Sexist Attitudes Towards PM
Feb 6^th, 2012 at 9:05pm

Bob Brown’s sexist commentators?

Greens leader Bob Brown has accused male commentators, reports the ABC, of making sexist criticisms of the Prime Minister. Senator Brown says the Nielsen poll reflects his belief that public support for Ms Gillard is growing, but he believes she is battling sexist criticism in the media. ”It’s probably all subconscious, but it is sexist and quite ridiculous,” he said.

Whenever a minority or female is being criticised, pull the sex, race, gay, midget, ethnic card.

How many reporters have asked Abbott, how many times he cries?

Sexism in reporting?

Put up or shut up.

I have forward a thread on you hard righters, and why you are hard right ... no one has given a good argument why The Greens are anything except progressive centre left.

And I highly doubt it's subconscious, as Bob Brown suggests. How many male politicians have their fertility or decisions not to have children used against them ?

The Greens are Communists, plain and simple. You think that all, or at least most, rigties on here are far-left. All that you posted was a wiki page.

Where is your proof that Greens are communists

This is a claim without facts.

Greens four pillars include Grassroot democracy ... this disproves your claim.

Greens have a policy on an Australian Bill of Rights ... more proof we are not a communist party.

Now try again and this time, try and back up your claims with a little bit of an argument.

Today's society.

Sexist.

PS - For my mind the best Prime Minister that we ever had in Great Britain was a woman.

Blair wasn't a women

He also wasnt even in the top 5 best PM's we've had in Britain.
