To repeat the well-used words and heart-stopping sentiment of many parents of teenage children, “Julie, we’re so disappointed in you”.  

It was surprising to see Bishop on stage at the Australian Women’s Weekly event last week. She doesn’t usually walk in step with the pink ‘pussy hat’ brigade.  

It was even more disappointing to watch her backflip on personal responsibility and join the chant of sexism that is deafening the nation.  

Previously, Bishop has won respect from both sexes for firmly stating, “I don’t find the need to self-describe in that way [as a feminist].”
