People with honour just don’t say that kind of thing. Full stop. I really can’t ever imagine myself saying that, in a professional context moreover, and to a woman.

To think it’s become so fashionable to dabble with identity politics nowadays, the silence from certain NGO’s deafening.

‘…Kif gabah in Naz l-parlament qisu benny hill show……U ejjja maturaw ftit. It-tnejn skuzaw ruhhom ghax tnejn ghajjru lil xulxin. JDG issegera xi ftit, imma nafu kif inhu taqbizlu malajr. Cheer up…….’

‘…U ejja Dr Farrugia ‘gejja bin-no woman is safe in Malta! Bilmod hej. Qed tara m’huwnx mara wahda barra t-triq illum. Veru forsi x-xita u naqsa in-numru ta nies barra. Imma z-zejjed iz-zejjed…’

Like most of us he felt betrayed., and as the saying goes “if you do not like the heat don,t play with the fire. If we use the excuse that she is a woman its immaterial as it could have been a man, or are we now giving this person the privilege of being a woman and as such is placed above the male species….’

‘…As if she is a battered person!..’

There’s precious little for Maltese men to smirk about (Luciano, take heed). A misogynist society will also treat its men badly.
