And you have to credit Object with some guts after the failure last year in terms of turn out for the Paul Raymond awards they have started early this year and have already created a facebook event for people to say they are going and then not turn up because they struggle deciding if they should be shouting rapist or loser. However reading the event I had to bite my tongue as whoever created the event has decided to make reference to a couple of "porn stars" being photographed topless in the street during the early hours of the morning. Now this is nothing unusual in any town or city on a Friday or Saturday night so my gut reaction is disgust at this attempt to "slut shame" which your average feminist is usually against. If you go off and read quotes about "slut shaming" you realise that often it is radical feminists who struggle with the concepts around nudity and dress.
Feminists point out (and rightly) women should be allowed to dress how they want without fear of sexual assault or rape and yet we have radical feminists slut shaming and putting the blame on rape for men seeing women with little or nothing on as though men have no self control but of course they must have self control because women should be able to wear what they like. I would like to quote “Any regulated dress code from bikinis to burqas assumes that men are weak, impulsive, and untrustworthy.Yet, we know men can be strong, disciplined and trustworthy. Dressing for success is dressing without this sexism.” ― Christyl Rivers.
And lets think about public behaviour especially the night Object protested outside Xbiz using vile and abusive language and being photographed intoxicated. Just what does Object think they are doing if they believe they can comment on other peoples' behaviour when they cannot keep their own house in order. So if enough people turn up to the protest I do hope they remember that in all probability they will be photographed, videoed and written about. And whatever Object do to campaign about SEVs this blog will be there ready to counter anything that is not 100% factual.

ReplyDeleteThe decision whether to shout, "Rapist!" or, "Loser!" is a simple one: it's based on whether the attendee of the event in question is male or female! ;-)
Of course, the decision whether to shout either, or to engage in a half-hearted chant of, "Object: womyn, not sex objects!", is based on whether or not one wants a video of the protest to appear on YouTube later...
Well I look forward to them embarrassing themselves and hopeful we will have yet more fun video footage of the saintly object members doing nothing stupid (end sarcasm font)

ReplyDeleteOperating its usual double standards, of course!
But I am sure when they are sitting in the local ethically sourced coffee shop doing their planning they pretend they will behave better this time. They expect the rest of the world to behave how they want and lose it when people have their own minds.
DeleteWell, there has to be a vanguard organisation for Britain's 'womyn', doesn't there? ;-)
DeleteAnd they are setting such a wonderful example for the kiddies they are supposedly protecting.
