What made me much more aware of Snappy's vulnerability was when she said this:<br />"<i>What if the reason more women don't join the bar is that they just don't like adversarial, high-pressure work ? What if lots of women see the bar as a Dickensian breeding ground for unsociable hours and work habits ?</i>"<br /><br />Oh, such a cris de coeur from such a tortured soul which would surely explain her unconditional retreat from any sort of real public life - ie from the bar and from academia - and into the welcoming oblivion of Wingnut Welfare.<br /><br />But it was when she went on to say:<br />"<i>Maybe they realise that too many unhappy loners inhabit this world because it suits their personality</i>."<br />that she really gave the game away. How alone and lonely she must have felt amongst all those "unhappy loners". How very much better to be happily ensconced in the herpetarium, and loving every minute of the daily KoolAid ceremony.GrueBleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-16396582063513235242018-07-12T02:41:48.247+10:002018-07-12T02:41:48.247+10:00Albrechtsen's Law -- whosoever uses "virt...Albrechtsen's Law -- whosoever uses "virtue-signalling" loses the argument.<br />John Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341782964283178701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-68599239221524855082018-07-11T18:23:33.799+10:002018-07-11T18:23:33.799+10:00Albrechtsen, Kroger and Windschuttle. Sounds like ...Albrechtsen, Kroger and Windschuttle. Sounds like a 100% idiot quota. Seriously, what have any of these people done to commend them to run a meat raffle. <br /><br />I sometimes wonder if people like Snappy are not just exhibiting a bitterness about the choices they have made in the past. After all, they have basically attached themselves to the wrong side of history. When nearly everyone disagrees with you it might just be worth considering that you may be the problem. As Stephen Colbert says "reality has a well-known liberal bias".Befuddledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201490489888639207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-839122980000394572018-07-11T16:17:08.189+10:002018-07-11T16:17:08.189+10:00Well it's always been a mystery to me, but now...Well it's always been a mystery to me, but now, thanks to Dame Snap, I know why women have been almost entirely missing from human history for almost all of the last 4000 years (at least). It wasn't because all of the recruiting and selecting was done by males who all had 100% pro-men anti-women criteria. Oh no, no you silly lieberal, it was because all but a very few women were uninterested, or unable, or both ! Unless it was Kinder, Küche, Kirche, of course. But even then you had to get a male chef if you wanted a really decent meal, and a male priest if you wanted a decent tryst with God.<br /><br />Not our Dame Snap though, oh no. She's never been assisted by anybody ! Got everywhere and everything 100% by her own endeavours only. But then, Snappy was once a practising commercial lawyer, then got a PhD (thank goodness that the 100% pro-male quota had been 'relaxed') and became an academic teacher. So why is she neither of those things now - why is she 100% on the Right Wing Welfare gravy train (involving Kroger's 'impersonal' assistance, of course) ?<br /><br />Let's consider: if a woman with, supposedly, a law PhD is blind, deaf and stupid enough to believe Monckton's total nonsense about United Nations black helicopters taking over the world (amongst swathes of other nonsense she believes), then what kind of a lawyer would she have made ? Oh sure, she'd believe everything her clients told her, but then she'd also believe everything the opposing side told her.<br /><br />Bingo, a recipe for failure leading her first into the supposed easy world of academia, and then when she proved incapable of that, to where she currently resides - in the comforting grasp of Murdochian Right Wing paradise, where sightless and brainless is no handicap.GrueBleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-31425509428598073542018-07-11T14:41:33.862+10:002018-07-11T14:41:33.862+10:00Thank you Dorothy for your hard work putting this ...Thank you Dorothy for your hard work putting this critique of the the right wing half wits.
