Sexism against women in politics should always be condemned.
But women are also being told they can’t raise concerns about safety, privacy, sport, and single-sex spaces without being dismissed or treated as if the discussion itself is unacceptable.
That contradiction is exactly why trust in political debate is breaking down.
If women’s voices are only respected when they agree with the prevailing view, that isn’t equality — it’s control of the conversation.
Consistency is the real test.
If demeaning and disregarding women is truly unacceptable, then that standard should be applied consistently.
For years, Australian women have raised concerns about female-only spaces, women’s sport, women’s safety, and the right to speak openly about sex-based rights. Too often, those women have been dismissed, smeared, ridiculed, or ignored by political leaders and activists who claim to champion equality.
Condemning personal attacks against women is the bare minimum. The real test is whether you defend women when it is politically inconvenient to do so.
Women are not protected by slogans or selective outrage. They are protected when their concerns are heard, their rights are respected, and their voices are not silenced for failing to follow the approved narrative.
If respect for women matters, then it must apply to all women—not just the ones whose views align with the government.
Does AI art make physical art pointless? What are your thoughts? 🧠🧐
A physical artist can’t match the output of AI artists.
Of all the “jobs” I thought AI would make obsolete, artist wasn’t on my list.

@elonmusk It’s so hard raising kids in all this and teaching them how to fact check. I was thrilled yesterday when my 7yo asked me if she could google “Gorilla hail” to see if it was a real thing or made up. Take the wins where you can get them hey.
