The gender card again...

[catsnknots]

Sorry to interrupt your no politics idea  but I still find the subject important and want to rant... 

How dare Gillard make abortion an election issue... There is no way that is acceptable and to even suggest that the Coalition will remove your right to one is scare mongering to the max. 

In this modern day time it is incredibly important that we don't use these topics to inflame a false war. 

Even if a person in any party did not like the idea of abortion there is no way that they would get the support to make it illegal. Or limit your access to one... or even make you feel bad for having one. 

So if Gillard wants to launch a campaign called "Labor Women for Gillard" then fine... but don't pull out the gender card and make something out of nothing.. 

And personally I find it sexist to have a women's only group calling for women to support Gillard. 

I have two sons and I also want their future to be positive and not forgotten but it seems that this PM only want to think of the future of women.

Nite everyone!

that's what it all boils down to, the refusal to respect an ALP female PM.

[*crikey*mate*]

Because Men's Shed is not used as a political tool to divide the nation. 

Isn't men's shed sort of like a boys night out for older men? Plenty of women's clubs around too if that's the case - CWA off the top of my head.

No, Men's Sheds are a support network for men.

Nah, I am having a little trouble respecting someone who jumped the gun today and shot from the hip before they had any proof as to what they were saying and criticizing. That's a pretty serious thing coming from a lawyer, far less the PM, regardless of gender, considering the magnitude of the situation.

I think the LNP acting with decorum and skill by apologizing for the content of the menu and expressing their distaste for it.

Today, regardless of whether the menu is legitimate or not, it was the LNP who acted in a professional manner, not the leader of our country.

Oh, and there aren't similar services or clubs available for women?

She lost respect when she backflipped on the CO2 tax... like it or not that is the fact. 

she did it too herself.

Who said there isn't?

How did Gillard shoot from the hip?

Did you hear her comment?

I missed that, would like to see what she said, if you have a copy.

It's ok, I found it.

so how then can the Men's Shed be seen as a sexist political organization - I don't follow that train of thought. I need someone to expand on that for me.
