Julia Gillard

I love this video, I love it. I sometimes listen to it just to get myself in a better mood, for inspiration. I'm listening to it as I'm typing this.

I’m sure it’s highly likely that Julia is a bad PM, I’m not that up to speed on Australian domestic politics to be able to judge whether or not she does a good job. I do however know that she is not a bad PM because she’s a woman. However women aren’t judge by the same standards as men. You know it, I know it, we all know it and it's boring. But it’s true and it makes a difference and so I’m gonna write about it. Julia Gillard get's a lot of shit, as any PM should, but Julia get a lot of shit for being a woman. 

Julia is being critised for a photo shoot in which she is knitting, she is critised for this apparently is too much of a female stereotype which she should take distance from. Make up your damn minds, she's critised for being a woman, she's critised for not being a woman enough, and now she's critised for having a hobby which typically associated with old aunts.

Where's the critisim of any typical male hobbies? Have you ever heard of a male politician being critised for having a too male of a hobby? Like WTF?

To brighten your moods here's a list of some more dickish behaviour. It's hard to not feel like I'm better than you when you behave like this. Clearly none of these men have had the pleasure of being trained by a woman to be a proper human being like stupid little children that you are.

There will only be equality when female traits are regarded as valued and respected as any of the dicking around that guys get up to, and when we are judged by the same standards rather than by our genders. Until then I will most definitely mock and belittle you and think you are less worthy of my respect.
