Half of Hawke's last term was just Keating running things while Bob was depressed and drunk.

I don't know much political history but Gillard has probably been the best in the last 40 years at least.

i'm not woke, i'm a woman irl and men randomly hating me for no reason has been a thing i've experienced and contemplated at great length. perhaps it's neurological, perhaps it's learnt behaviour, but men trust and value the testimony of other men more than women from a very early age unless they're specifically taught not to do so. if sexism wasn't innate to men, it would be confined to only some cultures - but it's not, it's global, and there's no other way to explain that

and if you are in fact now backing down on that position (I don't believe you are but I'll take you at face value for a moment) then at least have the honesty to say so explicitly rather than to try and bury it in a bunch of other poo poo. you'll get no disagreement from me that we should be aiming to create a better mode of society (hint: it's communism) but that's not going to happen by attacking the symptoms of the problem. rubes like you are extremely susceptible to being suckered by woke rainbow capitalism because it has evolved to the point of being able to discard outmoded forms of control like bigotry across social lines

actually you're right, i'll stop saying "biological" because i don't think that's quite the word i need, thanks

there is a thing where men trust other men more than women. it starts showing when boys are like 2 unless they're very carefully socialised against it, and it seems to happen across cultures. i actually don't know what it is, or where it comes from, i have no studies to cite or anything besides anecdotal evidence and no idea what word to use to describe it.

i'm sorry that this sounds so much like "women like pink because they evolved to pick berries" biotruthing. i really don't hate men. i love men, that's kind of why i still post itt. i don't think you're all ravening ogres. but there is a growing trend all around the world of men hating women, it shows in domestic violence statistics and in the balance of political corporate power, that really scares me, and as someone who hasn't studied much sociology or science i can only really talk about it in the language that i have

lol Gillards first act as PM after couping Rudd was to meet with mining company reps to assure them that they weren't going to do Rudd's Super Profits Tax. the only reason her govt did anything remotely good was because she led a minority govt and had to convince the only decent people in parliament to vote side with them.

so i'll leave out the bits that are just wrong because the details are less important than the overall picture, which is that the liberal capitalist world system is failing (it has always failed the vast majority of the population but the cracks are really starting to widen to an extent that can't be papered over). the psychological trauma of mistreatment and inequality is worsening, and manifesting in all sorts of really lovely ways. think of it in the way we think about abused kids that turn into bullies by misdirecting their feelings onto other kids.

yeah me too

anyway you're actually right, i confess, that is a side of the problem that i hadn't really thought about and one that i have very little insight into. please understand, violent misogyny is a problem i want to comprehend in as many ways as possible, so thank you for this. societal support systems were something i was actively encouraged to avoid, so i know nothing about them or the many ways in which they fail, so that is a huge gap in my knowledge that i kind of wasn't even aware of until you pointed it out

i'll come back with my new revised "all men are sexist from birth" argument soon, stay tuned

Do you think that "imperialism and globalisation homogenised patriarchal cultures across the world" is an insufficient/less likely explanation so much so that "all men are sexists as newborns" is more plausible?
