Of all the titles a woman can earn in this land of female superiority — governor-general, prime minister, chief justice — surely the most delightful is Staunchest Pitbull. I covet it.
Of all the titles a woman can earn in this land of female superiority,
the ultimate prize has yet to be claimed — Queen of Nothing.
Damning stuff indeed!!

With comment like this perhaps its time we men get some of these positions of superiority back into the hands of men to create a bit of equalty as these same women once wanted.{I never voted labour.}

The things you notice …
The news had an article about a new Toyota add, which has been subject to several complaints.
It’s the one featuring the tussle between man & woman (I don’t want to be presumptive by calling them husband and wife, or even partners) over the keys to their new toyota vehicle.
But what I noticed was a framed newspaper headline on the wall, presumably at Toyota Sales centre, or whtever they call themselves.
Featuring a headline regarding the infamous ‘Bugger’ ad.
A sub-headline promounced the new attorney general as a woman.
Perhaps the headlines should have been the other way around.
