The silence of the feminists

In the days since a senior Stuff journalist published an article calling female Ministers the c word, I’ve been counting how many staunchly feminist Labour and Green MPs have come out and said something along the lines of “We totally oppose the Government’s changes to pay equity laws but condemn the use of the c word against female Ministers. Such gendered abuse has no place in our public discourse”.

All these staunch Labour feminist MPs have remained silent, no doubt following the lead of Chris Hipkins who has refused to condemn it. Where is the National Council of Women, who are normally so vocal on these issues?

Where are the articles from the staunchly feminist journalists who have written about how terrible it is that female MPs are abused?
