Thank you, Debbie

Thank you Debbie,

I commend you for always showing initiative when needed. Its people like you that in fact inspire me.

I would like to however again urge all the members on this list to PLEASE focus your frustrations towards ACTION. I am a big believer that healing comes from a decision to stand up and be active. Venting can only achieve so much. We need to challenge the thinking of those who have an influence on our destiny, and the destiny of our children.

Psychologists are a case in point.

All I am asking in this instance is for members to put their hand up and contact the APS and complain about the disgusting sexism promoted by their Communications Manager. I find this even more offensive when this person seems extremely sensitive to implied RACISM, but totally insensitive to her own hypocritical SEXISM.

We have 4050 members on this list. I am sure we can get plenty more members to simply make a phonecall and lodge a complaint.

If you are reading my email, it means you have the time to do this. It will only take 5 minutes at the most.

For every person who will state their committment to ONE ACT PER DAY, I am sure many more will be inspired to follow suite.

So, who's next?

All it takes is a phonecall, and a polite request for an explanation for the hyprocrisy, and a retraction and an apology. If the Communication Manager shows resistance, then please ask for her email and we can send her volumes and volmes of data highlighting the equal perpetration of abuse by women towards men and children. We have credible data should they decide to challenge us.
