The world is awash with the story that Julia Gillard stood up for women’s rights in the Australian Parliament yesterday against the “misogynist” Opposition leader. Here’s an alternate opinion, one that confirms that this tirade had nothing to do with sexism, & everything to do with politics. Keep in mind that her own Speaker was forced to resign yesterday because of his “references” to women’s genitalia, & this was the best show that the PM could put considering she didn’t have a leg to stand on during question time”. She now is down to a 1-vote majority.
