Read all of Catherine Deveny’s recent article in The Age please. It makes many valid points about women in the media, and I truly think you’re better off consuming the whole thing in your own time than having me knock out a summary that isn’t up to scratch, but I did want to point out this bit…


What does it say about Australian media and culture when the only loud, strong, funny and opinionated woman with any longevity in our country is Dame Edna? A man who lives in London. The gender battle is the mother of all wars.

Damn, she’s got a point.

    Great recommendation. I read this today and thought it was fantastic – and I am (supposedly) a man.
