So many people have such frail ego's when faced with a popular successful politician - if that politician is a woman then their levels of hurt go off the charts

Her party is tanking in opinion polls and her own rating has never been lower.
Political life is tough, that’s why she is going.
It won’t stop you and others turning this into yet another thread where nasty people are being all misogynistic though.
Meanwhile you and others are happy to pile into other female politicians without even a hint of self awareness.
The only pile on I have seen on female politicians is on Suella Braverman and Priti Patel, both of whom have said appalling things, and displayed levels of inhumanity that are unacceptable to many; Jacinda Ardern is not cut from the same cloth.Her party is tanking in opinion polls and her own rating has never been lower.

She seemed to be as decent as one could hope for in a politician and I wish we had someone of that calibre.
Good luck to her.

Not what he is saying, I think the general idea is to criticise in a constructive manner as opposed to acting in exactly the same manner as those one appears to look down upon.It is okay for people who act in an inhumane and uncaring manner to be criticised for their behaviour.
Now you could say but they deserve it and miss the whole point by some margin. Unless people think that they are the oracle of right and wrong and everyone should follow and accept their views on everything.
There is a name for that I think:-)
There is no issue with criticism in a constructive manner. There are, however, a group of journalists whose consistent target are women, especially young women in positions of power. If they lean to the left, then they get an especially hard time from those journalists. Here, we have a seemingly honourable politician who is now the target, and has been the target, of those same journalists, and others.Not what he is saying, I think the general idea is to criticise in a constructive manner as opposed to acting in exactly the same manner as those one appears to look down upon.

Absolutely not and I’ve never said it is. Check the threads out on them and I’m equally critical.
What irks is the claims of misogyny to try and shut down criticism and debate when it suits.
Her party is tanking as has her own ratings so the good people of New Zealand are not happy with her.
Pointing that out does not make me a misogynist.
