"The newly-installed New Zealand Labour leader Jacinda Ardern has fired up after being quizzed over her plans to have a baby, sparking a national debate and accusations of sexism."

Jacinda is 37 and has openly discussed her desire to start a family, however, biology dictates that she has only a few short years to achieve this. Feminists declare loudly that she shouldn't be asked this question because it would never be asked of a man. Does the country have the right to know whether the potential PM is committed?

Similarly, are employers such as the US military expected to be blind to the needs and costs associated with employing non-traditional genders?

Shadow, with an election only a few weeks away, NZ Labour may indeed suffering a great deal of pain in the form of a looming electoral disaster. A week ago they were polling a low 24% with the Nationals sitting comfortably on 46%. The two parties doing well were the Greens with 15%, and NZ First 11%, led by the Godfather of NZ politics Winston Peters. Will a change of leadership boost Labour's prospects, it can't do them any harm. Some consider the old part Maori WP a raciest, although with a strange twist of fate Peters could end up PM. Even with a big lead the Nationals can't be guaranteed an absolute majority and will most likely need NZ First support to form government.

Ummm. Doog, I think what Shadow Minister is eluding to in saying 'non-traditional genders', meaning the other genders such as transvestites and so on.
