Local La Barbe feminists would win big at Le Boring

Not unlike the occutards who disrupted a Perth City Council meeting laughably claiming to champion "freedom of speech", spoiled brat feminist bimbos made nuisances of themselves at a Melbourne Mining Club event being held at the Melbourne Town Hall. Their tragically inane and puerile demonstration involved wearing fake beards and handing out awards for sexism to some of those attending.

The haughty hoydens actually looked quite young; certainly no older than thirty (a number that also described their collective IQ, no doubt). How sad that these activists were employing the kind of agit-prop that would have been yawn-inducing way back in the seventies, a decade long before they were even born.

Sadder still, and in another parallel with the Occupy "movement", La Barbe Australia is a local version of a French feminist "satirical" group. How's that, eh? They're thick, obnoxious, irrelevant and not even original.

If these dippy airheads were to refocus even a tenth of the energy they expend on railing against a fictional "patriarchy" and being total asshats in public they might actually achieve something of value in the real world. Hell, women have been doing it for ages anyway. Catch up, chicky-babes!

Since they're so fond of giving out awards, I'll suggest one for them. It's both geographically appropriate and one that they richly deserve: the coveted Gold Bore at the world renowned Le Boring festival.

Yeah, I know it's just a fictional French event dreamed up by the Goodies, but it's the thought that counts.

Occupy Melbourne tent fashionista gets dressing down

With apologies to Ted Nugent, here's an event that could be described as intensity in tent city. See, the cops have torn a tent dress from one of the Occupy Melbourne moonbats, and assorted quarterwits are all asquitter.

Milking the act for all its worth, the ranga drama queen said: "This is not consensual. Don’t take my clothes off.’’

That's some impressive victim-playing. She managed to weave in a false accusation of sexual harassment, as well as the standard "police brutality" line.

And that theme was adeptly picked up by fellow moonbat Tal Slome, who turned it into a wider critique of society:

Ms Slome described the incident as a "completely unnecessary form of brutality. Who decides what constitutes clothing in our society?"

I can see this incident being examined over and over in po-mo women's studies courses in coming years ... And maybe the gay rights crowd will take it up as well. After all, wearing a tent as a dress certainly qualifies as pretty camp.

CHOGM chuckles in Perth's Forrest Place

Living in Perth as I do, I just had to head down to CHOGM to check out the activist action on Friday. I have to say I was intrigued by the poster that had been up at various locations for quite a while.

The doe-eyed babe shown sassily speaking truth to power was undeniably striking. Would I see such a graceful and feisty creature prancing among the Occupy Perth, anti-CHOGM throng?

Sadly, no. It seems that at the typical leftist watering hole there are no gazelles, only, er, wildebeest.

Who gnu?

I had a wander through the crowd:

It was disappointingly small, particularly when you consider how much promotion had been done for the demo -- as well as all the media attention it had received.

Tellingly, the busker who showed up completely unannounced managed to pull a much bigger crowd -- and a more racially diverse one at that. (As is usually the case at such purportedly anti-racist gatherings, smug middle class whitey-tighties formed the overwhelming majority.)

Events such as the CHOGM protest have a reputation for producing some classic silly signs. And this one did not disappoint. To be honest I felt a little guilty taking photographs of them only because I thought they were so bloody stupid (and intended to say so on this blog). But those holding them seemed quite chuffed that I was doing so. Really, it was like taking candy from a baby -- and a sleeping one at that.

Anyway, for your amusement, here's an assortment:

And monarchi is slavery ... which is clearly why the Queen seems never to have been so popular in Australia as she is now.

I must admit that I was keen to join these brave cyberspace warriors and become a hero too!

But how could I do that if I didn't know who they were?

One guy was big on quoting lauded wordsmiths of yore:

Spot on. To which I'd like to add: And none are more hopelessly misguided than those who falsely believe they are changing the world .. by holding up signs.

I can't be sure, but I think this same guy produced a couple of others with a literary bent.

Eh?

Considering that the joint was chockas with people who were no doubt pleased as punch about the silencing of Andrew Bolt, and that placard was only metres away from a flag proudly displaying the hammer and sickle, it did seem more than a tad ironic and sinister ...

... Orwellian, even.

Still, I shouldn't be too hard on the signs. Some of them were quite sad, and did induce feelings of pity. Like these poor waifs who had been abandoned by their creators. They were all apologetic and huddling together for comfort:

Awww ... that's okay. You little cardboard cuties, you.

The banners were highly entertaining as well -- particularly when seen in context. Take the one below:

I mean, where were the women?

Hmm. Perhaps the five white blokes were all attitudinally reconstructed male feminists, and they were taking a brave stand sit?

Though somehow I think that's unlikely. A much better explanation: This was an invasion by obnoxious misogynous phallocrats determined to crush the rebellion. If so, then this must be the only photograph of the actual patriarchy ever taken!

Take a good look at their faces, sisters. Those are the five guys who've been oppressing you all these eons.

The WA police force did have some officers determined to infiltrate the demo by posing as activists. Clearly, the operation failed.

Considering the rather inactive condition of the, er, activist shown above, it would be reasonable to conclude that the sign had been placed there by another protestor as some sort of cruel attempt at humour.

Nah! Impossible. Leftists are compassionate, remember. Only a nasty conservative could have done such a hateful thing. 

Well, one can only wonder what this was meant to mean ...

If to be gay is to be good (which it is) then this is an exhortation to homphobia. And if homophobia is bad (which it is) then this is an insult to all gays.

Either way, clearly a hate crime has been committed. Justice Mordy Bromberg and Ron Merkel QC, your next high profile show trial awaits!
