Comments on: The progressive, liberal, “most feminist” government is holding a Girls Only Competition. And it’s all in pink.

Under an ‘inclusive’ government it should be illegal but…

Whatever Labour says/does, has to be taken as the exact opposite. So the opposite of ‘inclusive’ is ‘exclusive’ and therefore ‘illegal’ becomes ‘legal’.

“not going to try and raise yet another generation of female idiots”? Did you by any chance come across the 2013 election results . . males as well, I think.

It is easy to SAY you are ‘progressive’, ‘liberal’ or ‘feminist’ – acting like you really ARE is a tad more difficult! Of course, the fact that most people believe their ears and ignore every other sense helps with the deception. After all most of the things which were being criticized heavily in the media are now fine and dandy. Did anything change besides the harping in the media?

So if they are feminist, then they are. Just like they gave great educational opportunities for girls in the 1970s. Remember the golden years?

In reply to ciccio. Sounds condescending to me.

I’m not sure it’s legal to have a competition which excludes people because of their gender.

Surely, the government has better things to do than organize a bluntly feminist girls-only competition – just to be different.

This is nothing but another typically mediocre MITA initiative organised by silly staff who think they know better and pose at every occasion as ‘education experts’.

From what Alexander Ball said above, I believe that he interprets the obvious too.

[Daphne – Actually, the fact that it is only for girls, along with that subject matter and the pink frills, makes it the opposite of feminist. Which is the point of my post.]

Totalitarian states often try to control and ration education to their chosen elite. So this government might actually be aiming at having another generation of idiots. And as recent decisions of the people have shown, it will have plenty of raw material to work upon.

Mhux talli dawn ii-bniet Maltin iridu jixxierku ma’ studenti bniet ohra ghal-kompetizzjon fuq suggetti tradizzjonalment tal-bniet, imma mid-dehra l-anqas b’ilsien art twelidom ma jistghu jiktbu l-istejjer taghhom.

L-ewwel klassi ta’ studenti mhaltin f’Penbroke li huma ta’ din l-eta ma jistghux jiehdu sehem skond ir-regolamenti. Dawn jafu x’inhuma jghamlu?

Kieku Joseph jkun jaf b’din it-tabxa li dahlet il-MITA fiha , ara kif jonfor u jisbel waqt li jghajjat “Watt di hekk!”

When I was 12, my main interests were history books and sports. My (girl) friends and I played basketball against the local boys, and we had no clue that such a thing as ‘fashion’ existed.

“we will help you to use very simple technology”.

Sounds like something erotic.
