Hi everyone i hope you're all well so it seems that the culture war is swinging back in the
direction of feminism heaven help us i mean we all know how sjw's a bandwagon is i mean from 2017 to
2021 the trending gripes went hate speech feminism climate change trans activism back to climate
change covered for like half a minute critical race theory and now they've gone back to feminism
at least in australia although this particular issue has grabbed international attention here's
the situation down under in mid-february a young woman named brittany higgins a liberal party
staffer which is the party currently in government went on national television and alleged that she
had been sexually assaulted in parliament house by a fellow liberal party staffer after a night out
she claims he plied her with alcohol led her from the venue back to parliament house let himself
and herself back in with his security pass which is a serious security breach by the way and then
assaulted her on a couch in the office of the minister of defense it's really not great now
just for the record i will remind you americans out there that the liberal party in australia
is actually the conservative party we use the word liberal correctly in my country that is liberal as
in classical liberal small government individual liberty enlightenment values that kind of thing
i'm continually disappointed that the american left has claimed and bastardized such a lovely
word anyway this caused an uproar as you can imagine i mean it's a very alarming allegation
and there was a big push by the left and some of the right-wing moderates to call out the supposed
workplace culture in parliament and of course a big push to demonize the liberal party and
pointedly prime minister scott morrison as hostile to women hashtags like scotty the rape
apologists have been trending on twitter a lot soon after this allegation was made public another
allegation emerged in the form of an email sent to various politicians on the left and right that in
1988 a senior member of scott morrison's cabinet had sexually assaulted a woman in sydney the
accused was eventually revealed to be attorney general christian porter who vehemently denied
that it happened however there were a number of problems with the allegation first and foremost
the woman who made the allegation had very sadly taken her own life mid last year after pausing
the police investigation she initiated into the issue second the nature of the allegation was
less than straightforward to put it delicately and i'm not going to i'm not going to outline
it here of course but i've put some links in the video description and i recommend you press pause
right now and have a quick read of it in order to contextualize this issue for yourselves
so the less than straightforward allegation plus the fact it is an historical alleged offense plus
the fact that the poor woman in question is no longer with us of course means that there is
simply not enough admissible evidence for the police to do anything about it nor is
there any justification for the prime minister to launch an investigation into christian porter now
common sense would tell you that this is the appropriate course of action but of course the
activists in the media were not having it and it has been trending for weeks now as has the britney
higgins allegation much longer incidentally than these kinds of stories would organically trend for
in normal times but thanks to a slow news cycle because everything is covered plus the fact that
the labor party has absolutely nothing to campaign on at the upcoming election because scott morrison
is like so popular right now labor and its lefty supporters in the mainstream media are
desperate for anything to smear scott morrison with anyway on march 15th a march was held
called the march for justice with participants all around australia turning out to protest violence
and sexual violence against women call out the workplace hostility towards women that apparently
permeates parliament and imploring the government to do better in its handling of the allegations
what exactly they mean by do better they have not specified but since they don't actually
like the government and in fact want them to do badly that is probably not surprising
now here's the thing i don't have any problem with the march itself some people were definitely
there in good faith and i am very much in favor of peaceful protest it is one of the ultimate
displays of free speech and democracy both of which i am very fond of and look if you
want to talk about parliament workplace culture fine given the number of sociopaths narcissists
egomaniacs megalomaniacs and downright douchebags that tend to be attracted to political careers
i can absolutely imagine it's a crap place to work it would not surprise me at all if
the megalonautical egomaniacal sociopathic narcissistic douchebag men that work there
exercise those personality traits by bullying harassing and diminishing lower level women on
a gendered level that's what sexual harassment is in essence bullying it is instigated to humiliate
intimidate belittle and control someone who is usually less powerful than the aggressor gendered
bullying which is what these women are protesting and considering the type of people who work there
parliament would seem a breeding ground for that kind of behavior to be perfectly honest and i
am not one to flash the toxic sexist work culture card willy nilly by the way i'm pretty discerning
now i've never worked in parliament and i do not ever intend to but i can imagine it's a not fun
and i'd imagine that some of the male staffers also have a really rotten time at the hands of
the powerful although it would manifest itself in different ways like say being publicly humiliated
yelled at and emasculated it's all bullying so yeah go for it call out the workplace culture in
parliament because i bet it really sucks the march itself is not what i have a problem with i have
a problem with the journalists and activists who are pushing and organizing this movement for two
reasons the first problem i have with them is as i mentioned they are political operatives who are
augmenting this issue to take a a dig at the government and especially the prime minister
they seem to be hoping that if they say scott morrison and rape in the same sentence enough
times then something will stick which by the way does not seem to be working
scott morrison's approval rating has barely shifted this month after all of this including
among liberal women voters which i'm sure these anti-morrison activists are very disappointed
about considering the gargantuan effort they have put into the smearing i mean all those hashtags
but i digress we can see the bad faith of these journalist activists in the fact that
not a single journalist contacted christian porter about the allegations made against
him prior to him giving a press conference to announce he was at the center of it all
while it hadn't been officially announced prior to this press conference everybody had figured
it out it wasn't hard if the journalists who were reporting on this were acting in good faith rather
than gleefully jumping on a chance to smear their least preferred political party they would have
contacted christian porter to get his perspective and give him a right of reply but of course they
didn't because they suck also the organizer of the march itself a lady by the name of janine hendry
is very evidently based on her own statements and actions intending to get the morrison government
out of power at the upcoming election for example on january 21st this year she tweeted this
we need a lincoln project team in australia if we're going to truly get the message of
hashtag scotty from marketing and his lackey's incompetence lies and rotting out there we need
to get organized hit me up with your ideas we need cash leadership and a band of creatives so we all
know that the lincoln project is an american kind of super pac founded by rhinos to demonize trump
and influence conservatives specifically to vote against him evidently janine wants to organize
the same thing in australia for scott morrison and the liberal party which would indicate that
she has a very strong political agenda only the lincoln project is probably not the best group to
model herself on considering they spent millions and millions of dollars but trump's base remained
as strong as ever and also the head honcho turned out to be a predator but whatever now as to how
that agenda extends to the march for justice well janine was invited by the prime minister to attend
a meeting with him and the minister for the status of women to discuss the concerns of the movement
and form potential solutions now somebody who was actually interested in improving workplace culture
eradicating sexual violence and violence against women and sexual harassment and
advising the government how to respond better to allegations all of which janine seemingly wants
to do would have jumped at the opportunity only janine refused to attend the meeting
instead making some theatrical point about how could she and just a couple of others fully
relay the concerns of a hundred thousand women at the march and why wouldn't scott morrison instead
come outside and meet with them all in other words and in my opinion she doesn't seem interested in
solutions she seems interested only in political theater it's very immature among a lot of other
things so essentially feminists journalists and left-wing activists are weaponizing other people's
pain and trauma to push their own political goals and quite frankly they all disgust me
particularly since given my experience of feminists and left-wing activists they would
degrade and abuse britney higgins to the sky if she wasn't currently politically useful to them
because she was a staffer to a conservative political party you know how they feel about
conservative women they would be calling her a boy suck a pic me a handmade and desperate for
male attention and capitulating to the status quo and a bootlegger of the patriarchy and a gender
traitor etc etc all those things they call women who they perceive to be on the wrong team
i would not be surprised that once poor britney is no longer useful to them they will ditch her and
never think of her again we all remember what happened to christine blasey ford the second
problem i have is that these feminist activists are behaving as if they have their fingers on
the pulse of what women generally are thinking and feeling article after article has appeared
stating that there is widespread anger and women are fed up and they've had enough and this is a
cultural movement and a cultural shift and women are tired of all this an article in the melbourne
publication the age encapsulated this kind of banter with there is widespread frustration indeed
incredulity among women that after millennia of discrimination and sexual tyranny despite
generations of protests and notwithstanding decades of legislative and cultural changes
to improve women's places in workplaces and the community generally this government still does not
get it women are furious that they cannot enjoy the expansiveness of male privilege and weary
by the perception that despite all else women somehow end up being afterthoughts in a male world
okay i'm sorry but can you not i am so so sick of these loudmouth feminists claiming to speak for
women generally and tacitly implying that the only way for women to be empowered is to be a feminist
and march and scream and tell your truth and smash the patriarch etc etc okay have your opinion but
please just don't project it onto everything with xx chromosomes here's the thing there are
many ways of dealing with the kinds of negative experiences these feminists are talking about
in the case of say myself well i have thankfully never been sexually assaulted and i'd never claim
to speak for those who have i was as a matter of fact in my early twenties sexually harassed quite
badly for a number of years both by men i knew and men i didn't i will not go into it in detail but
suffice to say i had some stuff happen to me but i'm not angry about it in fact i don't care who
cares if you are angry with someone it means they control you and i don't want to be controlled
and i'm not the only woman who feels like this some of us don't need to maintain the rage some
of us are perfectly happy to blame individual men for their individually bad behavior rather
than blaming the entirety of the male species and ending up being fearful of the whole lot of them
now if getting angry and marching is your way of coping fine do that and i will reiterate
i'm only talking about harassment here i would never claim to speak for someone who
has been sexually assaulted but ladies if you do not feel the need to rage
and scream and march and blame all men that's perfectly fine you're not doing anything wrong
you're not letting down women or the sisterhood you are just living your best life which is about
the biggest up yours you can give to someone who has victimized you i reject the notion
that demonizing men as a collective equals female empowerment and i resent the fact that women who
feel the way i do are often admonished as somehow less enlightened than those maintaining the rage
