So has Rudd's failure sullied the opportunity for men in the future?
A politician's shortcomings, be they real or merely perceived, may sully the opportunities for their party, but in a supposedly non-sexist society, what should any of that have to do with gender?
Anybody notice the demise of our last PM, or feel like giving him some equal thread space?
I think there is more than a touch of matriarchal , dare I suggest, resonant sexism here, even perhaps a few cathartic posts.

What a load of rubbish.
She had more strength than most men and women.
As I've said before, it was not her talking about sexism. It was the people observing the blatant sexist attacks talking about it.
She did not react. She did take it in her stride. And she certainly did not sully the opportunity for any women in the future.
Do some research with an open mind!

MM I really can't discuss sexism or misogyny with you. I remember when my older son came home from hospital after an appendectomy one Friday morning and my younger son also arrived home from year 7 camp with gastroenteritis (most likely food poisoning) in the afternoon.
I was panic stricken because I was worried that older son would get it when he still had stitches.
All you bothered to read was that younger son had spewed in his bedroom and you told me "You're a mother, clean it up."
That was your bmw rider ID
