But it is true that she is going to be viewed more critically than a man would be. She's going to have that added stress of making sure she doesn't make ANY mistakes.

Like the one who got lost surfing or some'at? In regards to people being all anti-woman just for the fun of it, direct them to <a href="http://(http://dianelorraine.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/hatersgonnahate.jpg)" rel="nofollow">(http://dianelorraine.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/hatersgonnahate.jpg)</a> that, and it should help a bit. :D I don't know a whole hell of a lot about the election down there, but I did have an Australian friend once who went ballistic at me about how I should vote every chance I get because it's an amazing right– and how Australians tend to have whacky Prime Ministers as it is.

Then again, we've only had one female prime minister in our (Canadian) history, and that was in 1993, so I can't speak for how our own country would react. I'd like to think we'd be fully receptive to the idea, but maybe I'm just an idealist. So I was just curious on your thoughts on that. (Sexism in australia. Not Canadian Prime Ministers or Idealism.)

He was getting all teary and I believe him when he says he put in all his effort. Gillard just seems to lack some charisma for me, but we'll see how she can do before judging.
