Aussie PM Feigning Misogyny to Divide a Nation

I'm the Prime Minister of this country. I am literally the most powerful person in Australia, but I am still a victim.

The really troubling implication of the showdown in parliament this week is that the Prime Minister will now misrepresent any criticisms of her performance and the performance of her government as examples of sexism and misogyny. She will play this card, even if it is the lowest trick in the book, constantly portraying herself as a helpless victim.

Isn't this the same woman who basically affirmative actioned her way into being Prime Minister?

I don't think that Tony Abbott did say anything that I would consider misogynistic, but who are we kidding? He has made sexist comments in the past, as well as racist ones. Not only were his comments offensive to women and Aboriginals, but remember the 'shit happens' debacle, showing a blatant lack of empathy for the plight of young men risking their lives for his government?

I know this is Men's Rights and we're here for exactly that, but that doesn't mean we can't give women some ground on some issues. Julia Gillard maybe went a step too far labelling it misogyny, but she did have every right to call him out on his sexist bullshit.
