Incorrect speech by Australian men
From what I can read of the messages concerned, the men writing were mainly complaining about being discriminated against, which is a pretty reasonable comment on the present ruling ideology of feminism. How on earth do women hope to get "respect" from men whom they call "toxic" just for being men? You have to give respect to earn it.
Aussie actor Jordy Lucas has been left stunned by the gross response she’s received after speaking out about domestic violence and misogyny in Australia.
Lucas, 32, who is famous for her stint on the long-running soap Neighbours, took to TikTok to discuss her experience of going to the Melbourne private school Yarra Valley Grammar after hearing about boys from the same school “ranking” their female classmates.
The shocking list was posted on Discord and discovered by the school. It featured photos of female students and ranked them from best to worst as “wifeys”, “cuties”, “mid”, “object”, “get out” and “unrapeable”.
Two of the four boys involved in creating the document were expelled, with the other two suspended and subject to further disciplinary action.
Lucas said she wasn’t “surprised” by the list, even as a former student, because she believes misogyny in Australia is rife at the moment and a fancy education isn’t going to be enough to stop men from becoming sexist.
“Disrespect and violence does not discriminate based on your socio-economic status. We can’t be complacent in believing this behaviour exists only in private school settings. It is everywhere,” she said.
Lucas argued that that kind of list plays a part in the way “men’s attitudes” towards women are developed and shaped.
The Neighbours star pointed out that there’s always going to be a domestic violence crisis in Australia if men don’t respect women.
Twenty-eight women have allegedly been murdered at the hands of a man in Australia in 2024, according to the Counting Dead Women Australia organisation.
Lucas said that the real “irony” in the gross response she received was that people were being sexist to her while telling her that sexism in Australia isn’t a problem.
“So many of these people are angry at me and trying to make me feel like there isn’t a problem?” she said.
She couldn’t believe that the result of expressing how she felt about the state of violence towards women and the “horrifying levels” of disrespect towards women in Australia was just that she’d experience even more sexism.
The actor told news.com.au that the response to her video made her “sad” because this is the world her daughter is growing up in.
“It’s scary that there are so many men walking among us who harbour these feelings towards women. I do wonder how brazen they would be if they weren’t able to make these comments anonymously,” she told news.com.au
Lucas reported the comments to TikTok but was disheartened to find that the comments weren’t getting deleted.
“How vile and hateful does a comment have to be for you to consider it a violation of your community?” she asked.
“I’ve reported so many of these comments but apparently TikTok thinks this is okay. So, there’s really no point wasting my time reporting them. As long as you allow people to anonymously post this kind of vitriol hate and level of disrespect towards women, you’re contributing to the problem.”
