Making waves…
Anton Savage appeared on The Tonight Show on TV3 this week opposite Sunday Times columnist David Quinn, and his passionate argument even caught the attention of Russell Crowe.
The debate between Savage and Quinn on the show eventually turned to a controversial tweet that Quinn sent earlier this month.
Quinn, who is also the Director of the Iona Institute, wrote:
The built world around you; men did that. Your house, car, street, plumbing, electric wiring etc. Men. Let's say sonething nice about men today.

Savage had a frank response to the tweet when it was discussed on the show…
"You picked the only industry that women no longer have any role in and used that as your selection to praise men" @AntonSavageShow criticises the controversial tweet by @DavQuinn #tonightTV3 @cooper_m @IvanYatesNT pic.twitter.com/EhLWkFruRi

Quinn did make an effort to clarify his tweet in response to Savage’s response to him.
"It's not a case of if you say something good about men you must have to say something bad about women. That's not the case" @DavQuinn responds to @AntonSavageShow criticism of his tweet @cooper_m @IvanYatesNT #tonightTV3 pic.twitter.com/iqKtBcWvMe
