Alison Mau - social activist, or attention whore?

[jrandom]

http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/love-sex/6953223/Mau-tells-anti-gays-to-chill-out

Television presenter Ali Mau wants homophobic Kiwis to wake up.

...

The Fair Go presenter came out in 2010 about her relationship with Karleen Edmonds.

Despite being forced to come out before she was ready, Mau said she was sure enough of herself to trust her feelings.

"It was a bit of a surprise, but it's not something I had a deep moral wrestle with. I just thought, 'I am really into this person.' It didn't matter what gender she was."

Riiiight.

Female sexuality is often fluid. Ms Mau was with a man before this partner and may well be with a man again for her next one. If I was a gay man I'd suspect her of taking something intrinsic to my identity, something personal and sacred, and using it as an assumed badge of coolness.

Is Ali M just stroking her ego by identifying herself with a hip social trend? Does her dilettantish dalliance with muff-diving and smug acceptance of the spotlight diminish the struggle for acceptance by genuinely homosexual people who've been persecuted by Western society for hundreds of years?

Is Alan Turing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing) rolling in his grave?

Or is this sort of shallow behaviour by a media personality just an inevitable cost of an open and accepting society, and by far the lesser of two evils?

Should Alison just shut up and show us her tits?

Discuss.

Who is she?

Who is she?

Third-rate generic television presenter.

So she is currently riding a Honda?

Who is she?

She has nice tits, thats all you need to know.

Shit - for a moment there I thought I'd clicked on http://www.womansweekly.co.nz/forums .

She's a bit long in the tooth to get "cool points" for girl on girl

Plus this news is ancient (like her)...why would we care?

It's not ancient, it's on today's Stuff front page. She's popped up for some reason and is waving her arms about claiming some sort of moral high ground.

She should discuss her plight in the styles of The Meaning of Life sex education class.

The only thing that gets me is that homosexuals need to have something in a bill that allows them to be "legally" married and therefore acceptable to society... from the point of view where anyone considering that being married is important needs to have their head read. If they want commitment, they should just have a "wedding" ceremony without the "legal" bit, there really is no difference other than the state recognising the union. Fine if she wants to highlight the plight of homosexualiy and it's social status. Other than that, meh, tits.

Yup, a lot of gay people just get on quietly with life whereas others feel the need to shove it in your face.

yeah whats with that...........and i'm sorry but in my opinion being gay is not normal as Alison quoted in the article.........it's abnormal as far as i see.........not that i give a flying fuck.......as long as both chicks are hot

[Nova.]

Females being lesbian = acceptable
Males being gay = unacceptable

Living with that smug twatface Dallow for so long would turn anyone gay IMHO :)

all the boys are secretly thinking to themselves "Meh, I could turn them back, all I'd need is 1/4 of an hour and some low lights and mood music and that "special" move all the bitchez say they love"

I like Fair Go with her and Gordo. What she gets up to in the sack is her business. though if there were pics, I'd totally look at them

All minority groups that are discriminated against pursue the same thing & fair enough too. Not sure you thought this one through from their perspective. "Just getting on with it" is easy for anyone not closely associated with the plight to say.

Usual media shit with the minority preaching to the majority. Which always makes me laugh when minority groups are telling the majority that the majority have it all wrong......

I have no interest in her bleating - she spent years as a media presenter poking poorly researched shit as fact. Suck it up. Or maybe lick it up would be more apt ...

Exactly, it's no business of the State's at all, and if we're saying the State should recognise gays as married, what business is it of the state to limit the number of people in a marriage to just the two? Let's ditch the prohibition on polygamy as well.

But why are teh gays so all-fired determined to change the meaning of the word "married" all of a sudden? It's easy, innit, the difference between a CU and a "marriage" is that CU couples can't adopt - this is a tactial campaign for gay adoption, because they don't think they can win that argument directly.

Bang on, as the law stands they can't adopt... what marriage has to do with children's welfare I'll never know.

[Winston001]

... what marriage has to do with children's welfare I'll never know.

The bond of marriage goes back into pre-history in virtually every society. The reason is tribes recognised the benefit of the family unit - mother father and child. By giving formal status to that unit, the tribe/group provided social boundaries which protected it. The children benefited by knowing who their parents were, and the fathers could be reasonably confident they were killing mastodons to feed their own progeny.

and then it was in the eyes of god, and then it was for social convention, and then it was to signify commitment, and then it was a law etc.... what was it before the tribes decided what it should be? and the confidence that they were killing to feed their own is absolutely nuts as that's absolutely no guarantee at all really is it. Today marriage means absolutely nothing, to some, but it is used to stop people from doing things that they're not allowed to do because social convention says so. It's ok to have 3 or 4 girlfriends even if they know about each other, but marry more than 1 woman and you face jail. Madness gone mad.

Successful families being the building blocks of society, villages being a group of such families...doesn't seem contradictory to me.

Biological imperatives. If you don't protect your gene pool it evaporates. This operates across all animals.

Some species such as humans cooperate and form communities on the basis of strength in numbers, so contributing to the wider group benefits the individual.

fine in theory, but some of us have problems with one wimminz. I couldnt think of anything worse thant two or more getting on my case at a time.

I suppose I could tell them to go and amuse themselves by tilling my fields or miliking my cows, or raising my children. We are talking about a patriarchy, yes?

[Oakie]

What guys don't get and it took me the experience of two female colleagues going 'the other way' (separately ... a couple of years apart) is that they do it for emotional reasons, not sexual. They don't decide 'I wonder what vagina tastes like' and go find a woman. They come across someone who is a soul-mate and then have to adapt to the physical side. I now know three women work colleagues who have done this. On all occasions they were in existing straight relationships which were not warm or nurturing.

Of course it could just be that after working with me, no other man meets the grade ... or I've put them right off men.

Also..... back in the day when feeding your family frequently meant risking your life, I guess it would be pretty important to know that it was your family you were feeding.

[Edbear]

Lots of generalisations in this thread, and "open-minded" posts.

Not too many seem to be posting about how they personally feel with their own family, though. I've been married near 35years, (Oct.), and have three grown up children and two grandchildren. We are a very close nit family and woe betide anyone who would seek to butt in and suggest we should be more "open" in our relationships.

People tend by nature to be very protective of their families and their family status in the community.

The reason for the way society is today is generally due to peple wanting to be promiscuous which leads to marriage and relationships breaking up, short term relationships which all too often bring children into the world where they have no stability and people becoming blase about moving from one relationship to another either without regard to the long term benefits of a stable marriage or in a forlorn hope of finding that perfect man or woman when their life will be happy ever after.

What a load of shite. For a start she was forced to come out about the relationaship, how does that make her an "attention whore"? And what, just because someone else is in a same sex relationship, she's not allowed to be? You don't own a circumstance....it just is.

Is Ali M just stroking her ego by identifying herself with a hip social trend? Does her dilettantish dalliance with muff-diving and smug acceptance of the spotlight diminish the struggle for acceptance by genuinely homosexual people who've been persecuted by Western society for hundreds of years?

"Smug acceptance of the spotlight"? As above, it was forced on her, you idjit. And because she doesn't go totally radio rental she's "smug"? She's a smart middle aged woman with some good life skills who has handled the whole situation a helluva lot better than 99% of us, and you want to read some crap attitide into it? Fook off mon.

Or is this sort of shallow behaviour by a media personality just an inevitable cost of an open and accepting society, and by far the lesser of two evils?

What is it with people? Can't you have a committed long term relationship....without sex? Most people have many lifelong loving supportive relationships with nothing more than a hug, kiss on the cheek, or a firm handshake (think family, best friends).

As for the homosexual "I was born this way" whine, FFS I hear some sad bastards are sexually aroused by their pet labrador....maybe we should all be open minded and accept that sex is normal if you love someone in whatever form your soulmate arrives. At least labradors only last about 12 years, so the commitment isn't too bad, and if it all breaks down a juicy bone should cover the divorce.

[rainman]

Google is your friend... :yes:

Ed, there are some key rules you don't seem to be getting, here:
1. If you claim an assertion, particularly if you claim it is absolute documented fact, then the onus is on you to provide sources when challenged, so that others can debate them and judge their quality.
2. If, when so challenged, you say "find them yourself", "Google is your friend", etc., then you forfeit the point of debate, plus accumulate five "tosser" demerit points
3. After a certain number of aforementioned "tosser" demerits (threshold varies with the debatee), people stop engaging with you, cos yer a tosser.

This is indisputable fact, and well-documented, as even a cursory Googling will show... :laugh:

Anyway, to your response:

Um, no I didn't - your points were:

- short term relationships
- bring children into the world
- people becoming blase about moving from one relationship to another either
- without regard to the long term benefits of a stable marriage or
- in a forlorn hope of finding that perfect man or woman

Although I did not explicitly state that promiscuity on either party's part would not be sufficient cause to break up my very long-term and stable relationship, to be fair (it wouldn't be), I did deal with kids and the myth of perfection. The rest is all just your assumptions about normality.

Because she is an attention seeking whore.

Does that complete the circle? :laugh:

I don't think the Topp Twins would even consider this subject worthy of social activism anymore and they were active in getting same sex relationships considered acceptable and legal.

Others must have noticed how it is now fashionable for females in the entertainment industry to 'come out' as bi-sexual. It gets them a headline and at the same time broadens their scope of work.

[Tigadee]

Yeah, I guess no one wants to picture the Topp Twins together as compared to Mau and her dancer partner...

Not even with their individual partners, is it still termed granny sex when they can't, naturally, be grandparents with that type of sex?

Exactly as he said ^
Some people love fat chicks, some people love blondes, some like chicks with dicks! who really cares. It might not be your cup of tea but if they are happy its really noone else's business......the problem is always an outsiders problem!

Some folks hate the internet, where the masks fall away and people are free to speak their small little minds....but sometimes it's quite revelatory, the view is actually clearer of exactly who makes up our society.

I disagree, the reaction to Ms Mau's grandstanding is indistinguishable from the scorn and abuse Lucy Lawless copped for her Greenpeace stunt. People are just sick of being lectured by d-grade celebrities who think their opinions are more valid because they've been on TV, it's not about who she decided to share her bed with.

For some reason, I'm reminded of Michael Stipe's "coming out" and his attempt to hide his utter deflation when everyone reacted with a "yes, Mike, we'd worked that out already".

Went to the cupbpard
to get her poor doggie a bone
But when she bent over
old Rover took over
and gave her a bone of his own!

But when she got there the cupboard was bare,
So they had sex without, it was better.

Anyway, this is getting way off topic regarding Ms Mau and partner (more strength to 'em, I say), so perhaps we should desist or move it elsewhere.

If she wants to stand up about something she feels strongly about then that's great, it's not less of a valid opinion because she was with a man, has a career in the spotlight or is attractive.
I think a woman's attractiveness definitely has an effect on the way they are perceived and unfortunately some have to pick holes in very attractive strong women because they need to have a weakness

There is, at least in my view, a profile of women in the "spotlight" who are narcissistic attention seekers by nature - perhaps Nikki Watson, Ali Mau, Sally Ridge / little girl Ridge are good illustrations of this category; and they stand up for stupid causes like being a lesbian or whatever, simply because it gives them attention. In the Ridge's case, they stand up for the cause of being stupid. Point is, the somatic narcissism is the root cause for their need to be in the spotlight and get that attention.

Flipping this for a second - who can you point to and say, "holy shit, she's a wonderful role model"? I can think of Sarah Ulmer, and then I run out of ideas... So, in the vacuum, instead of quality role models and people to respect, this is what we get instead.

Actually, thinking about this, in the vacuum of great male role models and leadership, we get people like John Key running the country...

http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/love-sex/6953223/Mau-tells-anti-gays-to-chill-out

Television presenter Ali Mau wants homophobic Kiwis to wake up.

...

Is Ali M just stroking her ego by identifying herself with a hip social trend?

Is Alan Turing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing) rolling in his grave?



Poor brilliant Alan committed suicide which says much about the attitudes of society at that time. Its odd though - the Brits accepted homosexuality with a nod and a wink for generations so we have to wonder if Alan suffered from his own demons. Oscar Wild died early, shortly after being released from prison.

As for Ali Mau - all the newspaper article is doing is reporting her support of Rainbow Youth. She's not attention-seeking or phoning up the Harold to cheerlead the (ahem) fishwife menage.

She has made a personal sexual choice: she is well known...for being well known. That's what we do with people who are on tv. Sad eh.

Her public profile means her active support for a cause catches more attention. We don't have to like it, we don't have to agree with her, but it's foolish to pretend she shouldn't draw publicity. There's possibly a little ego involved but Ali Mau is on tv every week - she doesn't need more attention, she's already in NZs tiny pool of celebrities.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/love-sex/6953223/Mau-tells-anti-gays-to-chill-out

Television presenter Ali Mau wants homophobic Kiwis to wake up.

...

The Fair Go presenter came out in 2010 about her relationship with Karleen Edmonds.

Despite being forced to come out before she was ready, Mau said she was sure enough of herself to trust her feelings.

"It was a bit of a surprise, but it's not something I had a deep moral wrestle with. I just thought, 'I am really into this person.' It didn't matter what gender she was."

Riiiight.

Female sexuality is often fluid. Ms Mau was with a man before this partner and may well be with a man again for her next one. If I was a gay man I'd suspect her of taking something intrinsic to my identity, something personal and sacred, and using it as an assumed badge of coolness.

Is Ali M just stroking her ego by identifying herself with a hip social trend? Does her dilettantish dalliance with muff-diving and smug acceptance of the spotlight diminish the struggle for acceptance by genuinely homosexual people who've been persecuted by Western society for hundreds of years?

Is Alan Turing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing) rolling in his grave?

Or is this sort of shallow behaviour by a media personality just an inevitable cost of an open and accepting society, and by far the lesser of two evils?

Should Alison just shut up and show us her tits?

Discuss.


Alan Turing does not even deserve mention in the same millennium as Ms Mau.

His contribution to society and the world in general is immeasurably superior to some female who decided she wanted to play for the same team and then make a platform about it.

Personally I could care less where she get s her sexual kicks,but could(and have)listened to Alan Turings theories and studies for hours and hours.

Are celebs role models? I actually discourage my girls to look at celebs (whether in sports, fashion, media, etc), as role models or example of reality. They are as likely to disappoint as they are to encourage.

Husaberg is right, the good folk around you, the everyday hard working, common sense and loving encouragers and mentors are the genuine role models, not those who excel in sports, look good in underwear catalogs or work in the media - they're already overpaid to begin with.

Q: "Are celebs role models?"
A: yes, whether you like it or not. They aren't good ones, you can even try to teach your childern they are negative ones, 'don't do this yourself'. However the media, teachers and trheir mates will refer to them and use them as role models. Because modern society see celebs as the top of the heap (dung heap) then regardless of what you try, role models they are. Also because the media love scandal, the worse they are the more they will be pushed at you.

In the end all you can do is help your children make wise choices. Keep up the good work and wish you success.

There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you." Now... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. You'd be dead right now. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here... he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.
