Women! Know your limits!
The old Harry Enfield comedy skit is the guiding principle of the modern left. Women are allowed to be seen and heard, only so long as they say whatever the men in charge tell them to. If the man is wearing a dress, women not only have to do what he tells them, but let him wave his feminine todger at them while he does it.
Any woman who complains or speaks out of turn is smashed as brutally as a South Auckland wahine on bennies day.
Especially if she’s so un-womanly as to be a conservative.
The past week has demonstrated yet again that conservative women are held to a very different standard than other women in public life. Not only are they seen as easy targets by the increasingly feral Left but they remain unprotected by the “sisterhood” as well as their feckless faux-conservative colleagues.
Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming’s disgraceful treatment is the most glaring local example of a woman being subjected to bullying, victim blaming and character assassination – and that’s just from her own party leaders.
To add insult to injury, the entire media-political class then turned on the victim of she-male violence.
After being attacked by violent far-Left protesters at a Let Women Speak rally, she was incredibly held responsible for the actions of around 20 moronic Nazi protesters and on Monday was suspended for nine months by colleagues.
Yeah, well, she wuz askin’ fer it, eh?
As I wrote last week, opposition leader John Pesutto could’ve taken a principled and populist stand for truth and women’s rights but instead he opted to be the premier’s and the media’s useful idiot.
To compound the insult, Pesutto falsely claimed on Monday that Deeming had made certain last-minute concessions, including condemning the women behind the event. She did no such thing.
But while Pesutto was telling tall tales to various ABC hosts, Deeming was muzzled. If she were a Greens or Labor MP, she’d be celebrated by the media, who have casually and repeatedly defamed her.
The media-political left’s double-standards crosses intersectional boundaries, too.
Even being a “woman of colour” is not enough to afford conservative women any protection or expectation of fairness. From Priti Patel in the UK to Nikki Haley in the US, it’s clear that racist, sexist attacks against conservative women are tolerated, or ignored, by the very people who claim to be appalled by such conduct.
Indeed, ask Rita Panahi. Or Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, who is regularly subjected to the most appallingly racist and misogynistic abuse.
While the Labor party preach and finger-wag about the Coalition’s supposed “woman problem”, they are happy to go to elections with an accused rapist as leader and sit under an PM who happily encourages them to “smash” female Coalition MPs.
On Friday, we saw another conservative woman reduced to tears in parliament after being attacked by Labor Senator Murray Watt for supporting Deeming.
Sarah Henderson has since referred the matter to the Senate President, saying Watt’s explanation “improperly misrepresented the abhorrent and offensive statement he made about me in the Senate”.
The treatment of women, particularly in Parliament House, has been elevated to a top-line issue by Labor and the wider Left, and yet there was no outcry from feminist pundits and politicians.

Of course not: Henderson isn’t a real woman, she’s a conservative. She doesn’t even have a penis, like a proper lady.
