Bitches and hoes
A trilogy of sexual discrimination based inter-connected stories hit the news this week.The first was from Oz, and concerned the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard. Apparently, Julia was ousted from her role after posing as housewife, knitting a toy kangaroo as a present for William and Kate's imminent offspring. It appears that Julia is imagined to lack "home making" instincts, thus the photograph appeared "contrived".(mail on line). Some say though that the reason she went was because Australian men are allegedly "anti-woman" with deep set prejudices; indeed Julia was asked on a radio station if her partner was gay, given he is a hairdresser, which is apparently considered to be a feminine role down under.
