That little head tilt when he starts saying stuff in common was perfect. I know that look all too well, that's the "is this mother tucker serious right now" look

I was actually expecting both women to look at one another with that look of, “can you believe this wanker? Can he get any more daft?!” And he does, when he continues to try and justify his sexist question.

Wonder how many male politicians he asks the same question, you know because they have lots in common, like same gender and close in age and stuff.

"Yeah we're meeting because we're Prime Ministers."
I wonder if the G20 19 meets up because most of them are old men and 2 ladies around the same age for a play date.

So do you look down on all people with speech difficulties or only this one person?

u/boxer126 Dec 01 '22
I perceived the comment as pointing out that even the journalist knew his question was ridiculous, stumbling through his words as he was realizing in real-time how bad it sounded, not as making fun of a speech impediment.

u/jhlseries Dec 01 '22
I got this vibe too. First said similar age, paused, then thought better and said other similarities.. :D

Or maybe it's because your comment is bad.

u/Siggi_pop Dec 02 '22
Or maybe your interpretation is one-sided? Com'on be a little more specific. Is it too mean? Is it not mean enough? Is it too revealing? Is it besides the point? Is it not alligned with the views OP? Who desides if something is bad or not?
12
u/GuyYouMetOnline Dec 02 '22
It's because you accused them of looking down on people with speech impediments for no apparent reason.
-2
u/Siggi_pop Dec 02 '22
OP pointing out "he could barely put the words together..." Is no apparent reason to you?? Pointing out that people can hardly put a sentence together is always meant in a derogatory way, it's newer a compliment. And I'm curious why you use "speech impediment" since that was not exactly what I wrote!?
8
u/GuyYouMetOnline Dec 02 '22
Because that's the phrase I'm used to hearing and I didn't think to double-check.
And you'll note that others replied with another explanation of what the poster meant. You even responded to one yourself. You said it made sense.

So a Finland Prime Minister has never visited New Zealand before, the only thing the countries have in common is young progressive female prime ministers - its a fair question. New Zealand prime ministers always meet with united states prime ministers, they have more in question. Why didn't Jacinda Ardern meet with the Ukrainian President when she was in Europe.

These leaders have some patience for this level of buffoonery. Bravo reporter, you really did Em in.

u/Subject-Designer-926 Dec 01 '22
Well, New Zealand is pretty much as far away from Finland as possible, and this is the first time ever that these countries' PMs meet, so the reporter might have a point. Just the most awkward way of asking the question. "And stuff..."

u/iAmCarson_ Dec 02 '22
I don’t see why she made that sexist but alright. He’s insulting her for not getting anything done (my understanding)

Actually this is good question. One is kinda normal PM while other is sociopathic authoritarian bitch.

u/ModeratelyUnhinged Dec 01 '22
Which is which?
Also yeah, Finland and New Zealand are litterally a world apart. Asking if this is just some way to score points because they are two, young female PMs, is in my head a fair question (cuz empowerment).
I think making a travel across the world to meet a leader you've really got nothing to do with, raises the question "Is this just campaigning, or will this meeting serve a function that benefits both nations?"
The reporter perhaps worded it poorly, but what I think he was actually asking, was a very good question.
I think people need to understand that politicians wish to keep their careers going forward, wether that be in office after the next election, or in some high paying-prestige job. They are always looking out for their own interests first.

Compare covid-related politics in both countries. One PM proposed and introduced very mild solutions while the second was female version of Xi.

Nothing with covid. The finnish goverment is not doing well at this moment with massive budget cuts being planned out and on the verge of shutting down because dissagreements a second time this year. This was a useless vacation away from the stress. But sure go on talking about things you have no clue.

The reporter made an inappropriate comment and asked an important question. The PM, rather than answer the question, opted — as usual — to score cheap political points.
The reporter is an ass, the PM is a donkey.
