The SMH columnist who fretted about young women arriving for dinner in their burqas now argues that Australian boys are being physically, psychologically, and chemically feminised in preparation for an invasion by butch men from developing countries. I think she's serious.
OK, colour me bizarrely impressed that she's managed to get in anti-Labour rhetoric, paranoia about chemicals, paranoia about a nanny state, yellow peril and probably Islamic invasion fears and two separate conspiracy theories in an article which weaves its way from a legitimate concern about activity levels in school playgrounds to an also reasonable concern about what goes into food with almost no connection between any of it.
I love how she conflates being a girl with naturally doing nothing, being static. Because it's not like females ever go through physical changes anyway, right. And eating healthier food with nazism. And gives the vague impression that it's a better ambition to turn your sons into 'AK-47s' then let them be 'feminised', and that toxic chemicals are what feminists like due to revenge mwhahaha...?
I'm not sure, it was also utterly incoherent and I read it a couple of times and decided the author was lacking an editor.

Somewhere in there might have been a half-decent point about the lack of available play areas, but it certainly wasn't obvious.
