Does Kevin Rudd have a problem with women?

[idlewhile]

The evidence is mounting that not only does Rudd have a problem with people he believes are beneath him but he seems to have a problem with women.

The RAAF cadet who was reduced to tears because Rudd didn't get his preferred meal on board a RAAF  flight, the tantrum with the hairdryer he couldn't get, the appalling rudeness to Ms Kenneally whilst she was premier, the 3 year crusade to destroy Julia Gillard, the rude & arrogant way he treated the make up artist & now the brush off of a young woman trying to ask a question & was jeered at because she wasn't a "working journalist" after she was given permission to move up front & ask a question by Rudds staff.

We are not privvy to the reign of terror he perpetrated on his staff in the PM's office but were witness to 80% of them fleeing his employ.

We have heard about his massive ego & his filthy mouth but the disdain he seems to have for women is worrying.

diversion?

I think you are right Dulcetrose but it's not just women.  He seems like an extremely arrogant man whose main concern is himself.

Kevin Rudd ? mounting evidence ? 

This from smartcompany:

http://www.smartcompany.com.au/managing-people/057003-tony-abbott-thinks-a-colleague-has-sex-appeal-...

Maurice Blackburn Lawyers principal in employment and industrial law, Kamal Farouque, told SmartCompanythis morning that referring to the appearance or sexuality of a colleague in the workplace could be perceived as sexual discrimination.

“Sex discrimination is a difference of treatment of men to women,” he says.

“You are going into danger territory if a manager or employer describes a woman’s appearance in this way.”

Farouque says Tony Abbott was asked to compare the former candidate with the new candidate, but he did not refer to their competence, knowledge or likely benefit to the community if voted in, but rather referred to looks. He says in the workplace this commentary could be seen as demeaning.

“If it is one colleague to another not (not manager to junior) it can still be sex discrimination, depending on the context, if it diminishes their status,” he says.

Was it Kevin Rudd who has said about a women "when she says no it doesn't me no"  (Tony Abbott used that publicly in referance to Julia Gillard ).......wouldn't even listen to any suggestion from the public that that comment may be very offensive and not only to our PM.No that comment was not from Kevin Rudd it was from Tony Abbott.

When is Tony Abbott due in Court ?

and is Scotland yard currently investigating  ,in the UK, our main source of news for allegations of phone hacking and bribery ?

[izabsmiling]

what is this arrogant way Kevin Rudd treated this make up artist paid by us to do our PM's make up ?

gossip posted on her public fb page ....boosting the Libs...knocking our PM ...her Politics aside she says  (yeah and I'm a monkey's uncle)

maybe he didn't talk,didn't like her work,doesn't like certain make up ,didn't praise her work,his face being touched ,maybe he just didn't say thanks ,asked if she ever shuts up ? (like Tony Abbott did to our PM )lol

Tasking Tony Abbott as a demeanor of women is ludicrous & a Labor smear campaign they have been running with both Gillard & Rudd. The ultra left wing Maurice Blackburn union laywers have an axe to grind against anything Liberal, we all know that.

There is anecdotal evidence that Rudd demeans women & anybody else he deems not as smart as he is.

How anybody can defend this man is well beyond the bounds of just partisan politics, it's out there every day just what type of person Rudd is.

I am looking forward to having a decent man run this country & a shining example of a family living in the lodge.

The evidence that K Rude has a problem with women is documented & can't be disputed.
