Dennis Redmond vituperates about "Neanderthal thinking in all its glory"

Imagine the gall and temerity of asking the men to get off their ass and
help out with raising the kids and doing the dishes! 

Well that wasn't the issue.  A number of the men there were involved in
relationships with kids.  And they also had fulltime jobs.  And they were
washing dishes, cleaning nappies and so forth.  They were on the whole a
lot brighter than Dennis Redmond with his radical chic and moral effluvium.
They came to a meeting to discuss their political work, not to be subjected
to moral lectures about politically correct behaviour by feminists.

Dennis says:

It all leads quite naturally to the logical conclusion: these rentier
radicals then hire an au pair sub-prole, instead of changing the diapers
themselves. 

It was a very practical solution actually, it solved the arguments, and it
worked well.  Actually, none of us were "rentiers" and many of us were
poor.

There is to my knowledge no specifically Marxist pornography, and
pornography is on the whole rather boring, I find.  The leather scene in
Amsterdam ? I don't know much about it apart from visiting the SM shop once
around the corner from where I live and owning a leather jacket.  Hashish ?
 I don't take it hardly at all.  I don't get stoned very much at all
really.  I have some weed in the house but I haven't touched it for yonks.

Cheers
