Red Pill Girl Here, How ‘Bout You?
Since high school, I’ve been looking at the world through my feminist glasses. These glasses are a bit like the two pills that the main character in The Matrix, Neo, has to choose between. He is offered a red pill or a blue pill — the peaceful status quo or the painful realism. In high school, I chose the red pill.

Music For When You Despair That There Are Way Too Many Stupid Girls: P!nk – Stupid Girls
Lyric Love
Stupid girl, stupid girls, stupid girls
Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back
Porno Paparazzi girl, I don’t wanna be a stupid girl
Go to Fred Segal, you’ll find them there
Laughing loud so all the little people stare
Looking for a daddy to pay for the champagne
(Drop a name)
What happened to the dreams of a girl president
She’s dancing in the video next to 50 Cent
They travel in packs of two or three
With their itsy bitsy doggies and their teeny-weeny tees
Where, oh where, have the smart people gone?
Oh where, oh where could they be?
Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back
Porno Paparazzi girl, I don’t wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blond hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don’t wanna be a stupid girl
(Break it down now)
Disease’s growing, it’s epidemic
I’m scared that there ain’t a cure
The world believes it and I’m going crazy
I cannot take any more
I’m so glad that I’ll never fit in
That will never be me
Outcasts and girls with ambition
That’s what I wanna see
Disasters all around
World despaired
Their only concern
Will they **** up my hair
Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back
Porno Paparazzi girl, I don’t wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blond hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don’t wanna be a stupid girl
[Interlude]
Oh my god you guys, I totally had more than 300 calories
That was so not sexy, no
Good one, can I borrow that?
[Vomits]
I WILL BE SKINNY
(Do ya thing, do ya thing, do ya thing)
(I like this, like this, like this)
Pretty will you **** me girl, silly as a lucky girl
Pull my head and suck it girl, stupid girl!
Pretty would you **** me girl, silly as a lucky girl
Pull my head and suck it girl, stupid girl!
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blond hair back
Push up my bra like that, stupid girl!
Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back
Porno Paparazzi girl, I don’t wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blond hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don’t wanna be a stupid girl
Observationally Speaking, Women Need To Speak The Fuck Up
Ahhh and in further news, feminist blogger, Scarlett Harris ponders, where are the women in the misogyny debate?
Umm .. with their pretty little heads up their passive little asses maybe?
I feel a rant coming on. I am so sick of being surrounded by women who consider themselves intelligent, socially aware, pro-social justice who are seemingly unable to identify sexism and misogyny, let alone take a stand against it.
They don’t seem to know the issues, or even want to know about them. It’s as though they are too afraid to be conscious. Too afraid to confront the world around them. They are more concerned for instance, about the label on Nigella’s handbag than they are about the fact she was just assaulted. They are more worried that Julia Gillard is an “unattractive redhead” than they are about the gender politics being used to pull her under.
I’d be even more pissed off if I didn’t clearly see that so many women can’t help themselves let alone each other.
Observationally Speaking, We Need To Unfuck The World
Is it weird that I feel disgusted that @feministswift could amass 76,000 followers in 6 days while not even 1 person could intervene when Charles Saatchi had Nigella Lawson by the throat?
Because you know, Saatchi has been cautioned by police for assault after grabbing wife Nigella’s throat during a lunch out at a swank London restaurant.
But hey … he was ‘just’ emphasising his point, there was “no grip” during this “playful tiff”….
and we all walk away from our fun playful tiff times, looking like this …
What does “cautioned”even mean in this context? Be careful, squeezing people’s throats has been known to cause death?
John Birmingham (A Man) Says It’s A Shameful Week To Be A Man
I mean, what is it with you losers? Do you genuinely hate women? Or are you just too stupid to live and breed? I mean that literally. The gene pool would be better without you. Yes, Sattler, I’m looking at you. And your mate, Akerman. And that restaurant owner with the sub-moronic sense of humour. And the misogynist fools the Chief of the Army is talking to here. And that slobbering waste of human skin married to Nigella Lawson. And seemingly 95 per cent of the communters on Youtube. And the army of dickless wonders stinking up Xbox Live. And the celebrated rapists of rugby league. And that soccer coach with the delightful Dark Ages twist on marital relations. And and and …
- John Birmingham
Yeah, It’s been a hell of a ‘what the fuck men’ week. John Birmingham summed it up well in his post A Shameful Week To Be A Man. I was sickened by the Nigella Lawson D/V story, both by Charles Saatchi – but ALSO by all the people who stood by while he had his hands around her throat throttling her. WTF people. How terrifying must it have been for Nigella to be in a highly public place, knowing people were watching her being strangled, but not one person stood up to help. They were too busy taking photos with their iPhones. How very powerless and vulnerable she must feel, to know that she can be abused in broad day light, in public and no one will help her. Abuse feels humiliating and shaming for most people. This shame is compounded when in a culture that turns a blind eye and permits it. I won’t even get started on what I think of the system response ie. police courts etc..
It was a highlight of my week when Lieutenant General David Morrison issued his get out statement and told the Australian Defence Force to treat women with respect – but it didn’t take the sting out of all the gaming community bullshit for me. After all, those men aren’t seeing the light, not at all.
It’s great when men see the deal. It’s even better when they call it as they see it. Directly. Publically. Thank you Lieutenant General David Morrison. Thank you John Birmingham. Thank you for being men.
