Three Australian politicians are currently complaining about misogyny & sexism. But -
@JacintaAllanMP, the Victorian Labor premier, has men in women’s prisons, school girls not drinking water and women punished for not accepting men as women.
@AlboMP, the Australian prime minister, has called the destruction of women’s rights a “culture war”, ignoring pleas to ensure women have rights & protections in federal legislation.
@JuliaGillard, during her time as the first women prime minister, removed the definition of women from war, igniting the “culture war”.
Calling out misogyny & sexism when it impacts you while ignoring Australian women & girls who are experiencing ideological & institutional misogyny & sexism on a daily basis is not a good look and it simply highlights the hypocrisy. It confirms our suspicion that you only care about yourselves.
If you’re going to cry misogyny & sexism, first make sure that you’re not a perpetrator of it.
