Melbourne; The Australian Misogynists Association, ‘You burnt me fuckin’ tea bitch’, today expressed disappointment of the lack of take up of black ribbons on offer as a counter to the White Ribbon Day of 25 November which is the United Nationals International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
‘What about when she don’t take me dick in her mouth?’ complained Erwin Ghent, a short skinny man with a food stained brown velvet jumper. ‘Surely I is allowed to give her a couple of taps eh?’
Ghent, who has not had a relationship in the last ten years said that it was time women knew their place, not bedecking themselves in white ribbons as if they didn’t fucking deserve it.
‘Where am I going?’ thundered Dirk Hadrog from beyond his bandana mouth mask, a barrel chested man with a thick Santa Clause like beard stretching over his ample stomach. ‘None of your fuckin’ business ya mol.’
The Association’s Black Ribbons, Black to represent the Shiner the Bitch got for talkin’ back, remained largely untaken up by passing commuters where the ‘You burnt me fuckin’ tea bitch’ campaign had set up their stall on the steps at Melbourne central station. However it did attract some criticism from passing female office workers.
‘What the fuck?’ said Esmeralda Phillips, a 23 year old communication professional. ‘Are they serious? I mean look how they presented themselves. The skinny bloke look like he got shat out by the fat bloke. They’re both poorly dressed and their bandanas covering their faces are graced with traces of snot and spitting tobacco. Furthermore their manifesto stapled to their crude over-pass style bedsheet banner has numerous typos such as ‘Wimmen’ and missing the all important C in the word ‘Fuck’. Which is ironic given they are clearly a pair of fuckwads.’
Hadrog and Ghent copped considerable abuse from passing workers – ranging from pointed avoidance of proffered ribbons to outright telling the duo that they were ‘cretins’, ‘gits’, or ‘a twin set of classic examples of the distilled essence of the worst aspects of Australian ockerism.’
Hadrog and Ghent said they were inspired to offer ribbons by their membership of the Blackshirts anti women movement, whose hatred of the concept of ‘your seed, your breed, you pay’ that is part of modern progressive cultures has led blackshirts to stand outside the houses of member’s ex partners with abusive posters and make threatening announcements via megaphones.
‘Dem blackshirts know about them bitches,’ said Hadrog, winking and tapping his nose. ‘They know the three holes is just there to make babies and not wear shoes and cook me fuckin’ tea without fuckin’ burnin’ it.’
Hadrog and Ghent then high fived each other but quickly took flight the moment the local chapter of ‘Dykes on bikes’ arrived on the scene to have words in regards to the Association’s viewpoints and offer a countervailing argument involving the insertion of 100 white ribbons in somewhere unpleasant.

One of the arguments that I find particularly stupid is the.
ReplyDelete"What about in self defence!?! are we supposed to let women hit us!?!" - Random misogynist...
Self defence isn't an act of violence. Violence means to violate, and even killing someone in self defence (when killing is nescessary to defend one's life) is not actually an act of violence. Nobody is asking guys not to defend themselves, people are asking guys not to beat up on women.
Then there's the other allegation of "they are trying to make me feel guilty." - Another random misogynist.
This kind of argument is stupid for the same reason that the "they are trying to make white people feel guilty" line of reasoning is stupid; it's a strawman. Just like Jackie Huggins on reconciliation and the stolen generation ("nobody is expecting people to feel guilty"), nobody is expecting innocent men to feel guilty for the crimes of guilty men. They just want the support of innocent men, which quite frankly is fair; stopping men from beating up women is a worthwhile cause.
THe simple fact is that they cry babies who call guilt, feel guilt for one reason. They may not have discriminated against a black person, they may not have beaten up a women, but they know deep down that they are either racist and/or misogynists.
They should quit blaming activists for their own inadequacies, because their own inadequacies are their own problem for them to own and solve themselves. Furthermore, they are getting in the way of people who actually have an honest and justifiable cause, not a callow, dishonest and dishonerable urge.
Weak minded crybabies the lot of them.
Amen. I supported today. Had my ribbon in my lanyard and all.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right. Hopefully the message will get thru.
Mikey please tell me that was satire ... Im having trouble understanding if this was a true story or something you made up to highlight a point. If it's true I think really I am just going to blow.
ReplyDeleteI've had a shitful day and this would just top it off.
Nah, just satire. I did like the idea of some 'Dykes on Bikes' hunting down a pair of mysogynists and inserting ribbons in them...
ReplyDeleteOK. Good. Yes. Indeed. Very funny :)
ReplyDeleteI had my white ribbon too today. I also bought one for my daughter! Its so sad that still in this country the highest killer of women is domestic violence.
Thanks for the solidarity.
I never realised it was the greatest killer.
ReplyDeleteYou just never hear about it as much as you should I guess.
Nice Mikey.
ReplyDeleteWhat about a Beige Ribbon Day - to support victims of passive aggressive attacks?
Larry,

Are you being serious, or are you passively alluding to something? ;)
Bruce
You know you're doing well when it's hard to tell if it's satire or not :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I knew it was satire... I'm still wondering about Larry's comment...
ReplyDeleteSorry, it was satire. The give-away was the word 'beige'. Never will there be a serious awarenes campaign involving any ribbons, bandanas, noses, wrist-bands, or other rubber jewelry involving the colour beige.
ReplyDeleteHang on a sec, are you satirically alluding to some passive allusion on my part, or are you being serious. Now I'm confused.
Passive-aggression is still a real problem of course.

ReplyDeleteI can't remember... maybe a bit of both?

Tell me about it! Phew!
