Dear Nathan,

I can't argue with your logic.

Fox,

It was the the public 'discussion' of totalitarian countries, eg., North Korea. It was the public national broadcaster too.

Feminism has never represented the interests of all women. It never intended to, never will and they will never ask anyone outside of their circle. The interests of the very materialist and egocentric educated middle class women reign supreme - very obvious in the Q&A panel and audience.

It was the very last place on Earth that you might encounter a breast-feeding woman in the audience, and certainly NOT a breast-feeding indigenous mum in non-designer label clothing, from working class suburb.

Some things never change. As Fred Daly, a long-serving Labor* politician and Speaker of the federal Parliament used to say, "In a one horse race you can always back self-interest". The educated middle class feminists have self-interest in truck loads and that Q&A reeked of self-entitlement.

*Fred Daly, a long-serving Labor politician - Fred would be turning over in his grave at the materialistic greed of this lot.

I think that most ordinary, decent people,
would probably have thought that celebrating
"International Women's Day," (8 March 2015),
with questions from the audience on "Q and A,"
with an all-female panel
was a great thing. It was a step to reach Australians
on a personal level and counter anti "feminist"
prejudices. Annabel Crabb wrote in The Age article:

"I am a feminist because to be one seems perfectly obvious
and reasonable to me. I am a feminst because it bothers
me that women are more than 50 per cent of the population
and more than 60 per cent of university graduates
but somehow only
3 per cent of Chief Executives. I am a feminist because
it bothers me that a woman gets killed by a male partner every
single week and somehow that doesn't qualify as a tools-down
national crisis, even though if a man got killed by a shark
every week, we'd probable arrange to have the ocean drained."

"I am a feminist because it bugs me that we hear the phrase -
"working mum," but not "working dad."

Most modern women in the Western World don't put labels
on themselves. They just get on with their lives. They
don't place themselves on any "feminist" pedestal. They
merely support what they believe, in as Annabel Crabb does,
and try to do some good in the world.

What I do not understand is why some men appear so threatened
by having issues that affect women around the world
being discussed openly.
That is just so yesterday!
