Last word on Australia

[rogerdoger]

Theres a sort of neanderthalisum about Australian men. Any country that has men that still believe the little woman should make the dinner, do the dishes, clean the clothes, because thats womens work, is going to be a little out of whack. Even though the suffragette movement in Australia was one of the leading movements in the world for womens rights, men here still dont see them as equals. The men in Australia strut around acting tough which often breaks out into violence. You can almost smell the fear in them that causes this. They have been some of the rudest and most dangerous drivers Ive seen in a long time. Often purposely coming close to pushing me off the bike. Today I had some drunk guys yelling at me out of the window of the car a girl was embarrassingly driving, that i should get a real car! Opening a conversation with an Aussie, they are often guarded or try to take a macho stand. The equivalent of Home Depot here is Bunnings and its hilarious..no frustrating how many of the guys that work there try to act all knowledgeable so as to seem like a "real man" who knows tools and building when really they know nothing. All I see here is fear in these men. They are also adopting the American attitude that the rest of the world doesn't like them and so its not safe to travel. I guess Australia didn't exactly get the cream of the crop in the immigration rushes. It was populated with convicts at first. And a criminal isnt the smartest of trades. It seems the apple hasnt fallen far from the tree all these years later Maybe the influx of Indian and Asian immigrants who are doing very well here and love it will either bring up the white trash, or wipe them out.
