Good one, you could not be more wrong. However I do ironically applaud your defence of the indefensible disrespect for the NZ head of state we had for 70 years.

There appears to be constant theme of disrespect from Balance for female leaders☺️

Gynophobia. Fear of strong women.

What's the word for fear of women who don't do what they said they would, and tell lies to cover up?

Jacindanoia?

Gynophobia. Fear of strong women.

Biggest joke that Ardern is a strong woman - she is a spin mistress, big on making huge promises but inconsequential on delivering on said promises. Because she is weak and is more concerned with optics than with results.

Here are a few examples of strong women & leaders who have/had delivered transformative far reaching results for those they led :

1. Angela Merkel

2. Margaret Thatcher

3. Golda Meir

4. Benazir Bhutto

5. Corazon Aquino

6. Tsai Ing-wen

7. Kristalina Georgieva

8. Helen Clark

What is there to fear about strong women? There is everything to respect, admire and support.

Respect is earned - not given and respect is a feeling of deep admiration that is elicited by a person’s abilities, qualities, or achievements.

Does Ardern deserve respect?

Ardern makes false promises ('most open & transparent government ever'), preaches values (kindness & compassion) but rewards bullies and failures.

It is a gross insult to compare Ardern and her minuscule achievements against the achievements of any of the female leaders above.

She's admired around the world though, none of those people are except maybe for Tsai ing-wen.

Who cares about the world - it is in NZ we live and with the disasters she has exacted in 5 years on NZ as a country.

Useless and clueless woman of no consequential achievements - talk, talk and spin & BS.

As usual, your reasoning is the same as your assertion that it's ok for thousands of innocent civilians to be slaughtered by US drones because the drones are used in the war against terror. WOMD?

She's admired around the world though and none of those people are to the same extent.

Those so called admirers do not see what the average Kiwi is becoming ever more aware of. That is, she is not capable of effectively running this country. She can put hijabs on until the cows come home, its not going to fix the mess she has made of New Zealand.

Notice how quiet Ardern & her mob are about the crack down & deaths in Iran over the wearing of the hijab?

Ardern was told and urged to ditch the hijab after the various functions in the immediacy of the Christchurch massacre but she persisted in wearing the hijab well after that - great optics, see?

And now, she is suddenly quiet - what kind of a fake is she?



She will fit right in with the rulers of Iran - so admired she will be by them for donning the hijab, symbol of the oppression of females. And she is a strong woman, according to the Ardern devotees here!

The "admirers" are a the woke left who live by statements and dreams, not in the real World. Jacinda was hailed as a Leader in the fight against climate change at the UN because of her statement that "climate change is the nuclear free moment of my generation". The "admirers" have not looked at what she has achieved, or rather, not achieved. Just slogans and headlines. Do they even know that we have gone backwards with our climate change goals under her "leadership" ?

She could be admired by some around the world - just as those others were. It depends on how well known and how high a profile they have. Thatcher was not so liked by Communists and Unionists but well liked by Eastern European democrats and free enterprisers. Probably more around the world respected most of the other leaders of the list, even if not universally across societies.

Thatcher managed to liberate a British Island group on the other side of the World from a fascist foreign invader. Maybe Jacinda Ardern will help Ukraine do the same…
