Dear runner,

Please do not dodge the question.

Do you think the poll was wrong or that one quarter of all Australian women are “very dumb”?

Or are you going to do an Abbott and refuse to answer any questions?

It's misandrist. Julia Gillard is a misandrist: a woman who either hates or dislikes or mistreats men.

Unfortunately Tony has been labeled a misogynist, and as implied by others here, many people don't actually know the meaning of the word only having heard it for the first time.

It is a bit like the word decimate which actually means only one in ten, but it is has been used in the wrong context constantly by journalists & others for so long it has now been adopted to mean "wipe out". English language is changing all the time.

Many members of parliament are ignorant as we saw when Pauline was asked if she was Xenophobic and she started a whole new catch-phrase, "Please explain". Perhaps Julia should be asked the same question in relation to misogyny

Dear snake,

Did you know that when Pauline Hanson was MP for Oxley she was referred to by Australian sociologists as an oxleymoron?

Yes, words can change and take on new meanings. But in the case of misogynist I still think it means specifically what it has always meant throughout history.

I think you are very naive if you believe one in four Australian woman think that Abbott is misogynist. If it was the case I for one would vote for more money for woman to be educated and not to swallow the abbottphobia hatred that comes from the likes of Tony Jones and other smart a leftist journalist. Fortunatley I don't believe one in four woman are that stupid.

Can we all agree that Julia Gillard stabbed Kevin Rudd in the back?

Where did this hatred of hers for Kevin Rudd come from?

She is definitely one wacky misandrist!
