This made me think of [Senators Penny Wong & David Bushby](http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/wayne-swan-outraged-after-senator-meows-at-minister-penny-wong/story-fn7x8me2-1226067194541?ref=katecarruthers.com):

Senator Wong fired back: "You meow when a woman does that ... that's a good idea. It is just extraordinary.  
  
"The blokes are allowed to yell but if a woman stands her ground, you want to make that kind of comment. It's sort of schoolyard politics, mate.''  
  
Senator Bushby this afternoon released a statement apologising for his behaviour.
