        Same. Even though she got treated like shit. It wasn't an issue for the general public that she was a woman. Just the males in parliament.

        Rupert Murdoch OWNS our PM and high Internet speeds were not good for Rupert's business so our Conservative gov screwed us over. Again.

        I think you are foregetting: it's social conscience and growing lack of equality, growing racism, environmental destruction. One picture.
