‘Politicians will demand answers from education bosses over what the extreme fundamentalist school is teaching girls – besides how to expertly wash men’s clothes.’
‘…Gloriavale school under fire over sexist curriculum
‘…Girls at Gloriavale are taught domestic chores as part of the curriculum.’
‘…Green MP Catherine Delahunty, who has requested the briefing, and Labour MP Chris Hipkins, hope it will be the forerunner to a Parliamentary probe into the isolated sect’s school…’

When did you ever see a muslim or maori school described in these terms? Of course, you won’t. Because there would be – you know – consequences.
The gutless Christian-bashers have found themselves a soft target, and they’re like mangy dogs with a bone.Never mind poor academic performance, corruption and bullying in maori schools. Never mind segregation and treating women as second-class citizens by muslims. Nossir, we’re supposed to believe the Herald and the leftists are concerned about girls being taught how to cook and do the laundry.
They’re not. The opportunity for some Christian-bashing is just too good to pass up.
Of course, if 100 highly POed Christians showed up at their offices and the offices of their political masters, they’d be rather more circumspect in their critiques. Seems to me the first course of action is organizing such folks into activists.
I agree, K2. I’m not a Christian in the accepted sense of the word but I object bloody strongly the the cowardly selective outrage on the part of those driving this campaign.
Christians need to bite back.
Burn down the offices of Green MP Catherine Delahunty and Labour MP Chris Hipkins. Yep. Then they won’t fuck with you.
FFS!! If these girls leave home and live on their own the lessons in domestic chores will be damned useful. I seem to remember calls for boys to be given lessons in cooking and other chores so they would be better equipped to live on their own.
Ah, but that was in another time, Michael, when commonsense still had some currency.
Gosh, I went to an all-boys school about a million years ago, and part of the curriculum for the “intermediate” (year 7/8) boys included six months of woodwork and six months of “home economics” – cooking and sewing.
Quite surprisingly, I neither starved nor went naked when I moved out of home. Such wanton abuse!
I have to confess, I was a lot better around a stove than I was a band-saw!
Back to the topic, how are young girls supposed to learn to be wives these days? I know boys aren’t allowed to grow into men – which is why so many make absolutely terrible husbands – but why on earth wouldn’t any parent want their little girl to grow into a woman who can manage a household and marry a man who will love, respect and protect her?
Men are no longer expected to “protect” women anymore, at least not in the feminist dogma. To express a natural urge to care for and protect one’s family is a statement of male supremacy and must be decried loudly and viciously by the mindless crowds of femi-nazis.
Oops, sorry. I guess it’s off to re-education camp for me!
the cowardly selective outrage on the part of those driving this campaign.
Exactly.
“When you see women with eight to 10 babies from an early age you wonder whether they have that choice.”
Who the hell is Ms Delahunty referring to here? “Tahupotiki” from Otara with 8 or 10 babies from as many fathers, or the women in the story, who don’t seem to be hanging out for welfare or demanding state houses to accommodate the broods.
Must have been raped at least 10 times, or perhaps aliens are continually abducting and artificially inseminating them.
What feminists mean when they say “didn’t have a choice” is actually “made a shitty choice” or “made a choice we don’t agree with “.
Or they really needed the meth.
