I've seen a photo with Abbott haranguing his followers backed by banners saying: Julia Gillard is a b**** and a w****. Enough said. On the other hand Gillard didn't make a favour to the cause of feminism trying to protect Peter Slipper, accused of sexual harassment.

Um... Slipper was accused of sexually harassing another man.

Really? I've watched the video and read about that argument in the House of Representatives in a Women's blog. It wasn't mentioned that the harassed was a man, but it mentions a "collaborator" (in Spanish, "colaborador" can refer to a man or functions as "generic masculine") There was a quote of some article in the Sidney Morning Herald by Michelle Grattan. The link seems to be broken and I can't find the text right now, but it seems that Grattan wrote (roughly) something like this: "Maybe (Gillard) has become in the heroine of some feminists belting Abbott, but she has betrayed feminism trying to protect Slipper, condemning the messages isn't enough mitigating". In general sexual harassment is not good seen by feminists, regardless of the victim's sex.

It seems that the gap is reducing according to that poll.
