Paul,
I recall as a kid there was a saying that 'people in glass houses should not throw stones'

Good to see that your attempt to label another party as misogynist has come back and bit you on your green bum.

Is Misogyny still alive and well in the Greens party?

Hi Banjo,

Misogyny, is probably alive and well to some degree in the Green Party, Red Party, Blue Party as well as the LIBERAL PARTY. That does not mean its not to be discussed by anyone who is member of a political party. Do you think Julie Bishop is also in a glass house throwing stones? After all she has not resigned from the Liberal Party, yet! I find your comments rather nebulous, to be applied fairly no one on the forum would discuss anything of a political nature, as all including you, havw a political bias, therefore we are all throwing stones, you just threw one. Except for those that are "apolitical", but they would not be members of this forum in the first place.

Judging by some of the comments on this thread, misogyny is alive and well in a number of households across Australia. How's things down your way?

How many of us have seen a woman who has been bashed by her partner? bruised and bloodied, how did you feel about that? what if it was your daughter?this thread highlights demeaning behavior by men, against women, who happen to be in this current government.
It could have been about any party any group of men, if it was About my membership and support of white ribbon, by now I would have been targeted, men would scream what about men! read the posts here, absorb them, they prove Misogyny lives still
IF this thread was about the Australian Labor Party, the reactions of some would be reversed! that should tell us something if only we will listen

Interestingly, many of the DV incidences I've had to attend over the years, apart from being the most difficult of all jobs for a copper to resolve, with the victim and the aggressor are hard to identify.

Many younger folk view the woman as the victim, but over time, we learn the victim and/or the aggressor can change coats momentarily? Is DV another form of misogyny? Where the man of the house asserts his rights as the Boss? It's as well there're many protections now in the workplace, to ensure women have equal opportunity with men.

Make no mistake, In some industries women are streaks ahead of men, especially if they are young and attractive. Please excuse me, I don't mean to be offensive, but it's known as the 'vertical smile'.

Many of the Bosses in my former industry, have younger delicately featured, young ladies as their Personal Assistants. And it causes much dislocation, in the overall atmosphere of the Command's morale?

Especially when a middle management Officer (Inspector, Chief Inspector, even a Superintendent) needs immediate access to the Boss, and a young PA (at Constable level) quizzing him, as to all the details!

Four or five of them would have their lunch or morning tea together, causing much resentment among the others, particularly when they occupied the partitioned off section, (usually reserved for AC's and above) of the HQ Canteen. Because they were PA's, and as such, they believed they had inalienable rights. A few would call it the 'bitch's coven'.

This sort of blatant exhibition of sexism, causes insurmountable damage to morale, of the entire organisation.

Is Misogyny still alive and well in the Liberal Party?

I guess we may find out more when Parliament sits
again on Monday - 10th September 2018. Hopefully the
allegations being made by certain female MPs will be
looked into and not simply brushed aside. Everyone
deserves to feel safe in their workplace and bullying
should be unacceptable no matter who does it.
Calling complainants by a variety of derogatory names
does not achieve anything productive nor does it do anything
towards helping to solve the problem.

Hi Foxy,

Not all misogynists are knuckle dragging oaf's who throw the abuse at women when they feel threatened or intimidated. Often they are pleasant, even well meaning sods who outwardly could be described as congenial to females.

In the work place these types of misogynists are often to be found in occupations that were once traditionally male dominated. In those industries where today women are filling many of the senior decision making positions, some males, generally the long term under achievers, are resentful of such women. These guys will invent the most derogatory of reasons why the woman is in that position, "its because of her big tits", that kind of unjustified nonsense. These malcontents will cluster together in corners, and at desks, where they will bemoan their own sorry position at the expense of someone who is their superior in so many ways.
