Erasing women
There is a looming referendum here.
There are two questions that require a yes or no vote to change the constitution.
As far as I understand it the first question is whether or not a reference to “women” is removed. I see no logic here whatsoever except a pandering to the politically correct who want “equality of gender” or some such crap. There is a reference to “women in the home” which apparently is interpreted to mean that a woman’s place is in the home which is patent bollocks.
In all my years I have never heard of a court case involving this concept so why the fuck have a referendum on it except, as I say, to promote “inclusiveness” and pander to the woke mob.?
The second question refers at one point to “marriage”. They want that replaced with “a durable relationship” whatever the blind fuck that is. I have heard many arguments on this particular reference and not one of them can define what a “durable relationship” actually is.
All the politicians are urging us to vote “yes” to accept both changes which in my book is sufficient reason to vote “no”.
Except that I’m not going to bother my arse.
They can sort it out without me.
But surely, if you think it’s all bollocks (which it is), then you should vote ‘No’ for ‘No change’ – that way you’re slowing down the bonkers rush to irrelevant wokeness.
If you abstain, they interpret that as ‘couldn’t care either way’, so they’ll do it anyway. And how soon you’re on the slippery slope to making it compulsory to be gay/green/vegan. . . . . But if that’s what you want . . .
That is indeed a fair point. Having given mature reflection I may well vote. If nothing else, it’s a grand excuse for another visit to the coffee shop.
I have just been reading up on the arguments. I’m none the wiser but now have a splitting headache.
“marriage”. They want that replaced with “a durable relationship”
Thats the best they can come up with? I had a durable relationship with my mother and a couple of girl cousins.
All have passed on, so am I a widower, a bigamist or just that weird guy down the block?
I have had a number of durable relationships with cats. Does that make me liable to arrest? As above please make the effort to vote as it could make a difference. Even if “No” wins the bastard politicians will find some way to turn it around to their favour, all they have to do is look towards Brussels.
My durable relationship with Penny is a lot longer than a hell of a lot of marriages…..
This also means that a number of ‘Divorce Lawyers’ will need to become ‘Durable Relationship Lawyers’. The printers of business cards and sign painters of office doors will be busy for a time.
An Unendurable Relationship Lawyer?
That is a Possibility.
This could get expensive. Those folks that do the lettering on the doors get paid by the letter don’t they?
