Even though there’s a certain amount of merriment in the media just about every time Senator Steve Fielding opens his mouth, the response to him has been positively respectful compared to what would have happened if he had been a woman.
Where’s the drag queen equivalent of Pauline Pantsdown – Steve Feeldong? Where are the catchcry equivalents of ‘Please Explain!’ – ‘My vote does count,’ say, or ‘I don’t know about that in detail’? Where’s the spoof site to match the now apparently defunct mirandadevine.com?
I’m not pleading for the poor senator to be subjected to degrading personal insult, but don’t you think it’s interesting?
Me fail? I fly!
