Sorry, there’s only enough room for token feminists within Labors ranks, as Emily's List wont endorse (or politically fund) males or other minorities.

There are no women aside from Bishop - otherwise they'd already be in his cabinet. As far as males being sacrificed to make way for a woman - of course Abbott the misogynist wouldn't consider such a thing.
Why can't we criticise the Abbott ministry? You lot have had the pleasure of denigrating the Labor government for the past six years.
Abbott isn't going to be excluded from criticism while he's in office. He will be targeted regularly and not just by a few members on a tiny little forum.

No female candidates? No women were elected by Australia?
If Australia don't want women in politics or if no women wanted to enter politics then how is that Abbotts fault. Is he meant to force women into politics?

Do you have any evidence of misogyny?

There was plenty of incompetence to highlight and criticise.
Please list what incompentencies that the Abbott ministry has produced.

Makes a big difference to the red carpet treatment that the media gave Julia Gillard. And when criticism was levelled at her incompent performances Gillard was not able to respond execept with 'please excuse me for I am only a female and therefore exempt"

What's wrong tantymanty? Tony Abbott isn't even sworn in yet and you are already abusing him.
Why?
It wouldn't be because you are biased, would it?

Gillards cry: If you criticise my performance then you are sexist.
If you criticise Abbott's performance then you are sexist.

Please remind me as to which politician abused a female airline steward.
And which politician abused a female hairdresser.
If that action of abuse towards women is acceptable then Abbott is god's gift to women.

Ruddy's abuse has always been overlooked in favour of what's in Abbott's speedos
