Women are not oppressed in Australia. If you think they are you need to travel more.
Women already have equality of opportunity in Australia. Feminists want equality of outcome. That is communism.
Has anyone ever broken down government spending on women's stuff vs men's stuff? Figures would be fascinating. auspol

Women want action on these three issues – but men are not quite so sureAustralian women back gender quotas, efforts to boost wages in female-dominated industries and better access to abortion services. How embarrassing for women that “apparently” they can’t make it into politics by themselves. Put down your phone, get off Instagram and leave the shopping centre if you want to get serious abt politics. Furthermore, know what u are getting in to. Robust politics is not bullying You get paid what you contribution is worth & if you don't like it you leave, if needed you study part time to allow you to transfer into a job or industry where the person hours are more valuable. Stop pretending it is about your genital configuration rather than your choices. How awful it must be to be a woman where one of your main concerns is the ability to get an abortion... How life affirming...
