Jessica Watson sailed around the world. As she returned home, she was met by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who hailed her as “Australia’s newest hero.” “You do our nation proud,” he said. “You are a hero for young Australians … and young Australian women.”
But Watson said she had to disagree with Mr Rudd as “I don’t consider myself a hero. I’m an ordinary girl who had a dream. You just have to have a dream and set your mind to it.’’
Reading the comments on the blogs, we can see fairly clearly who is offended by the heroic theory of man and the accompanying repudiation of the feeble child theory of man.
