Alasdair Thompson really made a hash of it, didn't he, with his comments about menstruation and productivity. He ought to have seen red when his comments weren't met with wild cheers from his radio interviewer and should perhaps have put down his righteous spade and stopped digging when Mihingarangi Forbes arrived to do the final despatch. It made great viewing though and produced this funny-and-sharp piece from the Queen of Thorns, guesting on The Standard.
The comments are well worth reading, unless you're Alasdair.
*Robert Winter uses the elegant term "simple, trouser-driven prejudice" to describe where it it Mr Thompson is coming from - priceless!
He also joins the chorus of New Zealanders calling for dear ol' Al's head, after his bulling behaviour toward the CampbellLive interviewer.

An advanced and possibly terminal case of foot-in-mouth disease, methinks.
Agreed Inv2.
Idle thoughts of an idle fellow comments intelligently on this issue.
I was tempted to add to my post by saying, for your benefit :-)
"Odds are Alisdair's a Tory!" but your supportive comment has prevented me from taking the cheap shot.
Damn those uteri...responsible for both inordinate amount of sick days, and those pesky off-spring, which sometimes require a mothers attention. Hysterectomies for all!
Well Suz, if Alisdair's mum had had one early enough...
nah! That's too mean and I don't mean it.
Still...
Still...
Born. If only!
(Best stop now)
Enough..period.
Thompson must be making a pitch for position No 3 on the ACT Party list.
He's a shoo-in for the job Toad. He and Don will be able to share a meal of corned beef together, bathed in the pale light of their own misogynist conversation.
