Florist says Julie Anne Genter exchange was 'massive imbalance of power' (www.rnz.co.nz)

She sounds absolutely unhinged, going into someone's business just to pick a fight with them is straight up bullying behaviour.

I wouldn't be surprised at all.

The thing that annoys me is I doubt this story would be much of anything if Julie was a man. But because she is a woman she is 'hysterical' and 'unhinged'. I have no problem with politicians being passionate about their causes, but obviously she needs to rein it in and stick to acceptable decorum.

You're completely wrong there, I think. If this was a man acting that way towards a woman, the backlash would be far worse.

Lets clarify what we're talking about.

The incident in parliament, I agree with you. The incident at the florists, a man against another man, I don't think it would even be news.
