vaccine if it was offered that week. By mid-January, big numbers of Britons had dropped their scepticism, with 71 per cent then saying they’d be keen.
Interestingly, in Australia those numbers dropped by 3 per cent in the same time period. This may have something to do with the fact that mass-vaccination is already a reality in Britain (with the first given back in early December) and is yet to begin in Australia.
There is strong and mounting evidence the vaccine is safe, and very little to say it’s not. Being properly informed is crucial here, and it’s a shame some taste-makers with an (apparently) large audience seem not to be.
This is the point where two of the big stories – the Magic Talk talkback crisis, and the vaccination roll-out – crossed paths this week.
…it’s funny that for someone who is so driven by gender journalism that she didn’t in fact note that it is WOMAN in NZ who are showing reluctance to take the vaccine, not men…
Significantly fewer female respondents reported they were willing to be vaccinated with under two-thirds willing (64 per cent) compared to over three-quarters of males (76 per cent).
…sooooooooo, if Stuff has finished with state funded male deprogramming, it would be great if they could have a word with their sisters about taking the vaccination so we can get herd immunity.

Unfortunately we live in a gynocentric and misandric society here in little AO/NZ. The constant man bashing by the media for example Hillary Barry saying live on election night they didnt need to interview Clarke Gayford because he was “just a man” I found particularly rude.
The constant drival pumped out by stuff on how to be a 21st century man. How men and the ‘patriarchy’ are the cause of all women’s woes. Give me a break.
Go online and you will find deep in the reccess of the Internet a ever growing group called the ‘manosphere’ where you will discover many men that are disgruntled and disillusioned with society and the way men are treated.
“…about taking the vaccination so we can get herd immunity.”
Not so bleeding fast Bomber. Don’t know where you’re getting your information from but at the very best experts say…
“There isn’t yet any conclusive evidence that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine can prevent people from being infected with the coronavirus – and therefore halt its spread. But there are some early signs that it might.”
Might, Bomber, “might”.
So in the meantime y’all should perhaps continue with the more challenging preventative measures such as mask wearing, physical distancing and hand washing.
And if you’re not too sure of how best to do that…ask a woman.

“Women are more likely than are men to follow guidelines outlined by medical experts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, new research finds.
In an article published in Behavioral Science & Policy, New York University and Yale University researchers report that women have practiced preventive practices of physical distancing, mask wearing, and maintaining hygiene to a greater degree than men. Women were also more likely to listen to experts and exhibit alarm and anxiety in response to COVID-19.
The findings are consistent with pre-pandemic health-care behaviors, the study’s authors note.”
Bomber Bradbury gives a cowardly misogynist a platform to spout garbage.
Who would have thunk it?
Please Rosemary, go back to your vacuous columns at stuff if you don’t like Bomber’s forum.
You’ve caught yourself in a trap. It’s not enough you are mystified because it’s true that people lie and manipulate. Okay, we know there are problems that you can’t solve and that’s your trap, your failure.
As if vaccines are bad for the continuous existence of organised human life and everything a social construction and life will get back to normal NO!!!. That is not true. I claim life will never get back to normal.
The rules don’t apply to the Stuff sisters, they seem to be rewriting the rules of human decency to suit themselves. Stuff them.
While back a tragedy occurred at Seaton wharf in Wellington. A small boy unable to swim, entered the water, and was rescued by his father, also unable to swim. Rescue services were unable to resuscitate the Samoan gentleman, the father of a family.
At such times some folk will fetch blankets or hot drinks, but one female stood with her phone and recorded the dead man being worked on, to the distress of his family. I gather that she was the editor of the Dom-Post. I gather that a police person suggested that she desist from filming the family’s father dead on the ground, not responding to sustained efforts to bring him back to life again. I gather that a photo of this appeared in the following day’s paper. I no longer purchase the Dom-Post.
Cultural sensitivity isn’t a two-way street, it is a multi-laned highway, but I know of no culture which would not find it distressing to have the father of a family filmed in his death throes or their aftermath, let alone this picture being used to sell a newspaper probably in it’s death throes too. This is an image which his family will carry forever; I think it shocking and offensive and disrespectful and undignified and trashy to use such an intensely private and personal tragedy befalling a local everyday family, to help sell some second-rate provincial paper.
The Stuff girls have a nerve lambasting white pioneering – or other – males, while they themselves appear to me to be behaving like callous modern brutes. That’s how I see it. Had it been my dad, I would have been distraught. Had it been my dad, it may not have occurred.
