I’ve never demanded the dis-endorsement of anyone.

The menu was school boy pathetic.

Gillard’s comments were a dam disgrace.

But Mr Yay, you said:

Brough was responsible for it, and Hockey was there guffawing at its contents.

Yep……and?

Kick ‘em out, I couldn’t care less. Pathetic schoolboy crap.

But not in anyway does that excuse PM Gillard’s mad ravings.

She sounds like the unhinged dam loops on here.

OH ITS A CONSPIRACY THEORY NOW IS IT?

When Julia accuses Tony of sexism, it's not about whether Tony's policies or comments are actually sexist. Julia is talking about herself, not Tony. It has more to do with Julia feeling like a victim than Tony being an oppressor.

Yet, that's the reasoning behind victimhood in the workplace and in government. If someone feels they are a victim of sexism, racism or some other kind of discriminatory behaviour, bullying or harassment, then that is sufficient. It doesn't matter what the "oppressor" actually said or did.

For example, if you're a man and start doing things that are unintentionally annoying to a woman or you somehow end up in the same places as her, she might think you're harassing, following or stalking her. It doesn't matter if you have no intention of harassing, following or stalking, that you somehow said or did things, by coincidence, that made her uncomfortable. If she thinks it's sexual harassment, it's sexual harassment. If she thinks you're stalking her, you're stalking her. It doesn't matter what you think, it doesn't matter why you said or did what you did. What matters is how she feels.

What exists in the victim's mind is what matters, not that of the alleged oppressor.

I'm not saying it's wrong, because sometimes the "victim" really does feel that way, and you can't be sure. You just have to believe them.

Oh it always avoids any acceptance of wrongdoing and is always a sweep under the carpet. He needs to tell Brough to piss off. And Hockey needs to be chastised as he should've known better.

So do all politicians on both sides and society in general do this kind of rubbish (do we have to bring up the rubbish from the union convention ??? that many ALP MP attended and watched)

This is all womens weekly type rubbish hardly worth mentioning.

Abbott could run around parliament house naked and still get elected ..... might even give him a poll bounce

or a woman who has to deal with this crap every day. Don't get me wrong, I was the same as you yesterday. When I read the news yesterday I rolled my eyes and say, "oh not again."  But today really shows to me exactly what the boys club in parliament and within poltiical realms really does, and what she does in fact have to put up with. I support her and this particular incident has only too well proven to me at least that here we are yet again with men of the 1960s.  Enough is enough. When will they learn? Why was there nothing about perhaps, "Brough's Banana Split - a shriveled miniature dessert that won't satisfy?"  Why do we never see that? But we constantly see the same crap relating to women's breasts or thighs, or just general disregard? It has to stop. And it has to stop by telling people that the excuse of "I didn't see it" is no longer good enough.
