This may surprise you, but News Corp is pretty loving racist. http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/aboriginal-surfer-sues-for-defamation-20140803-zzlvy.html quote:Law suits are vanishingly rare in the world of surfing. It’s meant to be all peace, love and smokin’ barrels – not pleas, plaintiffs, and corporate barristers. Now pro surfer Otis Carey is suing Nationwide News, a subsidiary of News Corp Australia, for defamation, in a case that has divided the surfing community.

Also I am probably a total misogynist for not caring that much about the woes of people with private health insurance because cosmetic reconstructive surgery is more common amongst women than men due to the types of procedures and the level to which society values looks as a determinant of worth differently across genders.

Do people in this thread refer to Eric Abetz as Erica Betz because they sincerely believe that's his name or because they are insulting him by demoting him to the status of a woman by feminising his name? It happens every he's brought up. Don't get me wrong, he's a vapid, mealy-mouthed carbon blob, but that line of attack is still pretty questionable.

It's because when you say his name with anything even resembling speed, it sounds like Erica Betz. It's almost impossible not to.

I think a journalist made the mistake of calling him Erica Betz at some point and after that, it just stuck.

I'm fairly certain that we're not calling him Erica Betz to infer he's a woman, or at least I hope not.

After long consideration I've decided the only appropriate way to handle his stunted grasp of gender politics is to call him a girl while sniggering behind my hand. I've done this twice after moving to Canberra with him in the room.

If you're going to ad hom Abetz base it on his being the nephew of Otto Abetz, noted international war criminal.
