The composer is a friend of a friend, although I don't know him personally (if you want to be rude about the music I won't be offended).

is the link.

Great speech. Not now, not ever. Fuck off Abbott.

A great choral rendering of Julia Gillard's Misogyny Speech to and about Abbott (who indeed can fuck off, the Rampant Misogynist). I think she completely got done over in the media; by her government, as well as the Opposition at the time; and by the society at large in Australia. Australia is not ready for a female Prime Minister, and it will be some time before they are (I am Australian btw).

SticksOutLikeDogsBalls · 28/09/2014 01:06

Sorry Zazzz, totally disagree. The Australian public didn't hate her because she was female. They hated her because she was a lying backstabbing (I could go on for ages!!) bitch :)

Zazzles007 · 28/09/2014 01:25

That's fine you can disagree with me if you like. I don't give a shit about what you think. Your post makes you sound like you are a hand maiden of the patriarchy as well. Good luck with that.

Zazzles007 · 28/09/2014 01:28

Or, if you are male, you post sounds like that of a misogynist/MRA. Again, good luck with that.

Zazzles007 · 28/09/2014 01:30

Its interesting, do you immediately assume that all women are lying, backstabbing bitches? Is that a default assumption that you make about all women? Are you married to a woman, or are you a woman yourself? I suggest that you look at your own beliefs about women and start to question them deeply, because your post belies a deeply misogynistic steak about you. Yuck.

Zazzles007 · 28/09/2014 01:33

And the little smiley at the end of your post belies a patronizing attitude to my post which is just so highly offensive. I hypothesize that you are a male/MRA who has come onto FWR to "tell the little women how to think." If you are male, this pic is just for you:

I also suspect that you are a misogynistic Australian male. If you are, there is help available. I would suggest taking advantage of the Employee Assistance Program through your work - you can get 4 free psychological counseling session per year at your discretion. At least it is a cheap way to work out why you have this misogynistic streak about you. Request a female who is good at working through sexism/misogyny, and start figuring out why you think so little of women. I have already written about the sexism and misogyny which is rife in Australian culture elsewhere on MN, and it appears you typify that culture whole-heartedly. Very sad for you, and for Australian women that have to come in contact with you.

Abbott should kill himself violently and publicly in my opinion. A kind of very enthusiastic condemnation of bullshit masculinity, if you like.

Zazzles007 · 28/09/2014 03:25

Abbott is the poster-boy of the Australian sexist, misogynistic, racist, and homophobic way of life in Australia. A friend once said "I can't believe we have [this idiot] leading our country, why can't he do better? He is making a mockery of Australia in international politics." I gently said to her "I think he actually is doing his best, its just that his best is truly crap." She had a lightbulb moment, and we went onto discuss other feminist things.

Zazzles007 · 28/09/2014 03:34

Oh, I have just had a thought, Abbott is the Prime Minister of Mortifying Dickheads! Grin

differentnameforthis · 28/09/2014 03:57

Shock at this thread...or one poster on it...

scallopsrgreat · 28/09/2014 16:55

Oh the irony of saying a woman isn't hated for being female and then calling her a lying, backstabbing bitch. Tis the gaslighting patriarchy in action Grin.

I don't know much about Abbott other than what I see on Twitter but that's frightening enough. Mortifying Dickhead is appropriate.

"A kind of very enthusiastic condemnation of bullshit masculinity, if you like." Grin

YonicScrewdriver · 28/09/2014 18:14

Isn't politics notorious for lying and backstabbing?

YonicScrewdriver · 28/09/2014 18:14

Or is that just House of Cards Grin?

Buzkashi · 28/09/2014 18:28

Um, wow, Zazzles. That wasn't over the top at all. I can't comment much but I agree with fuck off Abbott! Don't like Gillard one bit though (especially her stance on same sex marriage).

Zazzles007 · 28/09/2014 22:18

They hated her because she was a lying backstabbing (I could go on for ages!!) bitch

Because this is the sort of misogynistic BULLSHIT that FWR has to put up with. I have found that the best way to shut these idiots up is to aim the gun at them. Next time one appears on FWR, I am happy to send them over to you to deal with.

And not only that the above line quoted from that poster is a well known sexist media spin that was put on Julia Gillard simply for daring to be a female in male world of Australian politics. Unless you know that, you wouldn't understand insult that the above poster was putting forward.
