From feminist misogyny to mainstream men - two men bell the misogyny cat. This feminist is grateful.


We all saw the Prime Minister's misogyny speech.  




It now appears to have been book-ended by Morrison's "You're not wanted" video.  

Perhaps some enterprising person will put them together 
as a collector's item to be marketed 
in the lead-up to International Women's Day 2014.

What now seems to have occurred is that calling out misogyny 
has left the limitations of feminist outrage 
to become mainstream - all because of the actions of two good men.


for his leadership and forthrightness.

THE NEVER ENDING STORY - THALIDOMIDE

Thalidomide was the drug that horrified the world - as you might understand, younger Networkers, from the picture above.  The Australian medico, William McBride,noted the link between thalidomide and birth defects.  Due to his work, pregnant women receive much less prescribed medication in pregnancy than once was the case.

To-day comes this good news story of more compensation for ageing Thalidomide victims.  Ken Youdale and Peter Gordon are brilliant.  And it is pleasing to write about a care-full corporate, Diageo, who had no legal obligation to pay compensation.
