Babette, you are too kind!

You could have been more forthright by describing Labor's propaganda that Tony Abbott is a misogynist, as a giant beatup.

It is not surprising that the Weekend Australian's Peter van Onselen put in his threepence worth, as he is a pro-Labor, anti-Abbott academic. With such Left-leaning professors of journalism, it is perhaps not surprising that so many journos turn out to be socialism-oriented.

Instead of describing Labor's arch Abbott-hating female front-benchers as the handbag brigade, you could have used "attack dogs".

You could have highlighted Labor's hypocrisy in attacking Abbott while defending the apparent sexist, misogynist Peter Slipper.

"I was glad to see the emergence of our first female and extremely capable PM."

"extremely capable"?

She can't even fill out an Application for Association properly!

Seriously, Peter is precisely correct; Gillard and her "Handbag Mafia" wheel out this misogyny and sexism garbage whenever their policies and complete incomptence blows up in their face; which is pretty much every day.

This country is in crisis entirely because of this government, led first by the worst male PM and subsequently by the worst PM of any gender.

Tony Abbott is a staunch Catholic. Scratch any fundamentalist religious believer and sooner or later you will find the chauvinistic attitude to women that all religions have. Of course Western Religions deny this, but their rules and actions speak louder than their words.

Tony is typical of the way most males think under their pretend belief in female equality. They are biologically
programmed like the big males of most species. At heart they really would like to herd and control the females. That’s why so many of them find themselves divorced and wondering what they did wrong.

Australian women are the most privileged and pampered people on the planet but the feminists are hoping if they keep complaining loud enough no-one will notice.

And what crisis are we in.
No one should pick on Toni, everyone knows he can't help it.
He just can not stand women in power, he proved that in his school days.
So what has changed, besides nothing. The man is a political illiterate.
That was known years ago, yet he is supposed to be the leader of the opposition. Well he fixed that he opposes everything, and gets out of applying any alternate ideas.
What he says here, does not apply elsewhere. I heard someone say he was a gut less wonder, That is too kind.
