I found this article on Crikey if anyone is interested in the whole "Macquarie's changing their definition of 'misogyny'" thing.

A perfect summary of what has been flogged to near death in this thread.
But without the Hillary Clinton reference and debate on the subject 4 years ago.

I didn't know Q&A took questions from members of this forum...? :boxedin:

I liked Nash' comment on the budget surplus. That made me laugh.
It might even make the cut.

= Senator Fiona Nash :

...budget surplus ‘a mythical accounting trick popular with voters’’.

A good read on Abbott's record as health minister :)

Tony Abbott is a misogynist, however the dictionary defines it

Another good read.

This is my pick for the quote du jour de l'heure:


If being a feminist does not simply equate to liking women, misogyny is not a mere feeling of hatred towards them. It is an attempt to prevent women controlling their own lives, or an attempt to shame them out of participating in public life à la Alan Jones.

Repeating a lie often and loudly still doesn't make it true. But let's hang him anyway.

It would be interesting for anyone to show how Abbott has in anyway attempted to:

"... attempt to prevent women controlling their own lives, or an attempt to shame them out of participating in public life..."

That would constitute misogyny I reckon.

Quote mining is easy, explanations are a little harder.

I linked to the entire speech, and you didn't even bother to click on it. A contemptuous, hateful man. A friend of Alan Jones. The worst (by far) Opposition Leader ever. Unlike Gillard, he should be looking over his shoulder. He's only a poor poll result away from Turnbull challenging.

That was the entire thrust of the article that bit_pattern linked to and from which I extracted the quote.

Have you ever considered reading these links before attempting to denigrate them?

So does everyone else.

You appear to be catching on.

Alfie, do you accept that Abbott is on the pro-life side of the abortion debate?

I would have thought so; being a Catholic and all.
 
So wouldn't that mean that his pro-life position, which is taking the choice of having an abortion away from the affected woman, is an attempt to prevent women from "controlling their own lives"?
