FEMINISM SCRAPBOOK - the wonderful Julia Gillard on her "misogny speech"

('I will not be lectured on sexism and misogyny by this man, I will not. Because if he wants to know what misogyny looks like in modern Australia, he doesn't need a motion in the House of Representatives, he needs a mirror.')

'If I was the first Indigenous prime minister, and Abbott had gone out and stood next to a sign that said, ‘Ditch the black bastard,’ I reckon that would be the end of a political career.' (Gillard in Murphy, 2013).
