Speaking to Sky News after the swearing in of new ministers, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd rejected the view that not enough women were promoted.
"Fair shake of the sauce bottle, mate," he said. "If you were to compare what this Government has done in terms of the promotion of women of talent and ability compared with our predecessors, it's chalk and cheese."
Used to inform somebody that they’re taking more than their share or are engaged in some kind of unfairpractice.
In June 2009, Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd when persistently questioned by a reporter about how he'd arrived at a decision about the composition of his ministers, responded three times during an interview "Fair shake of the sauce bottle, mate." Critics thought he was trying too hard to use Australian slang to boost his popular appeal.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
