My parents’ generation endured Depression, World War and the existential threat of communism. They never complained about it – or about much of anything. Today’s generation are the safest and richest in human history – and they complain about everything. I guess when you’ve never really endured real hardship, the most trivial inconveniences apparently seem like intolerable oppression.
That doesn’t make the sissy-Marys of the modern left any less insufferable, though.
ABC anchor Leigh Sales has spoken candidly about the sexism she’s experienced as a woman in Australia […]
She said she felt as if there was a system in place that protected powerful men and often made women feel like they were the problem.
To rephrase a popular hashtag, #NotAllWomen, Leigh. Just whiny princesses like you.
And bear in mind: this is someone who’s spent her entire working life in the taxpayer-funded leftist sheltered workshop that is the ABC. So when she talks about a “system”, she’s really talking about the ABC.
So, how does this ABC-left patriarchy work? Just what shocking instances of outrageous sexism is she talking about? Is Pravda-in-Ultimo some sort of Mad Men-esque atavism of blokey-blokes whooping it up and monstering the girls in the lunch room?
As an example, she said wireless microphones often used during public speaking engagements were designed for men’s clothes, and required a sturdy lapel, a heavy belt and a coat to cover it up.
There were other examples as well — such as being made to feel annoying for needing to use the toilet and being told her male counterpart never had that need; and male colleagues setting up windy filming locations suitable for men with short hair, but not women with long hair.
“Nobody involved in any of these incidents do I consider sexist, or bad people, or anything of that nature. In isolation, (the incidents) are all totally minor,” Sales said.
“But it’s also the fact that all of these things can be immediately skewed to make me sound like the world’s biggest pain in the arse.”
Self-awareness is clearly not Sales’ strong point.
Nor her audience’s…
The $150-a-head lunch, held at an Italian restaurant in the eastern Sydney suburb of Rushcutters Bay, was hosted by Sydney Media Club, an organisation launched by the Kennedy Foundation last year.
Attendees were treated to wine, antipasto starters, a main choice of pappardelle duck ragu or veal parmigiana, and cannoli for dessert.

Such is the oppression the modern left must endure. Don’t tell them they don’t know what ’Nam was like.
Maybe the spoilt princesses of the left should stop judging all men by the toxic leftist betas they surround themselves with.
