    @jegga I kinda choked on my drink when she started off saying that Saudi culture 'cherishes femininity'.

    And saying that small town NZ doesn't like or value women or girls is so fucking stupid I can't even believe it was written. It does a grave disservice to people like Kate Sheppard and others like her who fought for and won so many equal rights for women no matter where they lived.

    you fucking fluffybunnies. After reading your comments, i had to read it. I am fucking stupider for the experience. What a complete load of absolute drivel. Fuck me...

    Word to the wise bitch, if in your first sentence you use a word nearly everyone has to google, you've fucking failed.

    It's bullshit from start to fucking finish, and i could go on picking holes in each of her "points" but i won't waste my time. Someone tell that sanctimonious fluffybunny to fuck off back to Saudi where there is no such thing as sexism and bullying.

    has the stupid bitch ever read footrot flats? The three strongest, most capable characters in it are Aunt Dolly, Cheeky, and Cooch's cousin Kathy. You could probably put Jess in there as well.

    Anyone know the the angle with the likes of these articles ? Is it a case of the editor going "ok, write something as bitter, spiteful and resentful as you can and watch the clicks come in"......

    I mean in that regard it serves it's purpose brilliantly, far better than "I loved growing up in ( insert town name here ), such carefree days fishing, swimming, having fun on the farm and marrying my highschool sweetheart who waited until I was sober and there was no one watching before daring to have sex with me...."

    I would like this post 3 times if I could. Hammer and nailhead.

    The Black Lives Matter campain is the same, they do a massive fucking disservice to all the black people that fought for and won the equal rights they enjoy today.

    Bitch bitch moan moan I'm a victim woe is me. What a pathetic excuse for a human being that woman is.

    @MN5 It is pure clickbait. you can't call it debate or discussion, because the woman is clearly shedding herself of baggage she has carried for a long time, and isn't the slightest bit interested in acknowledging any positives.

    I'm not saying she didn't have some bad experiences, but to say this is small town NZ is a crock of festering shit.

    Reading some of that dribble, if she had bad experiences, she brought them on herself. I don't think I'm going far out on the limb to suggest those who have been exposed to her personality would call her a thunder fluffybunny.

    Remember those red necks in Carterton that voted in the worlds first transgender mayor? Backward fucking country hicks.

    Anyway it's obvious click bait and it sounds like she was the only chick that didn't score at the orgy and she's been pissed off about it ever since .

    Someone put her in touch with Stephen Jones, they can form a "I hate New Zealand" support group.

    Thinking about it how ugly would a chick have to be not to get laid at an orgy? I would chuck her name into google images but I'm worried about what I'll find

    That statement is partially true, it all depends on how much @mariner4life had to drink before putting on the moves.

    In a way you're right I suppose many a Lena Dunham has turned into Catherine Zeta Jones over the course of an evening due to a combination of alcohol and desperation .
    So yeah , I'm right behind the sisterhood on this one.

    Still not googling her name though.

    I'm somewhat surprised TSF has been dragnetted by this article.

    Ok, here we go ...

    I applaud stuff nation for doing these articles. And many of the responses above really do justify it. Of course, I don't agree 100% with everything that is said in them, but there certainly are themes which are accurate, elements of them which cut close to the bone and I'm sure there are experiences that most people can relate to.

    At some point in life, everybody should sit back and look at things from the opposite point of view to see where they are coming from. In my opinion, that is what is being done here. I'd still argue to this day with my wife that we should bring up our children in NZ, but then I read articles like this, and think the rose tinted glasses may be on.

    Bullying at my school was endemic. I'm not big, was quite smart (was!), and didn't think life revolved around surfing and smoking dope. Thus, I was a natural target for many - I don't know how many times I was told I was gonna get a hiding, or get it on the way home. I had days I was scared to go to school. I probably only really got "it" maybe 3 times, but it still happened. And you know what ... I think there was probably at least 100 kids at my school of 7-800 who had it worse. Hell, under the natural pecking order of bullying, I was even the perpetrator at times. Doesn't matter how you look at it, that's just fucked up.

    But these stories aren't about me. My story is nothing compared to others. Somebody very close to me had a full mental breakdown at 33 years old. The therapy, social workers etc all traced it back to being bullied at school and upbringing.

    So, I suggest, and I fully expect to get ridiculed for this, that perhaps people should just read them and have a think. It's not about your experience. As lets face it, most of you are the rough, tough, big, strong rugby players that are being referenced. I'm not saying that they shoudn't be criticized (getting into a cold bed ... FFS!), but I do think it's a good, worthy series from stuff, which may help open up some peoples eyes.

    Clouds Completely Ruin Child’s Day

    --Stuff--

    Cloud cover has completely ruined a young child’s day in New Zealand. The offending nimbulus particulus
    have been photographed below, encroaching en masse upon what should be an idyllic view.

    alt text
    “The mountains too, Mummy. They are completely blocking my view of the horizon. MAKE IT STOP
    MUMMY I FUCKING HATE THEM.”

    The clouds, sickeningly, appear to be unanswerable to anyone. Calls to the Meteorological Service by “Stuff”
    interns were met with what can only be described as “terse” responses.

    alt text
    “Mummy, they’re here too. Take me home immediately, Mummy. Mummy, do they have clouds in Saudi
    Arabia? I want to go to there NOW, Mummy.”

    @Bones can you please translate this guys name when you get a sec ?
