Yeah, but who cares about the environment when you're smashing the patriarchy?

Much easier for them to cheat, too.
I liked the bit about cohabitation being heteronormative, because gay couples don't live together?
Do “they” not sleep in the same beds either?
Might be tangential to the thread topic, but damn if it ain't some hilarious and stupid stuff though

If they are OK with the other having more partners, then it's none of our business is it?
The bit:
“I don’t live with my partner at the moment and we both have such different independent busy lives,” Salmin said.
“We get to have so much of what we had when we were single still in our relationship. But I wonder how much you can actually upkeep that when you do end up living together.
“So much of it is just hetero dynamic patriarch learned behaviours that you might fall into.”
The feminists are deciding not to move in with their boyfriends! And they're on a radio show about relationships - that they host! - talking about their reasons! REEEEE!
It's the "hetero dynamic patriarch" description that gets me laughing. Would love to see the rationale for that. It's particularly funny when the stereotype for moving in with a partner super early is associated with lesbians - i.e. the total opposite of heteronormative.If they are OK with the other having more partners, then it's none of our business is it?

I used to love ringing the radio being a troll (surprisingly), maybe I should come out of retirement!
I wish I’d have recorded some of my calls to Derryn Hinch, geez he’d tee off at ya!
I might be too cynical but I think the chances she actually has a considered rationale for it are quite low. It's usually just banner waving and/or big-noting when people drop these sort of phrases.
Ring up her radio station!
How does that make a difference? Even taking that as the origin of it, the meaning of that language is explicitly saying that it (i.e. moving in with a partner and sharing a room etc) is heteronormative and patriarchal. If anything, that explanation would suggest she doesn't understand what she was saying at all.

Looks like romance is dead eh.
The way it was written, I took the comments as all within the same context. She's talking about maintaining a sense of independence while in a relationship which is completely uncontroversial and actually very sensible. But it's the justification for it that gets off the rails as quite funny because, as I said, it seems like she hasn't actually thought the meaning of what she said through and just just threw it out there as a form of in-group posing or signalling. It's like the opposite form of a dog-whistle, where it's as loud and out there as possible for all to see. Foghorning maybe? I like it. It seems she was foghorning.
Yeah. The modern curse of putting identity before values.
Totally agree it was off topic and unimportant. If the couple of comments about it weren't given such harsh denigrating it probably would have slipped quietly into the night until the next silly thing came along.
Sounds like you need to commission a bot to be scripted
