Julia Gillard explains 'misogyny speech'

The Guardian Online
Australia's first female prime minister, Julia Gillard, has explained the motivation behind her famous misogyny speech, saying it was the result of a "crack point” brought about by the now prime minister, Tony Abbott's lecture on sexism.
"The speech was a crack point,” Gillard said. "I thought after everything I have experienced, I have to listen to Tony Abbott lecture me about sexism.
"That gave me the emotional start to the speech and once I started, it took on a life of its own."
Gillard said she came to the view that she was getting "the burden but none of the benefits" of being Australia's first female prime minister because, from her first days in the top job, she chose not to put gender "right in the foreground".
She said she was aware of misogyny around her leadership, which included comments in the media, derogatory doctored images and an infamous sexist menu, but chose not to focus on it.
Asked whether she felt it was upsetting, Gillard joked: "More like murderous rage, really, so for my personal liberty, it was a good thing I didn't focus on |sexism|.
"Yes it's about me, but it's about all of us and about the kind of society we want to be for all of us. We can drop the murderous but we should feel a sense of rage about it because it's only something that really spurs you on to action that is going to change."
In a wide-ranging discussion with feminist writer Anne Summers to a sold-out crowd at the Sydney Opera House, Gillard also urged support for progressive voices in the media, elaborated on her opposition to gay marriage and gave former colleague and frontbencher Tanya Plibersek a ringing endorsement as a future Labor leader.
Gillard revealed she would be taking up a role as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute in Washington, working on global education issues as well as her professorship at the University of Adelaide.
In front of an overwhelmingly supportive crowd who cheered regularly throughout the inter-
view, Gillard rejected the suggestion that she had undermined Rudd before toppling him as leader in 2010, saying she spent every day as his deputy working for the good of the Labor party.
She described her term, over the life of a hung parliament after the 2010 election, as a "perfect political storm", buffeted by a "hard-hitting opposition campaign" by Abbott and the leadership instability, though she did not name Kevin Rudd.
