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.

Of-course, none of the guest at the fundraiser read the menu  :^O

Wonder why the media are not queueing to interview the staff, who no doubt can tell us how much fun those present had with the menu.  If Slipper had to be sacked for his offensive private messages, which were not aimed at any one person, how can anybody defend this "joke"?  😮

About the menu - not appropriate but very well written.

Suck it up Julia, it's OK for you to make  comments about men in their "blue ties" but not OK for a bit in return.

And apparently it is ok for Gillard to call Joe Hockey fat... 

but I guess that it is ok for her to make fun of a man but a man can't make fun of her.

her comments were a theme regarding the domination of the LNP by men. women make up around half of the population, and are under represented in the LNP party room. thats what she was talking about. pity we don't have a news service capable of understanding that.. or capable of telling the truth for that matter.

no amount of blue tie drivel can cancel out brough and hockey being sprung so badly 🙂

Can't you see the difference Cat?

Can you imagine a man that can only eat a half cup of food due to gastric banding eating a deep fried quail??? 

and Foie Gras?  

omg.. he would be so sick with all that heavy fatty food. 

I can't imagine anyone eating a deep fried quail.

At the very least I hope that the quail was tunnel-boned and that they had removed the Gillards giblets!

Oh please, Get real. There is no comparison.

Talk about blue ties and a woman's box is not the same.

How can people even pretend it's in the same league?

LL - are you saying that it is JH responsibility that the menu was printed in this way ?

I bet he had (like most others) no idea what was on the menu and if and when he read it he probably decided to ignore it so it would not be head line news as it has become.

better to find out who is responsible for writing the menu and not laying blame on someone who did not.
