John, Thanks for drawing this to our attention in your nicely observed piece. You’re quite right, misogyny is still rife in our society and those who should know better including politicians and the media throw in personal invective some examples of which you have noted. I consider this behaviour quite disgraceful.
Among our politicians what happened to courtesy and professional respect? I was glad to see Gail Kelly speaking out in support of Julia Gillard a couple of days ago, haven’t seen too many examples of that recently but then I don’t always bother to sift through the garbage that the media dishes out to find the balanced comment.
