October 29, 2008 I just called to say…go fuck yourself
The wankers of the week awards go to:
Russell Brand and Jonathon Ross for this fucking crap. Obviously the logic is, if a woman refers to herself as a slut, she’s a worthless piece of shit, to be disrespected and punished and is fair game for moronic jokes of all kinds. Including the kind where you harrass an old man by telling him you fucked/enjoyed his grand-daughter. The clear butt of the joke is he ought to feel shame for having such a ‘slut’ of a grand-daughter, that she is not a proper woman or a proper relative. FUCK YOU TWO PRICKS!
Uniliver for the ad suggesting that women ‘fuck men up’ and men’s lives would be simpled up so much if women were like pot noodle soup. Including, yes, being kept in a cupboard. If you want to fuck a bowl of noodles, or some other inanimate object then go right ahead, but if you want the benifits of a relationship with a real live woman then get some fucking respect quick smart. Or be left to jerk off in the dark in misogynist bitterness after a bowl of those lovely cardboard-tasting unilever products.
Sam in the City for this piece of truly misogynist horseshit. It deserves a post of its own, to examine how any woman human hack op-ed writer could feel comfortable being so contemptuous of all women, everywhere and perpetuate and reinforce such particularly damaging stereotypes of women. (We nag, we can’t help it, we love it, we enjoy to make the men miserable etc etc). So if I have time later I’m going to tear that piece of crap to pieces.
The arsehole who thinks no-one knows s/he found my blog by the search ‘raped while she sleeps free videos’. Rape is NOT entertainment. Go learn that pretty please and I will endeavour to remind myself that violence is NOT something to be embraced, even in your case.
The workman who worked past last week and informed me he had a ‘surprise for me’ and it was a ‘big one’. And his two friends for not saying something to him. You think women don’t KNOW that’s a reminder he could rape me if he wanted to? Disguised as a little joke? “I have a cock and it’s huge, and I love seeing your fear and discomfort”??

The first I’d heard of the Brand and Ross thing was via Stephen Fry’s Twitter, shockingly. He was appalled, and I didn’t know the story. Now I do and I’m appalled. That just…what…no words.

Hi A Public Blogging, I think this was being discussed over at Hoyden About Town, but for me, it’s Halloween and I’ve promised my son we’ll go trick or treating with his friends.

OMFG did anyone read the comments of that Sam in the City fuckwittery? It was literally curling my eyeballs. I had to stop and have a bit of a lie down after only a page or so.
I love this blog BTW – this would be my first comment 🙂

I couldn’t read the comments. The comments on there are ALWAYS hideous, and for that one, the article itself was so infuriating, I would have had to be in particularly self punishing mode. But you know, now I’m curious…some examples?? You can paraphrase.
I am intrigued by curling eyeballs. How does that happen? Does it hurt? Is it permanent?
Thanks for the comment, really glad to hear from you!

Thanks, FP, yeah forgot about the halloween thing, my son is going to a party but it didn’t click with me that’s probably why..lol
That Sam person has got to be stopped. I couldn’t read it fully but freakin’ hell, talk about capitalising on backlash publishing.
Maybe we can start an anti-smh/sam campaign. I’m sure they must be breaching the anti-discrimination act with that shit.
Here’s a comment that caught my eye because I just watched this movie two days ago ( I love action movies, I don’t know why exactly, but I love to analyse them within the social context they were produced and I also love to imagine I am the hero, smashing up the evil enemy, Patriarchy).
“Even Bruce Willis made a tearful phone-call to his wife with both his feet mashed up in Die Hard”
This apparently proves that men somehow need us to mother them, even the tough guys who can perform super-human feats of aggression single-handedly, and against hundreds of other fully-armed men.
Firstly, it was not a teary phone call, no tears at all and he actually hung up before she answered because it came to his attention that yet more super-human action was required.
The whole premise for that scene and many other of the ‘sensitive” scenes, was to show what bitches these career women are and how hard done by all the Good Honest Blokes are, just the innocent victims of the second wave feminazis. Typical of the backlash culture that dominated movies at that time.
No matter that he kills people and laughs about it, drives drunk and at high speed through central park without a thought for the hundreds of people walking there, makes overtly racist comments to Samuel L Jackson’s character, eg.”Oh have I oppressed you? Is that it? “You think you’re oppressed?? You’re racist! You don’t like me because I’m white!”
It’s very very unfair that his wife has a job that she likes and we all have to feel very sorry for Brucey.
I think I’ve been holding that in for a while now, but I’m serious.
Must. Stop. Sam.

Hey, I was reading a whole analysis of the dynamic between him and his wife in Die Hard movies, and how it’s represented as him being the loving/dutiful husband, and it’s actually deeply problematic. I too have enjoyed of the action movie genre – I’ll see if I can track it down for you!
Yeah, I declared war on Sam de Brito…now it seems he’s trying to be the feminist!? See some of his recent (strange and misguided but apparently sincere) Grrl Power articles…this after “I’d never date a fat chick”, women are golddiggers etc…
Anyway, gotta run…more later

Curling of the eyeballs is a painful process, bought on by the reading of extreme fuckmuppetry of the sexist variety. It is not permanent, though does increase the sufferer’s general levels of intolerence. Read some of these gems to induce it in yourself:
“My girlfriend has taken it upon herself to tell me how to dress, where my hair and what to say to her friends when we go out for dinner. Sometimes i dont really care and try to ignore it.. other times I think that if I have to spend the rest of my life like this – I will crumble. Help! If all women are like this, where is the hope??”
and this!
“If I did manage to find a woman who was a good cook and a whore in the bedroom I wouldn’t be making her clean up after me and be worrying about what I was wearing hehe ;-)”
oh, and this one, my favourite!
“”Men are basically lazy bastards when it comes to domestic stuff.”
“What false and negative sterotypical rubbish…..women are FAR more “lazy” than men now….shopping for yourself does NOT count as ‘work’ ladies…..Men built everything you see around you. Women are completely absent in any industry where real work is done. Women like to think they are ‘working hard’ raising kids and keeping house. It’s a joke. Kids go to school from the age of 5. By ANY comparision women today have it easy. 100 years ago there were no washing machines, no micro-waves, no fridges, no dishwashers etc…. In fact MEN invented ALL of these labour saving devices FOR women. The average housewife does less housework now than any time in history. Men are working less hours than 100 years ago…but not much. As far a ‘domestic’ work goes. Men mow lawns, wash cars, clean rooftops and gutters, do the odd plumbing/electrical job around the house, paint, change tyres on the car, build and much more around the house. Men do a great deal of ‘domestic work’ that is never measured in any of these feminist surveys. That women take a long time to do very little doesn’t count. You women really don’t like to deal with the facts of the matter do you.” http://blogs.smh.com.au/lifestyle/asksam/archives/2008/10/do_all_women_want_to_mother_th.html?page=4#comments
My eyeballs are now curled. Fucking fuckwits! *sigh*

The comments are….depressing. You just regain some faith in humans, and then you realise that they’re all just there as it’s a safe space for them to say the things they *know* are wrong, stupid, dangerous etc, but make them feel powerful. This is why I started going through and reporting comments – in one of my previous posts on de Brito, I gave the link (I think) to SMH’s complaints section (the section to complain at if the comments were offensive) as their policy about acceptable comments is reasonable – they just don’t police it (which is just as bad as not having one) – but they respond to email complaints. So occassionally I’ll just trawl through, copy and paste, and email the complaints dept. It’s wonderfully cathartic! 🙂

Ok, so the email address to lodge complaints is . May have included the link to their policy as well, but in a hurry so no time to read it all:

I should have spared myself the agony of reading ‘Sam’s writing’s shitty’ column but apparently I needed to read more crap today.
“Hence he has plenty energy for all the things she can’t do herself, if you get my drift.”
If I am getting her drift, a woman can do such things herself anyhow. The factual content of that one sentence is proportionally reflective of the content of the rest of the column.

Oh, wink wink, nudge nudge huh Sam? I know what you mean though Rayedish, I try to avoid it, I KNOW it’s going to cause pain and facial spasm, but I do it anyway.

After next week my exams are over and my academic year is over, so I will make an effort to read sexist sammy’s column and make official complaints.
I’m good at official comlaining and have done it a lot, its just that with this stuff, well, its bloody everywhere, and I get tired.
But I would like to join you and make sam my summer project.
The media are getting away with more and more of this shit all the time and I dread to imagine where it could end up.

It is tiring. I had fun that day though, staying detached and going “ooh, another offensive comment…report”. But yes, you do need to be in a resillient frame of mind.

Oh no! Helen from Cast Iron Balcony was trying to comment and mentioned needing to be ‘registered’. I thought it was something to do with my blog itself, but I think it’s to do with WordPress…can you tell me what you did do to log in eventually so I can pass that on, as it’s about the third or fourth time someone’s told me they’ve had that problem.
