This blog kills fascists. Eventually. It's a process I'm working on. Be patient with me.

Australian PM Julia Gillard calls out the Oppostion's Misogyny
It's a shame I didn't get to this sooner, but it's a fierce, well-spoken, detailed and particular call-out regarding the bullshit she and other women have put up with from the sort of jackass who needs to drag gender up and throw shade at women for being in politics whilst female, amongst other grievance.
She's not perfect, nor necessarily a feminist role model, and she falls short in my book for not supporting marriage equality (but perhaps there's room for evolution?)--but I don't follow Australian politics closely enough to say anything other than I really do admire this dressing-down, and Tony Abbot is truly only smiling on the outside as the recipient of the brunt of it.

We have to hope for incremental change. Hopefully, she'll inspire younger women to become more political, and to further push for the expansion of social justice for all persons.
