Talking about hysterical women who go on about 'bullying’ to cover up their inadequacies, Ginger Julia has just been awarded an honorary doctorate “for her ‘outstanding contribution to education and social inclusion’. Men not 'included’ of course. As Corrine Barraclough writes: “ nothing says “inclusion” quite like divisive gender politics”.

Yesterday, the honorary (make believe) Doctor spruiked ‘ Women and leadership’ at Adelaide University and, of course, she whined that it was “gender bias” that saw Julie Bishop getting her well-deserved comeuppance in the leadership count. And she is still moaning that when she “governed” (is that what she thought she was doing?), the media dismissed “out of hand” her claims that anything she mucked up wasn't her fault but “related to (her) gender”. Well, that's changed, although she didn't say anything about that. The media is now up to their eyes in gender bigotry.

There was a lot more typical gender waffle from our third worse Prime Minister ever, but who would be interested? We had plenty of that while she was - apparently - governing.

Hi Foxy,

Seems this topic has stirred the forums 'cranky old men', yet again. Do you think I should stop doing that? The cranky old men have lost their position of dominance in society, and they don't like it. With references to the "snowflake generation", " malcontented, frustrated battleaxes", "I use "sheila" to describe only the lower class of female", "a very sick depraved narrative", "displaying such gruesome things", "rampant misandry", "serial moaner and groaner", "Pakistan got straight into the whinge ", "Africa has now started up about bullying", "The woman of Greek background,is a Turnbullite", "Three whingers, all multi-cultis", "a generation of snowflakes", "Not just African women - all types of women - kill more children than men do". "hysterical women cover up their inadequacies, Ginger Julia Men not 'included’ of course", "up to their eyes in gender bigotry"!

Wow there's is plenty of the misogynistic types, just here on our little forum.
As a female (I can't because I'm a male, although ttbn is not to sure about that). I beg you to make the lads a warm cup of coco, something women are good at in their eyes, and tuck them into bed, something else women are good at in their eyes. See women have at least two talents, coco making and bed tucking, and no more of this unnecessary tish tosh about equality. Remember the motto "bare foot, pregnant and in the kitchen!" The lads hanker for a return to the good old days, back in grandmas time, when men were men, and women done as they were told!

What can I put up next that will "please" the lads? I know, what will get them going "A Transvestite Would Make An Excellent Prime Minister!" The lads tend not to like any we've had in the past, so that should "please" them.

Paul you open up a subject well worth talking about,there are a few who are are quite rabbid seen that in remarks about you, yes not forgetting you left my boat but like myself right or wrong, we both care about the planet and other people, we however, you even more than me bloke are either evil lefties or completely stupid wreckers,be content with understanding very very few voters care enough to be well informed, that half of this country, the number that do not vote conservative,or 95 percent, the number who are not super conservative will never support the view we are wrong always, overnight our ex Foreign affairs Minister added her voice to this threads claims,some will now put her down, for? being an honest woman, both lesser beings for too many in this coalition and some who support it..Be aware, the cheap shop has a special on cheap shots so you are about to be hit with the news of sexism in your party, know however in this case those throwing the verbal rocks will be on the side of the woman!

Foxy opines "So politics whether we like it or not, does matter.It will be politics that will determine whether...." followed by a shopping list of things she thinks government should/will/can address.

Part of the problem is government and control of it has become so much more consequential these days. As governments seek and seize greater control over the lives of the governed, the stakes get higher. Therefore the cost of failing to be on the winning side becomes much higher. Hence the viciousness and fight-to-the-death attitude. Reduce the size and scope of government and that'll reduce the need and urge toward the blood sport nature of parliament.

As to the claims that conservative and/or older men are naturally misogynist (which people like Paul use to avoid making their case) I'd venture to opine that the (vast?) majority of these so-called misogynists would have been and would still be great admires of Margaret Thatcher, one of the half dozen most consequential and successful politicians of the 20th century. No misogyny there, just support for someone who knows what needs to be done and does it. If we found such a person in our parliament, I'm sure most of those who are currently falsely labelled would rally around the banner, penis or no penis.

Paul,

It seems that you are the cranky, stirred up one, devoting an entire paragraph to repeating everything I said. At least you are paying attention.

I see that you have the support of poor old Belly - if you can decode his gibberish. Do you think he is on something nasty, or is it that he never went to school? He clearly isn't aware that his beloved Labor party is now in the hands of a university-educated elite who wouldn't have a bar of an illiterate road worker. Perhaps you, with your infinite compassion for everyone of the left and all kinds of odd balls, could find a venue for him to express himself without the need to use the English language

ttbn.

"Do you think he is on something nasty, or is it that he never went to school? "

Sorry ttbn, but that's beyond the pale.

Actually not sorry. That's just plain disgusting. Almost makes your "I use "sheila" to describe only the lower class of female" seem genteel. Is the need to score points so vital that you shelve common decency?
