Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ka mea te taote Dr Gabrielle McMullin he tino nui te sexism i roto i nga taote i Ahitereiria, ko nga wahine taitamariki e hiahia ana ki te mahi i roto i te rongoa ka pai ki te 'whakataurite' Ka whakaaetia nga taote wahine ki nga hohipera o Ahitereiria mehemea he "tangata, he tamariki, he tangata", e kii ana tetahi taakuta wahine, i te mea he maha nga wahine i roto i te mahi a te tane e tuwhera ana mo o raatau wheako mo te sexism. Whai muri i nga korero tautohetohe a tetahi wahine taakuta matua i kii ki nga taakuta wahine e hiahia ana ki te haere tahi me te tukino i te mahi mo te painga o a raatau mahi, he maha nga wahine i kii ko te tukino i te taatai he " take nui " i roto i te umanga hauora. I a ia e korero ana ki te Sydney Morning Herald, i kii tetahi taote wahine i korerotia ki a ia e tetahi hoa tane he "kore painga" nga wahine. I whakahaua ia e tētahi kaitohutohu i te mahi ki te tiki i ētahi kākahu waewae, me te ako ki te momi i te p**k, ā, i whakapumautia e tētahi atu hoa mahi matua, ka karohia ia i a ia e whakatika ana i a ia anō i muri i tana pa atu ki a ia. "E whakaaro ana rātau kei a rātau koe, he tokomaha o ēnei tangata", i mea ia. Ko ētahi atu kaitārai wahine, kāore i hiahia ki te whakaingoa i a rātau mō te wehi ki ngā whiunga, i kōrero mai me pēhea te āhua o te hinengaro o te "karapu tāne" i roto i te mahi i arahina ai ngā wāhine ki te whakawātea ina amuamu rātau mō te tukino ā-ira. I roto i tētahi uiuinga reo irirangi ABC i te Paraire, ka mea a Dr Gabrielle McMullin, he tohunga taihara ā-roto i Hītini, he tino nui te whakahāwea ā-ira i waenganui i ngā tohunga taihara tāne i ngā hōhipera o Ahitereiria, kia pai ai te ataata me te whakamanawanui o ngā wāhine taitamariki. Ko ana korero i whai ake i te whakatupato i tukuna e ia ki nga waahine taiohi i te Whare Paremata o Sydney i te Paraire, i te wa o te whakarewatanga o te pukapuka i tuhia e ia mo te taurite ira tangata. 'Ko tāku e mea atu ai ki aku ākonga, mēnā ka whakatata atu ki a koe mō te moepuku, tērā pea ko te mea haumaru rawa hei mahi i te wā o tō mahi, ko te whakaae ki te tono,' i mea ia. I te whakarewatanga o 'Pathways to Gender Equality in Australia' i te Paraire, i tohutohu a Dr McMullin ki nga kaiwhakaako wahine kia kaua e tuu i a ratau ki nga ahuatanga whakaraerae. Engari he māmā ake te tuku ki ngā whakatikatika ā-hinengaro kāore i te hiahiatia, i te whai i ngā kaitukino, i whakatūpato ia, nā te mea...
Tekau mā rua ngā tākuta wahine i kōrero mō ā rātau wheako whakahāwea. Ko tētahi i mea i korerotia ki a ia 'kia tiki i ētahi kākahu turi, kia ako hoki ki te momi p**k' He maha ngā tākuta wahine e whakaaro ana mēnā ka kōrero rātau ka mōrearea rātau i ō rātau mahi. I whakahētia a Tākuta Gabrielle McMullin mō tana kī atu ki ngā kaikōkiri wahine e hiahia ana kia whakamana i ngā whakatikatika ā-waha i te mahi. Ahakoa ngā whakahe mai i te umanga hauora me ngā rōpū mana wahine, e kī ana a Dr McMullin e tū tonu ana ia ki ōna tohutohu 'pragmatic' nā te mea he pono. I whai mai ōna kōrero i te whakarewatanga o tētahi pukapuka i tuhia e ia mō te ōritetanga ira tangata.
