I might have my own conscientious objection to what Senator Leyden says at times but it is a cheap shot to start calling people mysoginistic. I am sick listening to it if somebody makes a comment that people do not like or that they find emotional or passionate. I do not believe Senator Leyden is mysoginistic. Many of his arguments may be unfounded and he may not have scrutinised the Bill in the way we did, but he is not mysoginistic. In the same way, we are not all emotional. Sometimes our thought process or sense of projection takes over but I believe it is a cheap shot to call someone mysoginistic. I agree with Senator Leyden. He is not mysoginistic, and I would like to withdraw the aside I made a few minutes ago-----
