Foxy,

All that you have shown is that TA does not believe the feminist dogma that men and women are physically and psychologically identical.

What you haven't shown is a single instance of TA's hatred for women.

The reality is that for the vast majority of cases today:
1 Women stay home to look after the children. This disrupts their careers and prevents many from even trying for leadership roles.
2 Women still do the ironing and most of the housework
3 Women still avoid STEM fields such as engineering

This is not to say that women can't change this, just that they don't want to. That women are boosted into power based on a quota has largely been a failure with Juliar being a prime example.

As for TA's suitability for the job, perhaps you would care to point out someone better suited? As for his potential bias, as it is pure conjecture on your part perhaps you should show why he would be.

Otherwise, all of this is simply left whinge hysteria.

Shonky Minister,

Questions are being asked if Abbott, as a former PM, will be using knowledge gained in that position to sell Australia out to a foreign regime. Australia should cut Abbott's pension off, and since he is a proven misogynist cut a pair of something else off at the same time, not that he has any!

BTW, did you spot that clown Bug Ridden Boris, praising the Mad Monk? No wonder the Poms have made such a cock up of the covid-19 response with that fool in charge.

Paul1405,

It's easy to see that the shadowminister has no training in anthropology and sociology.

Mr O, but he is very good at waving his tin cup at passerby's, while mumbling "a few pennies for a poor vet"..... bet you didn't know he was once an animal doctor, did you.

Paul1405,

He won't engage with me in discourse because he hates it when I keep reminding him that he is just an engineer and that he doesn't have any training in the fascinating Arts things like history, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, philosophy, etc.

He should take himself back to uni and do an Arts degree but he won't because he keeps telling everybody that he already knows about all that stuff (it came to him a dream I suppose) and he doesn't need to acquire the skills needed to engage in these areas.

He's your typical chicken feeder: "Here chook chook chook!"

Shadow Minister,

I certainly have NOT tried to show Mr Abbott's hatred
of women neither did I follow any "feminist dogma" as
you infer that men and women are physically and
psychologically identical. That is YOUR own interpretation
of what you think I have done and it is as always WRONG.

This has nothing to do with "hatred" but everything to
do with prejudice, stereotyping, inequality, and gender roles
and what those should be in our society.

Mr Abbott's views are based on the old system where everyone
knew what their roles were and most people unquestionably
behaved as they were "supposed" to.

Men are now permitted a more gentle and expressive
personality than would have been considered appropriate a few
decades ago. The 1959s "John Wayne" image of manhood has
less and less appeal to both sexes today.

Our society today is more individualistic and men and
women are exploring a wide variety of possible roles.

As I've stated many times on this forum - today a person's
individual human qualities, rather than his or her
biological sex is the primary measure of that person's
worth and achievement.

And that is something that unfortunately you
don't appear to understand or grasp.
