Whatever happened to . . .

The right to say what you think?

Marty Sheargold reckons the Matilda's look like Year Ten girls. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. But why can't he say it?

Well, it is official. You cannot make jokes about stuff that makes people cry. And this is why so many people have left main stream media to go to smaller outlets or to go independent

Whether we agree with Marty Sheargold or not is irrelevant. We ought to stand up for his right to express a view.

This is really interesting and well worth a discussion.

Why did Marty Sheargold not play his white male privilege card?

Heaps of female commentators are critical of male football players for being thuggish, juvenile, crass etc but does anyone get outraged? Do they get booted from their jobs? Why not?

Or is it that it is not "white males" with privilege at all?
