    Excellent post davflaws.

    Misogyny has been a popular societal pastime, and as we have seen it still is. Plenty of people have enjoyed being able to express their contempt and prejudice for women using Jacinda as a target, on here, in the Herald comments, and on social media.

    It says a lot about our values as a society that kindness, compassion and empathy is spurned in favour of abusive behaviour by a vocal group.

    I think the simmering rage of the mediocre is spot on.

    “For her to be accepted as representing the best of New Zealand, rather than being painted as the great divider as she has been, the population would have needed to endorse her view of the efficacy and value of empathy. They didn’t.

    This is misogyny in action. A collective memory of burning women as witches. A collective fear of a woman with power. The simmering rage of the mediocre.

    Was the plea for kindness and empathy so archetypally feminine that it became a direct challenge to underlying masculine ideals?
    Did this undeniable feminine desire for kindness trigger such a threat to our locker-room ability to take the knocks that we needed to prove that toughness and violence are more valued than the ideals of charity and compassion?”

    davflaws - the poster who believes a NZer has no culture or heritage unless they are Maori or embrace Maori culture.

    ardern - the lying hypocrite who preached transparency, truth, kindness and compassion but did the exact opposite as PM. She just happens to be a clueless and useless woman. Just as bad as that buffoon Muldoon.

    The poor thing had a gush of blood to her head.

    The domestic terror event she refers to is her prime ministership.

    Not an internal crisis ... or some other lingering crisis ?

    Have the experts counted to make sure she still has all the required number of marbles ?
