No surprise to observe the media, led by the usual loudmouth feminists, go off their heads at the report that a group of immature lads ‘sexually assaulted’ a team of sex-workers hired to entertain them. The hysteria was embarrassing. All this shrieking, screaming and breast-beating went on while no charges had been made. No surprise that not only the lads were convicted of abusing the sex-workers but the whole population of males. This was led by the famously man-hating Governor-General. We’re all guilty, guilty of the original sin of being male, which is a permanent insult to the angelic female sex. Of course, we had to have the legal vultures fly in to do their despicable work. Bettina Arndt makes the right case against the embarrassing feminist tumult.

No Swans Song
– One hotel room. Every man on trial.
Bettina Arndt, Aug 26, 2026
The Swans fiasco had it all. Here was feminism’s prized foe — brash young footballers hoovering up millions for kicking a ball — caught in the mother of all own goals. An early morning hotel frolic, paid strippers, industrial quantities of drugs, and a sexual assault allegation. Christmas had come early for the culture warriors.
And boy, did they line up to tar and feather the five young men caught up in it. Captain Callum Mills set the tone early, fronting the cameras looking suitably shattered to declare that the whole sorry affair had caused him to “put the mirror up” — not just at his five teammates, mind you, but at “all men within society.”
Every bloke in the country, apparently, now owed the nation an apology for something that happened in a hotel room he’d never set foot in. “We need to do better,” Mills intoned, apparently unaware that most men were fast asleep at 5am that Monday morning, not haggling over spanking surcharges in a Melbourne hotel room.
