Woman accusing a man of mansplaining gets as good as she gives

Gender wars: Katy Gallagher accuses Mitch Fifield of mansplaining THE AUSTRALIAN FEBRUARY 11, 2016 11:07AM Rick Morton Social Affairs reporter Senator Katy Gallagher accused Mitch Fifield of mansplaining. The spectre of the gender wars has been invoked in Senate estimates this morning after a line of questioning by new Labor senator Katy Gallagher resulted in a spat between her and government minister Mitch Fifield in which she accused him of mansplaining. Senator Gallagher was asking about the status of social security legislation the day after Malcolm Turnbull became Prime Minister and whether there was any change to the introduction of bills, with Senator Fifield explaining that these were matters for the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. The argument went on, with Senator Gallagher rephrasing the question a number of times. Thanks for the mansplaining, she said toward the end of the first session of Community Affairs estimates. Imag
