When New Zealand’s PM makes the international news it’s for pulling pony tails...
Hey, have you checked out what Justin Trudeau, our (Canada's) prime minister said? He basically urged the entire country (and world) to be feminists. This is huge considering our last arsehole on the job
Yes that was amazing! He is so consistently vocal about feminism, he sets a great example for world leaders and for all men.
Readers, here’s the video:
Justin Trudeau just made a really important point about feminism“Speaking at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos on Friday, the Canadian PM described a conversation he had had with his wife Sophie:
Men have to be a big part of this conversation. One of the things I am incredibly proud of is to have a partner, in my wife Sophie, who is incredibly committed to womens’ and girls’ issues.
We’re of a like mind and I agree with her on that and I’ve been very thoughtful of how we raise our daughter.
She took me aside a couple of months ago and said “Ok, it’s great that you’re engaged with and modelling to your daughter that you want her empowered, but you need to take as much effort to talk to your sons about how they treat women and how he is going to grow up to be a feminist, just like dad”.
And as if that wasn’t great enough, he went on to say:By the way, we shouldn’t be afraid of the word “feminist”. Men and women should use it to describe themselves any time they want.”

Since I was very young, and started noticing how women are treated in this country, I’ve had this feeling about women. I don’t like anyone to underestimate us.
