We're not everyone's fucking mom. I wish they would stop trying to enforce wholesome benevolence in our behavior like we're biological doormats.

Women need to do more to protect women's rights.

Everyone needs to do more to protect children's rights.

Then this bullshit got retweeted by a "women's" organization March4Justice, which calls itself "A community action organisation focused on achieving equality for all humans by seeking equality, justice, respect and fairness.

This is like saying that the chicken needs to do more to help make the nuggets.

They need us to protect trans rights like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, not being butchered by doctors in experimental treatments, etc. That's what we are doing.

Turns out March4Justice is having protest marches in Australia - it seems like its another "womens" org that has been hijacked by Trans, Inc.

Any Australians here who can tell us what's up?

I've never heard of March4Justice until recently. There's been a sexual assualt incident which has happened in our parliament house, committed by a senior staffer, the victim Brittany Higgins (she gave a talk about how women are unfairly punished in parliament and not men when there are staffer relationships, and the attitudes politicians and emoloyees have towards women in general. Also our attorney general (the primary responsibility of this role is to protect the rule of law and the integrity of the Courts) Christian Porter is accused of raping a girl many years ago and she has committed suicide (which we suspect is a murder). Part of the protest was a talk given by Brittany Higgins how women working in parliament are punished and not the males whenever someone has sexual relations with a party staffer. Some of us also suspect that Higgins did not commit suicide and it was a murder. Also her boyfriend had to leave his job because of fear his company will "suffer government reprisals".

I don't know all of the details, but I can give you links to a few things related to this case and what they're fighting for:

In Australia, our "Liberal" party is not a "woke" party, it's a party which caters to the rich. We do have a woke party, it's called "The Greens". Also, Porter is the same guy that implemented "robodebt" which calculated the debt which people on welfare owe, it was a horrible system as it over calculated and it caused many undue stress and even drove someone to suicide. By the way our welfare system is called "Centrelink". I thought I'll tell you in case you get confused when reading the Australia reddit and researching this piece of shit.

Anyway, I don't know how much TRAs have hijacked the protest but it seems very little or none at all considering I live under a rock and I have university studies. I've only seen articles and posts related to the assault case. As far as I know, it's mainly been focus on the corruption happening in our parliament house. A girl was raped, a security guard saw the suspect taking the girl to an office and the security guards did their job and there's possibly a cover up, everyone is focused on the attorney-general and corruption currently happening in our parliament house.

Edit: Amended some information

Thanks for the thorough explanation! The whole thing sounds horrible.

I actually lived in Australia and loved it - just a gorgeous country. Although, when I lived there - decades ago - it was extremely sexist. Sad to hear that it might still be that way to some extent. I remember some Australian politicians being a bit over-the-the top and found them really amusing because they were such obnoxious loudmouths (kind of like some US politicians are now), but some were definitely male chauvinist pigs.

I hope that justice is done for Brittany Higgins, and the rape survivor, and also that March4Justice hasn't been taken over by TiMs. I was actually shocked that Australia has been as infiltrated by gender ideology as it has, because most of the Australians I met were very down-to-Earth and took the piss out of everything.

Sorry, I made a mistake, Higgins wasn't the one who committed suicide, it was a different person. They were both raped though.

She left behind a diary.

It's beginning to spread in Australia, University of Technology Sydney has "All gender" toilets, my university (a different university) have pronoun badges, but only so far has "her/she" and "he/him". I'm notbsurprised this type of culture exists in Australia, it's in all countries because "humans will be humans" (no one is a saint, however it would be nice if people aren't so bad that we need to set up laws to sue them and put them in jail as a deterrant). Majority of Australians were originally conservative, much like the North Americans, but over time we're getting progressive and soon, we might end up with the gender political mess you're seeing in North America.

That gender ideology has gotten so far in Australia really depresses me. I was counting on you all to stay strong and just laugh at how ridiculous the whole thing is.

I mean, many people in the US, once exposed to gender ideology, think it's a crock, and I thought Americans would be more susceptible to it than Australians given how fad-addicted we are.

Well, it's not as far as you think, it's beginning to take toddler steps. I haven't had any "It's ma'am" moments nor witnessed it, I have seen what looks to be a guy in a shirt and a skirt walking around before and I think I may have seen a male uni student with that. I remember there was this Chinese girl who lives in an expensive area of Sydney, she has problems with her parents and she's a lesbian who was dating a girl, but then ended that relationshil because said girl didn't want ti enter a three-way relationship and then decided to identify as trans and call her clearly heterosexual photos "gay" and her lingerie photos "cute boy" somethibg and something in the tag or psot description on tumblr and last time I checked, she stopped dating and still calls herself trans and yet still looks like a girl and wears "woke" clothing that looks loke its bought from etsy. "How is this relevant?" you are probably thinking right now, this same girl also aims to be a psychologist who majors in gender studies, and is actually encouraged (I don't remember if it's from her psychologist or a career adivsor), she has anxiety (and crappy misogynistic asian parents who may have caused that anxiety because they wanted a "boy" as she did state on Tumblr that is why her brother who is many years younger than her) and she intends to counsel people and apply her major. As far as I know we don't have trans-related laws, but we might be going that way.

On a hilarious note, I did wonder if she was pretending so her dad would give her something when he dies but then I remember her aim is to be a psychologist and she's doing gender studies. She also thinks the Ballad of Mulan is a trans related thing (I know it's bad but I use to stalk her Tumblr to laugh at the stupid things she says when I'm bored, also she put it on social media so it's out there for everyone to look at).

Australia has some trans-related laws. There's an Australian chapter of Save Women's Sports in response and also Tasmanian senator Claire Chandler has stood up to the gender lobby pretty vocally.

There are some Australian rad fems on Twitter. If I see them again I'll send you their twitter handles.

Hey, I know this is not relevant, but I was reading a famous fanfiction (I'm assuming the author is North American because she attends local comic cons there) and some character said they hit puberty and another character responded with disgust (and it was innocent, the kid was explaining how he grew extra tall). I don't think I've ever seen that reaction in Australia, but in American media I tend to see that, is it just thought the boy who hits puberty just sweats and grows a bigger dick that grosses people out (and girls having their periods)? or is there something else I don't know?

[–]BEB[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No idea. But I'm old and don't really have anything to do with kids of puberty age.
