Juliar's misogyny screech 10 years ago was the high watermark in political hypocrisy. Juliar was defending her weasel Slipper who had been caught out posting disgusting and misogynist texts.

It would be like Labor's Orkopolous criticising others on the treatment of children after raping them.

Saying that speech was "fine" exposes an out-of-touch mentality of those who think so !
That speech should have incurred a fine !
I don't even bother to remember it because all I remember is that it was a mere vogue waffle of the time !

If the current Labor Front Bench stopped focusing on replays of the vaunted misogyny speech, and even half admitted to itself, that she stooged for the miners, to get rid of the RSPT.

Even now, quaking Chalmers claims that he can't touch the gas cartel, because of what the miners did to Rudd. Great legacy, Julia.

I remember Julia Gillard's speech speech being
published not only in Australia but around the
world. It went viral. It was picked up by not
only women's mags, but by the BBC, The Guardian,
New Yorker, Saturday mag, The Australian, Wikipedia,
tik tok, utube, and many more.

15 minutes of fury that was heard around the world.

After Julia Gillard's speech went viral the Macquarie
Dictionary updated its definition of the term "misogyny."
Previously defined as "hatred of women,"
Misogyny now encompasses "entrenched prejudice against women."

The speech may not have meant much to many men, but as our
first female PM - she certainly changed the way politics and
sexism were talked about in Australia and it high-lighted the
toxic nature of our parliament.

It drew attention to what women in politics had to silently
endure. Gillard paved the way for other women - "Enough
was enough!" And for that many women are grateful. And
unless you are a female - you have no idea
of what the effect of Gillard's speech was -
and what it meant to so many women.
