The mainstream media female correspondents for TVNZ lost their minds that the c word had been used by Andrea Vance.
The female political pundits at NZME lost their minds that the c word had been used by Andrea Vance.
Nicola Willis and Free Speech Champion Brooke van Velden wallowed like offended Karens that the c word had been used by Andrea Vance.
It’s funny when you compare the daily death threats to Jacinda vs Andrea Vance causing such pearl clutching.
Let’s look at that amazing and righteous paragraph again shall we…
“Turns out you can have it all. So long as you’re prepared to be a c*** to the women who birth your kids, school your offspring and wipe the arse of your elderly parents while you stand on their shoulders to earn your six-figure, taxpayer-funded pay packet.”
…isn’t it amazing?
Personally I think Andrea is wrong, Nicola Willis lacks the depth and warmth to be called the c word, but that’s just me.
When you speak truth to power the way Andrea did over the appallingly cruel and malicious amputation of pay parity, you expect backlash, but watching the right wing Female political class and their dour supporters in TVNZ and NZME pearl clutch at how offended they all are over and above the 500 000 workers who just got fucked over really gives you an insight into the class dynamics at work.
It’s more important that Nicola Willis, Audrey Young, Brooke van Velden and Maiki Sherman are all offended by the c word than the 500 000 workers who just had their pay stolen.
This is what NZ had become, a small closed shop where the double standards of the rich trump the aspirations of half a million workers.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
I wonder if Andrea Vance is having her texts, emails, and follow-up questions to Press Secs being answered within a week?
Audrey Young and Fran O’Sullivan are self confessed right wing shills.
When experienced journalists and professional wordsmiths struggle to find the words to describe the nastiness of this administraton, when the usual acceptable superlatives fail to capture the true enormity of this attack on the low paid, women in the workforce, then even the most experienced of journalists are left reaching. And have to resort to using less acceptable language.
Either that, or say nothing.
Is Maiki Sherman still a cadet reporter?
The more this government does the more I despair for Aotearoa. We have a dangerous cabal headed by a figure head of a prime minister who has no control. I don’t think people realize what freedoms are being taken away in the dead of night such as pay equity. If it was such a good idea why didn’t they announce it back in 23/24 . Sorry but the whole lot of this government are cunts and that includes the men because they are all complicit in the downfall of Aotearoa
Wit that ship doin here, non nuke, fifty year old, heh, who altered its propulsion.
Whether it’s close female relatives of rape victims, or female wannabe “hard men” who consciously reject their kinder side, it seems the bitchier, nastier side of humankind is a certain class of entitled women. Not only do such people’s behavior let down the side of women everywhere, but they seem to be too stupid and arrogant to realize the depth of their BETRAYAL. Andrea Vance was spot on correct when she said the current Minister of Labour was behaving like a cunt, but anatomically Andrea was incorrect. A more accurate description would have been arse hole – full of shit.
The C word for women is the equivalent N word for people of colour.
Cindy isn’t a C?
