Well, Tony Abbott is a complete arsehole, and sexist to boot, but, sensu strictu, not a misogynist...

But she did her best to tear him a new one...

I watched the whole thing the other day. She really did rip into him! The UK Parliament is very rough and tumble but it is very rarely as personal as that!

Anyway he looked like he deserved it.

Then there was a previous Labour opposition leader, Mark Latham:

Mark Latham has used some colourful language during his time as a Labor parliamentarian, including the following:


"Hand in your badge, Adolf."
- directed at former immigration minister Philip Ruddock.

"Howard is an arse-licker. He went over there, kissed some bums, and got patted on the head."
- description of Prime Minister John Howard's trip to the United States.

"That deformed character Tony Staley."
- description of disabled former Liberal Party president.

"If he didn't steal my property he wouldn't have any injuries, so I've done the bare minimum to chase him, to tackle him, to pick up my bag and retrieve the stolen property."
- outlining how he broke the arm of a Sydney taxi driver.

"There they are, a conga line of suckholes on the conservative side of politics."
- on Coalition support for the war in Iraq.

Or former PM, Paul Keating:

On John Howard "The little desiccated coconut is under pressure and he is attacking anything he can get his hands on"

On John Howard "What we have got is a dead carcass, swinging in the breeze, but nobody will cut it down to replace him."

On Wilson Tuckey: "You boxhead you wouldn't know. You are flat out counting past ten."

On John Hewson: "(His performance) is like being flogged with a warm lettuce."

On Andrew Peacock: "We're not interested in the views of painted, perfumed gigolos."

The ancestry shines through you see.

"...particularly in feminist language".

I am so glad I am not a young lad growing up these days. They're so intent in turning sexism into misogyny that it's offensive and liable to backfire in the long run. Still since we are doing this crap... Feminism, particularly in rationalist language, means the whining of little spoilt princesses with rape fantasies and a hatred of men who aren't daddy.
