He compares her to another Senate member on committees who rarely turns up for meetings, Nick Xenophon. To criticize a wammen is considered sexist, misogyny and hate speech. Such wammen need equality rammed down their necks. Hypocritical double standards.

It’s kind of how you can’t be racist against white people, you can be prejudiced but not racist. It’s the same with sexism, it favours the oppressed, the undervalued and ignored, which in the grand scheme of things is unfortunately women. Sorry, but it’s called male privilege for a reason.

What a real man is, is not for women to define.

No, but it's for a human being. A human being who can clearly evaluate the normal operations of another logical human being, exercise that logic, and call out those who refuse to utilize it. Men do not possess a hive mind that women cannot access. As human beings women can understand when men are being unreasonable just as men can understand women are being unreasonable.
