Last week, renowned feminist Germaine Greer wrote of Julia Gillard’s urgent need to tailor her jackets in an attempt to claw back some of the massive deficit she currently faces in the polls. Greer wrote that Gillard’s jackets ride up and crease between her shoulder blades. She has also recently commented in public on our Prime Minister’s large posterior.
Now, I am no feminist scholar, however it occurs to me that there is something amiss in the recent remarks made by Greer. Indeed, it reeks of double standards, and the article to which I previously referred does nothing to refute this. Indeed, falling short of specifically stating support, it almost embraces such standards.
Why is it that “nobody cares” “how many suits a male prime minister might have”, yet it is apparently okay to draw attention to a female prime minister’s ill-fitting jackets and how they accentuate her “big behind”?
I’ll simplify further. Why is it that nobody remarks on the constant barrage of cheap, black, and ill-fitting suits that are so disappointingly common amongst our male political “elite”? I’ll tell you why. Nobody cares.
Just like nobody cared about Julia Gillard’s jackets. Until Germaine Greer brought up the point unprovoked, that is.
