siftbotsays...New Rule: Distinction Deniers has been added as a related post - related requested by newtboy on that post.
C-notesays...The UK's DailyMail posts a story of a female teacher molesting a student almost everyday.
ChaosEnginesays...@newtboy, you do realise you're promoting the Aussie equivalent of Sean Hannity here, right?
Today Tonight is a fucking joke, and I wouldn't insult the concept of journalism by comparing it what to what they do.
I haven't looked into this particular issue, but I wouldn't be surprised to find it's typical right-wing scaremongering.
ChaosEnginesays...Yeah, along with stories about:
- how climate change is a hoax
- why sexual harassment laws mean the end of romance
- how immigrants are stealing your job
- how immigrants are lazy bastards who don't work and take the dole (I presume these are Schrodinger's immigrants?)
- how the youth of today just need a good war to sort them out
First Today Tonight, now the Daily Mail?
Fucking hell, the standards for journalism are falling through the floor.

newtboysays...No, I didn't. Thanks for the heads up.
Youtube suggested it, maybe because I've watched some videos Bob posted?
I actually looked up the show to be sure they were not just some internet flunkie making up bombastic bullshit, because this seemed like it might be...but had no way to know their reputation. Are they known for completely making up crazy inflammatory bullshit like Hannity?
Can you verify this is nonsense, or is this a real sexist Aussie airline policy now under review? If it's all bullshit, I'll gladly kill it. If it's true, but somewhat hyperbolic, I'll retitle to indicate that.

ChaosEnginesays...As far as I know, this is an airline policy and nothing to do with Australian law.
Apparently BA, Qantas, Air NZ and Virgin Australia have the same policy (which, to be clear, is fucking stupid).
Have no idea about the pool stuff.
No, I didn't.

newtboysays...Hmmmm...Wiki says this policy WAS verified by numerous airlines, but most changed it soon after it became public.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_seating_sex_discrimination_controversy
So, this was bombastic, but true, but it's pretty old and no longer correct....so I guess I should *kill it, even though it is a good example of why portraying sexual abuse as a one way street is just plain wrong (not that I'm accusing YOU of that, but some do).
EDIT: I might have killed too soon, I misread Wiki, apparently this policy is still in effect on Quantas and Air New Zealand with no plans to review it, and Virgin is reviewing it but hasn't changed it yet. That's some bullshit right there.
I might repost, but if I do, I'll be sure to site the source as being biased.
