"I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man, I will not. And the government will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man. Not now, not ever. The leader of the opposition says that people who hold sexist views and who are misogynists are not appropriate for high office. Well, I hope the leader of the opposition has got a piece of paper and he is writing out his resignation. Because if he wants to know what misogyny looks like in modern Australia, he doesn't need a motion in the house of representatives, he needs a mirror."

When a woman stands up to a man she is "gutsy" did she expect to get beaten? - ian-hill, Oct 16, 2012

Did she expect to...nowadays I wouldn't put that past anyone...and you're right, there are those that hate men, but the issues here, in this post, are about the problems that women face. This is not saying that there are not legitimate issues involving - rac1, Oct 17, 2012

Women who set a low value on themselves make life hard for all women.

Las mujeres que asignan un valor bajo a si mismas crean una vida difícil para todas las mujeres.


Boy, have you got that right.

We, as women, must set a high standard of how we are treated by the world and demand that everyone live up to that universal standard.

No matter if a woman is the President of Microsoft or a local prostitute, she must insist on the respect she deserves and maintain her dignity by believing in herself. We have the power to do anything we wish for...hard word and determination are the key.

Another key to the success of woman as a whole is to stop the competition amongst ourselves and create a tight-knit cooperation. With that commitment to solidarity women would be unstoppable.

Changing common attitudes is the goal---Not only men but women many times don't give themselves enough credit for what they accomplish on a daily basis. There are "Super Women" who work outside the home, take care of the children, clean the house, cook, and cater to a husband. This, sadly, is considered "normal" for a woman, yet, when a man does it he's called "amazing and extraordinary."

Once woman recognize their true power, as individuals and as a group, the world will change dramatically.

I think that Women have had their power systematically stolen by men. They used to take care of us a heal us with their knowledge of plants. They made us clothes, shelter and medicine. In mans jealosy and greed he took their power and their body and made money. Now we have no hearth, no home. Our Women are forced to work. When women do stand together and get their power back, I hope they are more compasionate than men have been.

Me parece que, hoy día, en Europa las mujeres tengan el poder y los hombres no son hombres nada más. La mujer toma todas las deciciones importantes, como donde vivir, si tener hijos , o no, cuando tener hijos, adonde ir para vacaciones etc . El hombre puede, a mejor comprar el coche ( en el color elegido por su mujer).

It seems to me, here in Europe, nowadays, the women have all the power and men aren't men any more. The woman takes all the important decisions, such as where to live, if and when to have children, where to go on holiday etc. The man may, at the most, buy the car ( in his wife's preffered colour).

It would be nice to see a balance of power. Maybe that's just an ideal that's out of reach for most. - rheit, Oct 16, 2012

You noticed that too my Scandinavian friend_ Scandinavian women never had to have a feminist movement they just assumed they were equal. No need to continually tell men how bad they are. - ian-hill, Oct 16, 2012

This is very true for women Ray but also true for men. Over recent decades men - especially younger men - have been repeatedly told that they are not as smart as women. They have been told that they can not multitask, are chauvenistic, that they are bad lovers, they are useless fathers, that they never help with the housework, are bad students, self centered and don't know where the G spot is or what women want (why does someone not tell them?). They have even been told that soon they will be "surplus to requirements".

They have been told repeatedly that a "new" man is needed - well my father was a "new"man 70 years ago. Many traditional "male" occupations have disappeared and not been replaced with new ones and it is not surprising that many younger men wonder what they are here for and what their role in society is.

Many attributes originally asscociated with men have disppeared from language - Gallantry, Loyalty, Bravery, Chivallry, Vision, Steadfastness, Strength, Reliability even Romantic (the most romantic poets, writers and artists were men).

Girls have always been better in traditional schools because classical teaching methods are better suited to girls. That has been know for generations. I am glad I am not a young man anymore. I could not take it. Soon we will need equal rights for men.

I forgot that men are promiscuous - may I ask who they are promiscuous with?

I am going to bed now - I have a head ache. Maybe one of the far more competent ladies on SD can correct my SPANISH. Pretty please.


Esto es muy cierto para las mujeres Ray, pero también cierto para los hombres. Durante las últimas décadas, los hombres - sobre todo los más jóvenes - han dicho repetidamente que no son tan inteligentes como las mujeres. Se les ha dicho que no se pueden realizar múltiples tareas, son chauvenistic, que son malos amantes, son inútiles padres, que nunca se ayudan con las tareas domésticas, son malos estudiantes, egocéntrico y no sé dónde está el punto G es o lo que las mujeres quiere (¿por qué no alguien les diga?). Incluso han dicho que pronto serán "exceden de las necesidades".

Se les ha dicho repetidamente que un "nuevo" hombre que se necesita - y mi padre era un hombre "nuevo" 70 años. Muchos tradicionales ocupaciones "masculinas" han desaparecido y no han sido sustituidos por otros nuevos, y no es sorprendente que muchos hombres jóvenes se preguntan por qué están aquí y cuál es su papel en la sociedad.

Muchos atributos originalmente asscociated con los hombres han disppeared del idioma - Gallantry,Lealtad, Valentía, Chivallry, Visión, Firme, Fuerte, segura incluso Romántico (los poetas más románticos, escritores y artistas eran hombres).

Las muchachas siempre han sido mejor en las escuelas tradicionales, ya que los métodos clásicos de enseñanza se adaptan mejor a las niñas. Esto ha sido conocido por generaciones. Me alegro de que no soy un hombre joven. Yo no podía soportarlo. Pronto tendremos los mismos derechos para los hombres.

Me voy a la cama ahora - Tengo un dolor de cabeza.

Me olvidé de que los hombres son promiscuo - se puede saber con quiénes son promiscuos?

Ian you are correct in all you say, you and i are from a different generation, one which taught us to respect women and treat them with deference , it was never wrong to help out in the home, my father did, and I was always a " househusband", but today there is a role reversal and most guys ,and women for that matter have not learned how to adjust to that , they eventually will, and all will be well . I think that we will sort out those who want the old fashioned system and those the new , and then the ballance and acceptance will be there . I love a strong independent woman , not a doormat , my mother bless her, taught me that .

It's difficult. For the most part, if I want my children to eat, I cook. If I want my children to wear clothing, I go buy clothing. If I want my house clean, I clean. I've always thought, in a way, I have become more dependent on myself because I have a husband. I asked my husband once, do you ever feel guilty as you sit on the couch at night watching TV for hours while I'm cleaning, cooking, and trying to get ready for tomorrow?" He grinned at me and said, "No."

-

I love my husband, but if something ever happened to him, I would never marry again. I would never choose to give someone that kind of power over me again. And I should say, he's no bum. He works. He's a great father. I have a great life. And even with all that, I still come to the same conclusion.

-

If this makes even one young husband think, my post has been worth the time.

Women are their own worst enemy. One woman who believes in herself can change the world. There would be nothing man could do to stop her. Man does not defeat us, we defeat ourselves. Until we realize our full potential, believe in ourselves and each other, we will never make a difference in the world, not now, not ever.

Former prime minister Julia Gillard says Australians would have been more outraged at her treatment as a woman if she were black.

In a lengthy interview conducted while Ms Gillard was still Labor leader and published in the latest The Monthly, Ms Gillard said politics had become more combative, particularly in recent years under minority government in Australia.

''Is the stuff against Barack Obama because he's African American? ... Or would they have played as hard as that against any successful Democrat? Well, I suspect it's a bit of both,'' she said.

''I think some of the stuff about me, because it is about gender, gets glossed over more easily.''

“If I was the first Indigenous prime minister, and Abbott had gone out and stood next to a sign that said, ‘Ditch the black bastard,’ I reckon that would be the end of a political career. And I even think, with all the nutty stuff you see in American politics, if a Republican went and stood next to a sign that said ‘Ditch the black bastard’ about President Obama, that would end a political career. And it’s not less because it’s gender. But it’s been treated as less.”--"Abbot is the opposition leader "
