By In the most recent fit of moral panic over unruly men, the Daily Mail’s : Cindy Tran reports that an Australia based private Facebook group, Bloke’s Advice, some 200,000 members strong, is a white hot cauldron of hatred of women.
Armed with a collection of screen shots and bushels of righteous indignation, Tran both reports on and makes personal commentary about what she calls sickening, extreme, misogynistic, degrading and vile displays of advocacy for rape, revenge porn and domestic violence.
After draining herself of adjectives to describe how awful the group of blokes really is, she mentions another Facebook page, Red Hearts Campaign, another one of Australia’s seemingly endless stream of women only advocacy groups.
Red Hearts Campaign, possibly an aspiring version of the very lucrative White Ribbon Campaign, infiltrated Blokes Advice and launched a name and shame campaign on the members, ultimately getting the group shut down.
I am sure that will do a lot of good. None of those guys will ever be able to talk on the internet again, unless it is some place like socfreespeech.com, which won’t be closed down due to lack of spine in the management.
At any rate. I read the complete article by Tran, which took all of four minutes because I am a slow reader. After doing so, it leaves me with two things I need to say.
