Toni, do you think people are going to call it crap, just because you say so?
When you demonstrate to the good people that you have a conviction and proof to back it up with, you can then only 'think' about making such comments, not actually making them.
Until then by your own words and attitude you are not in a position to sit in judgement over anyone.
I would suggest you stick to topic and tell us why you think women are equal to men, especially in Parliament, and not promote such an idea for no good reason other than your say so.
It would be more appropriate and productive to engage in 'why' women are not suitable for certain jobs than making inane comments about an inane topic.
There are so many reasons why women should not be in certain jobs, only someone refuting the truth or the facts would dis-agree.
Just because women say they are equal to men does not make it so.
Look at the facts, don't just look for the things that help your agenda, but ALL the facts, and you will see, they are pushing sh!t up hill, to put it mildly.

A victory for the emancipation of women was scored in the NSW Parliament yesterday with the passage of the Public Health Amendment (Safe Access to Reproductive Health Clinics) Bill 2018 being pass in the Legislative Council. The Bill seeks to establish a 150m safe access zones outside reproductive health clinics in NSW. For too long anti abortion groups have from close proximity (outside), intimidated, harassed, abused and threatened physical violence to those already vulnerable women seeking the services of these clinics, which was disgusting behaviour by the group. Greens NSW Spokesperson for the Status of Women, Dr Mehreen Faruqi said "This is a victory for the fundamental right of women to access a medical service in safety, dignity and privacy."

Personally I am not a supporter of abortion on demand, but I do not believe the "anties" have the right to abuse women as they do.

Whatever, dude. I'm not the one seeking a change to the status quo here: women can sit in Parliament. If you want the laws changed to prevent that from happening, you're the one who needs to convince enough people that that change is warranted. If you can't manage that, then things will stay as they are.

Crapping on the board and strutting about like you've won is highly enjoyable, and I'm sure it makes you look really macho and clever and all that, but it's not a very fruitful strategy if you're actually trying to effect change. But it's up to you, I guess: if you really want to things to change, you're going to have to convince people why they should change. Of course, if you just want to rant and rave and call people names that rhyme with 'aggot', carry on as you are.

Small potatoes, Paul. The Irish voted overwhelmingly to repeal the 8th Amendment :)

Paul,

"Personally I am not a supporter of abortion on demand, but I do not believe the "anties" have the right to abuse women as they do"

With you there, except the distance ought to be at least 1 kilometre.

Toni,

What the Irish achieved is less travel time to have a safe abortion and removed the necessity of the ferry ride, which can be quite trying in stormy weather; or the plane which is rather expensive.
Of course, the well to do have always been able to enjoy the luxury of a home visit, albeit illegal.
