todayiamadaisyI'm not sure why the people who organise the Australian media's Golden Ernies for most sexist public comment of the year do so in November when there's still a good six weeks of the year left, but they do. Our old friend, the chair-sniffing politician, won the political Ernie, for both the chair-sniffing and snapping the bra strap of a female staffer.
The big winner was the mayor of Mount Isa (a mining city with a huge difference between the numbers of men and women living there), who invited ugly women to move to the Mount where they couldn't help but find a man desperate enough to love them. When local women objected to the comment, he added that they were just blaming him for their looks. Classy.
