I submit that the Royal succession should continue to be based on sex (although
not on gender). My reasons are as follows:
1. The Monarchy is not about democracy or rights, but about tradition. If
traditional aspects of that institution are to be tampered with, then it might
as well be abolished altogether. That is not my main reason, although I place
it first.
2. My main reason is that this Government is all about oppressing men, and
has done absolutely nothing, in its two terms to date, to abolish discrimination
against men, of which I have mentioned several examples in correspondence
with MPs over the course of the years. It is absolutely typical that it should
-- on the other hand -- go to the trouble of abolishing this minor bit of
discrimination against women.
3. The British Government has been moving to further discriminate against
men in the Justice System, by such measures as
abolishing women's prisons and indoctrinating
the judiciary in Feminist propaganda. Therefore the New Zealand Government
should underline its abhorrence of discrimination against men by refusing
to cooperate with the British Government in the form of this Bill.
4. There has been some publicity about British banknotes recently. Feminists
have prevailed upon the authorities to replace
the image of the epoch-making scientist, Charles Darwin, with that of
a female fictionalist of the second rank. That
is despite the fact that (it appears) all British banknotes already have on
them the image of the Queen. This indicates that the British Monarch is in
fact desexed, and not viewed as either male or female.
5. If this Bill is passed, New Zealand should move to becoming a Republic.
