Women make up half the population but when they look
at the Liberal Party they see men.

The Liberal Party
is not just struggling to get women into Parliament
it is also struggling to get women voters to vote
for them.

Women make amazing MPs and local representatives
but they sometimes just need to see other women and hear
from other women and see that it is possible. And so far
only 18 out of 84 MPs in the Liberal Party are women -
Not a good look.

Australia ranks 50th in the world for female representation,
sandwiched between the Philippines and South Sudan.

Probably the reason why women are under represented on the Conservative Side is because a higher proportion are Socially Conservative. I'm sure that many women see female representation as a critical issue- I'm not sure that it will get them what they want. But it's their choice. If things don't work out well we can point to this time.

While men and women are fighting they are less effective as a force against outside forces.

You can "slice and dice" the community in many ways. I prefer local over global. In my sphere of influence females have fair equality of opportunity. Feminism divides the community- I prefer a local community that is united in order to be strong against the globalist tyranny. There needs to be a "balance in the hierarchy" between the levels of the world community- between the individual/ family/ street/ local community/ state/ nation/ region/ world.

Perhaps in some ways feminism has provided a greater labor force in effect reducing wages (due to increased supply of workers) and causing inflation (because of the increased divorce rate) and poverty.

With all these paradigms it's important to understand both sides- and most times there are more than two sides.

Females want more power- fine- but remember 100% of zero is still zero

Hi there TTBN...

My apologies, but I forgot to mention your latest contribution. You know I never thought of that? You're absolutely spot on! It is the fairer sex that habitually raise allegations of misogyny, popularised by one of our lessor lights in the Office of Prime Minister; a Ms.Julia GILLARD who sought to employ the term, to describe and malign one, Mr Anthony ABBOTT.

There could never be anything else that might impinge upon the lady's promotion perhaps? Inability to lead? Potential for favouritism? Could be anything at all I guess - Nevertheless they cry out 'misogyny'.

A question if I may please TTBN...? Is this the same (intellectual) lady, who endowed us all with that gem of Prime Ministerial pronunciation - 'high per bowl' meaning hyperbole?

I couldn't imagine ANY law graduate, capable of mispronouncing anything, let alone a well used noun meaning 'exaggeration, overstatement or embellishment' among others. All of which are words often used in preparing criminal briefs, and in civil jurisprudence as well.

Especially a lawyer working in the hallowed chambers of the eminent Slater & Gordon? Anyway there you go!

Talking about government or any other organisations fiddling with gender 'quotas’ is a waste of time and space. Being a politician is not a proper job; it is the only paid activity that does not require any qualifications apart from the ability to read and write, and to have the gift of the gab.

Quotas are an insult to any self-respecting woman.

Many women are very successful in the professions and in business: many of the latter being self-employed because of their entrepreneurship and logical brains - not something common in women. They are still women, but they are 'different’ from most woman, and they are often made to feel different by other woman who might like to be just like them, but cannot understand why they can't be. Like it or not, woman are created differently from men, and there are just a few of them who are lucky enough - or cursed enough - to have traits normally associated with males.

Women who can, do. And they don't have the time to complain about 'misogyny’.

o sung wu,

Yes indeed. It was the great lawyer Julia Gillard who thought that hyperbole was where you kept the fruit

o sung wo you once said you thought I was honest, well let me prove it!that filthy word *solidarity* is meant by some in my party to hide filth, that woman suffered the greatest abuse ever seen in this countrys politics, in truth some of it from me, see a small group knifed Rudd, not just her,she by the way was sacked by Slater and Gordon, her then boyfriend, known to me personally, was/is/and always will be filth,he infestered my life time union,and came nose to nose with me,he was the one who walked away, he got removed as such filth should be, gentlemen I DO however think this government and many in this country are Misogynists, Trueday the first day of a new sitting will be telling remember in every case it is women from the conservative side that make these claims
