Gosh, how thrilling – hands up all straight women who are feeling totally marginalised under Labour

So what’s new? We should be accustomed to being marginalised in this society in which we grew up, but now it’s getting quite ridiculous, isn’t it. After centuries of being marginalised by men in general, now we have been pipped to the post by men trying hard to be like us.
It’s as though we are being told: look, we don’t mind women, but strictly speaking, they’ve got to be men.
Women: always last in the queue unless they’re tarts.

Concita is a man dressed up as a woman. No more, no less.
It’s how you feel inside that counts.
It doesn’t help that Xarabank parades people like Lawrence Gray (http://limelightmalta.com/lawrence-gray-il-hamis-23-ta-ottubru-fuq-radju-malta-2/) first wearing a longish wig (over his own hair ‘installation’), then wiggling his butt, after which he wore a tutu – all, supposedly, in a pseudo-comedy dance (an act which, the Xarabank audience thought was hysterically funny).
Did you not read Claudette Buttigieg’s newspaper article yesterday. In reply to her PQ to Minister Joe Mizzi asking how many women he had appointed to decision-making posts, he asked what type of “position” she was referring to. How crass is that?
You are SO chippy, Daphne. What you never mention is how, in the Western world, you only have to be a (good looking) straight woman and you’re set up for life, if you play your cards right – which shouldn’t be too difficult because good looks means you’ve been dealt an ace.
[Daphne – How wrong you are, Chris. It’s the women with brains who are set up for life, and if they have the right looks as well, they have nothing to worry about. I think you’ll find that the women who you think got where they did on the basis of looks actually got their using their brains. The looks were just a plus factor.]
Pleased to see you don’t deny that lots of women do get their way, despite being “marginalised”. You’re coming round. Next step is to admit it’s easier for women.
[Daphne – It isn’t, Chris, and I speak as one who knows. I went to this thing at the Chamber of Commerce the other day, for instance: a room with a packed audience and the only women there were me, my friend, Ann Fenech, another woman I didn’t recognise and Johanna Calleja who works there. It was exactly the same as when I started going to these things 25 years ago. I would always be the only woman, or almost the only woman, there in a sea of dark suits. In 2014 it’s more freakish still.]
One more reason to avoid watching Malta Song for Europe.
Well, we all know what the South American meaning of ‘concha’ is: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=concha
That makes Conchita a little C. And he has no qualms about it since men like Cs – even little ones with beards – and he likes men. All very ordinary, and, shall I say, European.
Now I’m hoping the Sisters win. Not just the Molta Sonk for Yurope, but the Eurofriggin Sonk Kontest.
YAK, YAK, YAK.
This is actually really sad. I have a liberal view towards sexual orientation and preferences, to all their own as long as it remains in the bedroom and is consensual.
What bothers me though is those individuals like Conchita who force their sexuality, preferences and orientation on others.
It then becomes a sad situation, one centred on gaining attention for the wrong reasons. But I thoroughly respect all those who live their lives with respect.

I am surprised, Conchita has not been sent an invitation to Malta for more photo opportunities. Perhaps this time Helena Dalli will invite her.
