And boys.
Yeah.
It's about everyone that truck passes in Melbourne and people internalising this idea that there are certain insults that are reserved solely for women and they are designed to entirely demonise your character and to basically suggest the fact that you're wholly evil.
And the fact that the idea that it's not sexist, you just think, well, why doesn't that ever get lobbed at Albanese?
Why does that never get lobbed at?
No, he hasn't.
It just doesn't have the same ring to it.
And I just think the way we criticise male and female politicians matters because why would you occupy a public space where
Why would you strive for that role if you know that you are going to be subject to a different level of criticism and a different, just a different temperature of debate?
Like, I think it's really important.
Jacinta Allen said, basically, we need to call out the line because otherwise the line just keeps moving.
And to explain why it's sexist in the first place when it feels like that should...
go without saying.
But I think a lot of people, because a lot of women in politics have made statements about this in the last few days, and as well as the State Attorney General, Sonia Kilkenny, who said...
Basically, you shouldn't have to accept abuse and misogyny as part of your job.
And you can disagree with a politician.
You do not have to vote for Jacinta Allen.
You do not have to kind of tiptoe around her or pretend that you endorse all her policies because she's a woman.
But there is a difference between criticising someone and engaging with democracy that way and the kind of contemptuous way
way we speak about people who are women, people of colour, people with disabilities, like anybody who just doesn't fit the mould of what we expect.
