Old, white, straight, and a man, curse my parents for making me this way.

@UrzilaCarlson @Jaccslife "Made in South Africa" ... Figures. Explains so much.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@UrzilaCarlson @Jaccslife No, she's right, you're all just going out of your way to imply it's all men. When you say MENchangeyourbehavior you're implying ALL men and that's a gross over exaggeration and generalisation.

Hate online only escalates when people spout incorrect rubbish.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@UrzilaCarlson @Jaccslife Huh!?

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@FlyAirNZ @1RegNZ How can there be no impact? Your planes can't fly without engineers.

It's also not just 1 day, but 3.
And I presume it's your code share partners too!?

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

Thanks, but b/c you and your employees can't come to an agreement you're punishing 10s of 1000s of people who won't get to share in any festive joy with their families.

Maybe water less money on stupid safety videos and use that $2.5M to pay your staff!!

@HelenTwidle Sure. Take no responsibility at all for anything, it's always someone else's fault. Nothing you could've done would've changed the outcome.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

Whatever happened to teaching people to be responsible!? You don't go traveling alone. You don't go out with someone you don't know, without at the very least, telling somebody else where you will be going. Come on people. It's common sense. #GraceMillane

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@MillieOriginal That's fair. I'm not blaming the victim. It's horrible what happened. It shouldn't have happened, to her, or to anybody, ever.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@Lights0fTucson No that's not what I'm saying. I said what I said, what I intended to say. There was no inference of gender in what I said. You're projecting.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@weaverka Takes one to know one.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@1RegNZ You'll be sitting in an airport lounge watching cancelled screens while everyone else (including those striking and the airline) enjoy their holidays.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

While I feel for you, and your right to be treated fairly, when you punish 100s of 1000s of people that have nothing to do with your cause and just want to get to their families, you've overstepped the mark.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

Great, so now because workers have a disagreement with their employer my family (and tens of thousands of others) won't make it here for Xmas.

Fucking unions and their fucking strikes.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@ytzpilot 6th in the history of NZ. agree. there are 60+ each year that are murdered in NZ and none of them get heart felt tears from the PM on national tv! none of them get vigils all over the country! are these people somehow less important?

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

So are we going to have a vigil and run front page newspaper headlines for every person killed in New Zealand? What makes #GraceMillane that special?

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@SianMorton my point is, yes, it is truly horrible what happened to her, but there are many others that are missing, that are found dead, and they don't seem to matter. why? because they're men? because they're brown? because they're not so far from home?

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@neelish pretty much that, yes. we can't control everything, but we can be careful.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@lauititi fair. "you don't know what's out there" is even MORE reason to be extra vigilant and careful.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@KLMcLaren and why does that matter?

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

"Males represented 62% of all (murder) victims"
https://t.co/nKvvBkiVb6

Where are all the emotional PM apologies, and Twitter outpourings, and vigils for these men that get murdered?!? Oh yeah, that's right, they're men, so it doesn't matter.

#GraceMillane

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@Jaccslife Sure, thanks for #womansplaining to me what i was thinking, very kind of you.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

Good lord, now even when men try get other men to support women it's wrong. We just can not win. It's insane.

Surely men organizing other men to stand up against the behavior of men is more powerful. It's not about putting our stamp on it for christ sakes.

[grumpyoldmanz @grumpyoldmanz]

@Jaccslife not what I said.
