Don't call me a feminist

"I'm a female Foreign Minister, yeah, get over it." That was quite a response from Julie Bishop; keeping the theatrics to a minimum when answering press questions.

I like her attitude, it appears she is all about getting on with the job and not pandering to special interest groups or playing the victim with responses like "Don't call me a feminist, it is not in my lexicom."

She is doing an excellent job representing the country and is certainly taken seriously in international diplomacy circles. Bishop is not the first woman to enter politics or hold a high political position such as Prime Minister or Governor General, she does however not want to make gender an issue.
