Sexism is not real in Australia! is it?

For all those who keep repeating that Prime Minister Gillard has not been the target of sexist attacks since she won the last election battle what do you call today's events?


 


First the Army.


Then the Tim is gay attack on Gillard.


 


Are you really ready to accept these behaviours as the norm for your daughters and sons?

I was raised to understand that respect is a given, a right that everyone has.... unless or until they earn disrespect. However, that does not entitle me to be disrespectful in turn.

The fact remains that the pm is a disaster, not because of gender, but because of incompetence, underhandedness, lack of credibility and the list goes on.


 


 


I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

No the fact remains that parrots keep repeating this government is a disaster and the PM is incompetent because of her gender on a regular basis.



 


Like I keep on saying freakie SEPT 14 is getting closer and you wont have to worry any more and the majority of Australia will breather a collective sigh of relief that the worst PM in our history is GONE.


 


A PM that has gone out of her way to DIVIDE a nation on wealth and sex and now TIE COLOUR... A PM that will say anything in her quest to cling to the last threads of power.


 


 the PM is incompetent


 


YES she is and it has NOTHING at all to do with her sex.... SHE and her govt are incompetent its that simple.


 


So like I have said freakie chill, as all your stress will be gone after Sept 14 and life will be good once again....


 


 



 


Come along to the party freakie and lets celebrate the end of the Gillard brand of SEXISM on Sept 14  Lets celebrate the division of Australia by this PM... Hope to see you there freakie

Why would you as a woman be offended if you got a wolf-whistle? Wouldn't you think it a compliment. Are you not still worth a wolf-whistle?


 


I remember a TV show once, where the woman came home all depressed and when her husband asked what was wrong - it was because she didn't get wolf-whistled at.

And asking if Timmy is gay is not sexist, homophobic maybe but not sexist... 


 


I always thought he was a bit bisexual or something... so very relevant question imo


 



 


What has anyone's sexuality got to do with being PM? Someone's sexuality is not relevant to you, me or anyone else for that matter.
 You saying its relevant indicates to me you are homophobic

Do you think men are jealous about a woman's ability to multitask freaki? That may be why it happens, women are generally much harder workers I think. Especially working mums.


 


I think martini talked about sexism in the workplace recently, or was that the small mans syndrome? lol



 


Of course men work harder than women!


 


Women get it right the first time they do something.......


Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
