Belly:"that bloke is dated"

Well the book WAS written way back in 1988, but then, let's face it, the whole Feminist paradigm relies on taking examples from other places and times to pretend that women are disadvantaged here and now.

It's not even dishonest, it's self-deluded.

By the way, Belly, Grierson doesn't mention her affiliation with Emily's List and the role it played in getting her elected in her biography either.

I will expand anti on Sharon she earned her place, against all comers all sex's she is worth her weight.
Lexi forever is my mate, I do not see her as feminist.
Now not going to expand, but a bit of hurt in my past, and a lot with my brothers, not unlike you seem to have.
We, you and I will get the verbal kicking but the truth is.
DARE I? a good loyal woman is treasure beyond any.
A bad using untrustworthy one, just like bad men they exist, in my view in number higher than ever before.
I think no job should be reserved for any sex or race not one.
And that some of the best workplace managers I worked with are women.
But yes out dated the ALP has put dorks in the house male and female for? friendship and loyalty to others who had no right to gift them.
Gillard? her chances of coming back from here are mine of winning the golden casket, and I do not have a ticket.

Antiseptic,

My previous post citing Dennis Pryor's
opinion of "women in politics," was
done as a bit of humour - tongue-in-cheek.
You know - satire.

A pity you didn't get it.

Ah well. You are the same old sausage.
All fizz and sputter. Can't help yourself.
You probably don't mean to demean all
women. You just feel an obligation.

We care well in to the thread,even I can not answer its questions.
I can however speculate.
Kevin Rudd looked most unlike our two leaders in his interviews about the silly kid in Bali.
Kevin looks statesman like.
He would have been put back in charge by now, if those who unseated him thought as all good men should party first.
Bill, my great White hope, Shorten, seems not to have the numbers yet.
He is back on the ABC on Monday.
A path well worn by Rudd on his way to the top.
I remain troubled.
I have no other way, for me party first is the only path.
WHY?
Reform of my party must,sorry brothers and sisters, break down right wing union control.
My faction my past my future but my fear too.
Middle Australia is unimpressed and like me unaware of your motives

Belly,

I hope they bring back Rudd again, but not for the same reasons you do.

The coalition has been deliberately pumping up Rudd because he was so divisive in the caucus and an easy target. If Rudd gets in Labor is finished.

If he comes in as leader, the focus will change back onto him, and his ratings will do what they did previously, and plummet.
