I know he stuffed us around with the NBN but for goodness sakes we need something better than Abbott.

Sisterhood

The term sisterhood is used among feminists to express the connection of women who are not biologically related but are bonded in solidarity. The sisterhood of women often refers to their feminism, their participation in the women’s movement, their support of other women

Quota

As in women need quotas set so that they get a certain or equal representation or just to get a job.

Labor has quotas so that they get a certain number of female candidates standing in elections.

It doesn't always sit well with the "best person for the job brigade" because a women might get it

because of her sex and not because she is the best person for the job.

I respect a woman who gets a job on merit but not based on a sex / gender quota.

A fair few think it is reverse sexism, against males because it restricts male access to the position.

I rarely hear any feminists using the word sisterhood. It seems to have been hijacked by those who love to attack the concept of feminism.

The quota system is used to ensure the best people for the job get a look in regardless of their gender as men always have and continue to dominate politics regardless of whether they are the best person for the job.  

How could it be reverse sexism when men still outnumber women, massively?

Nup, it is only a sexist that would reach such a conclusion that it is reverse sexism.  There is no such thing as reverse sexism, btw.

"The quota system is used to ensure the best people for the job get a look in regardless of their gender as men always have and continue to dominate politics regardless of whether they are the best person for the job. "

That is the biggest load of twaddle out.

In Europe they have quotes based SOLELY on gender, irrespective of who is best for the job.

If you need a quota to get a job, political or otherwise, then it says how carp you are for that job.

I would suggest fixing the branch stacking and factions before bringing in quotas.

OK, it's sexist to discriminate based on gender, except when it is in favor of the female !

Quotas, a good example of how NOT to earn respect !

That's the type of thing I'd put the cross hairs on and pull the trigger !

You would shoot a quokka? I doubt that a quokka would chase you down and try to pin you against a tree LOL.

They are native animals that are mainly found only on Rottnest Island.  I believe that is how Rottnest got it's name. Initially explorers though it inhabited large rats.

Don't shoot them.

No, I wouldn't shoot a Quokka.

Perhaps it was a typo and he really meant quotient (as in IQ) A  few members  of the brotherhood still haven't  quite come to terms with the realisation that being born with a tail between your legs is not a sign of greater intelligence..

[cherry*135]

It's all a deflection anyway, from the woes the current PM has brought upon himself.
