@Cait I agree. I want to see more mothers with babies in arms on roller coasters, in mosh pits and on the Sydney Harbour bridge climb. It's their right!

I think it's reasonable that he asked them to leave. It distracted him and was going to risk disrupting the show for the other 700 people there. 

I think there's going to have to be a lot more investigating before we know what motivated this man to do what he did. Shoppings centres are frequented overwhelmingly by women (70% to 80%) which could explain the disparity. Also important to acknowledge that devastatingly, women and children are less able, on the whole, to defend themselves from a physical attack than men, so if someone wanted to cause as much devastation as possible, then women and children would be a likely target.

@peanutgallery the media is reporting he was suffering from schizophrenia.

@laura__palmer it's fun to complain

Oh great. Another article to promote only fans and Polyamory.

I'm pretty darn sure that exclusion of men is part of the artwork and this lawsuit is really just a logical extension of the art. Let's face it, women would be pissed off if their was a men only exhibition and most likely launch their own lawsuit. 

Savings is a pretty vague term and probably doesn't reflect the true financial situation of these people. Some of them may have a tiny amount in their bank but been maxing out their super or investments.

@snorks agreed. If these people have it just sitting as cash then they need some lessons in finance and investing.

Savage's suggestion that monogamy emerged 60 years ago is absurd. For the most part humans have been monogamous for over a million years. Just because some very wealthy men through history have had multiple wives doesn't disprove that monogamy is by and large the more prominent way relationships are structured. Even in societies where polygamy is legal monogamy is considerably more popular.

I don't really understand the closing statement of this article. I listen to Joe Rogan a lot and he is always happy to admit he's wrong or change his mind. His whole appeal is that he isn't an expert on anything but instead gets guests on with interesting and different perspectives on to give their opinion. 

I'm sure the money is amazing and I hope it's worth it.

@laura__palmer there seems to be this argument that because men commit almost all the murders (and rapes and crime in general) that men don't deserve victimhood status when a crime is committed against them. Just because the victim and perpetrator have the same sex doesn't make the crime or impact any less real for the victim.

69% of murder victims are men. I totally agree that all these women who go murdered is a absolute disgrace but saying that only women carry the mental load of trying not to be murdered is simply untrue.

Ha! Usually it's the man struggling to get dates. You reap what you sow I guess.

Crime of passion is a term that has been used for longer than any of us has been alive to describe a jilted lover committing a murder. The police used the term correctly and the focus on this term and trying to make out it was inappropriate doesn't help the situation.

@snorks by forcing women to do jobs they don't want to do?

I don't think these numbers are surprising or even a cause for concern. Of course the mining industry is going to have a large pay gap, the higher paid roles are going to be out in the mines (harsh conditions and dangerous) where the majority of workers (>90%) are male. Similarly with Qantas, the pilots are going to be paid a lot more than the flight attendants (a lot more training and responsibilities being a pilot). Men are more drawn to being pilots (probably in large part due to men being interested in things and women being more interested in people on average).

Got an error message as well

Who cares???
