9 Reasons Why Tony Abbott Is The Worst Australian Prime Minister In History (And He Only Just Got The Job)

8. His Mindset On Women Is Permanently Stuck In The 1950s

Now that statement right there is all the proof I need as a real "man" who lives in 21st Century Australia to conclude that this guy is unfit to be a leader of anyone, except maybe as President for the Anti Suffrage League. To even propose that the whole ideology of "no means no" could somehow be construed as a woman's right that could and should be moderated (not to mention revoked) is not only an offense to me but to any self respecting woman on the face of the earth that is currently not being downtrodden by a religious majority. Let us not forget his views on Abortion as well. "Abortion is the easy way out. It's hardly surprising that people should choose the most convenient exit from awkward situations.""The problem with the Australian practice of Abortion is that an objectively grave matter has been reduced to a question of a mothers convenience." Are you serious bro? I have to say, I don't see any woman, regardless of her situation, seeing something like being pregnant as just an issue of convenience. If they did then I would definitely support Pro Choice as that girl is obviously unfit to be a mother. Although that did not stop Tony Abbott and his mates within the Howard administration to bring in the "baby bonus", a policy that was all about having babies for the convenience of a lump sum payment. And it is this reason that I will never support a female Liberal candidate unless major reform takes place within the confines of the party backroom. Because I cannot and will not believe that any women who is proud of her heritage as a member of the female species could stand behind a man who makes a comment like this, unless of course they themselves are being oppressed in some way. Why not ask Fiona Scott and how he told people to vote on her purely on the basis of her "sex appeal?" Can you trust a women to lead when she had an opportunity to slap this sexist right in the face after such an inappropriate comment? Take for instance this infamous quote from our illustrious leader. "While I think men and women are equal, they are also different and I think it's inevitable and I don't think it's a bad thing at all that we always have, say, more women doing things like physiotherapy and an enormous number of women simply doing housework." 2010 That was said in 2010. As in the 21st Century. It seems I may have a case against the creators of Star Trek because they promised me this type of thinking no longer existed in the future. And it's not like he has been silent on his archaic views regarding equality for women either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quFA3CrcELI Now a lot of you out there use the argument that "how can you be sexist when you have a wife and 3 daughters?" Let me explain to you how, the EXACT SAME WAY men everywhere were known for treating their female family members back in say, the 1950's. Men have quite the long and documented history when it comes to treating women with the same manner as the dog turd stuck to the heel of their boots (Which will also be discussed in greater detail later). And let's talk about Tony Abbotts wife since the Tony lovers like to bring her into this argument every time the sexism card is played out. Let me ask my Australian readers out there. Of all the years Tony Abbott has been in politics, how many times have you actually seen his wife by his side? Think hard. Because in all the years I have seen him on the campaign trail for any position of power I have seen him trot out his wife twice. And both of those times were as part of the 2010 and 2013 election race to become PM respectively. Now where exactly has she been during his whole career before 2010 I ask you? Because from what I can see she has been stuck in the kitchen for that whole time while Tony did his thing. His daughters, forget about it. They don't even get that much respect. The only time he has ever trotted them out for display was during the 2013 election and even then he went out of his way to show not only how much of a sexist he is but how creepy the guy really is. Lets hear his election pitch to the Big Brother Household, Australia Edition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmyoRNL0hrQ This guy treats his own daughters as if they are freakin' hood ornaments or his own personal trophy collection. From personal experience I know what a bad parent is and I can assure you, ANY FATHER who would refer to his own flesh and blood like this not only is a horrible excuse for a parent but should quite possibly be under investigation by the Department of Community Services. Because if he was just anybody talking on the street like that I am sure they would receive similar treatment from at least one member of the public. But the irony of it all is, when a woman finally calls him out on it, no one bats an eyelid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihd7ofrwQX0 How did this guy get into power if you assume half the population of Australia is female? How is it that ANY self respecting female could support the Liberal Party with this guy as it's leader? Women can be so frustrating.

Passions in life: Movies, Music and Wrestling....My childhood was spent growing up in the "Outback" of Australia (I'm a little bit country) and my adulthood resided within the city limits (I'm a little bit rock and roll), so you could say that I am the best (or worst) of both worlds. A 6 foot 7 ex wannabe pro wrestler (whose career was cut short due to a busted back, NOT caused by wrestling) & muso who has a precocious cat & a habit of doing the wrong thing but for the right reasons. The story of my life???? All demos, no albums ;)
