When it comes to identity politics ..... Victoria is very much Australia’s place to be.
Since late last year, the Victorian government has been headed by a hard-left premier, Jacinta Allan. But voila, this week Allan has put Victoria on the international map with one of the most bizarre pieces of identity politics yet seen from a western government.
On her Twitter account, Allan announced that ‘We have appointed the first Parliamentary Secretary [equivalent to a junior minister] for Men’s Behaviour in Australia’. She’s actually wrong: it appears this is the first appointment of its kind, anywhere.
On seeing Allan’s tweet, you could be forgiven for doing a double take, and thinking it was posted by a parody account. But it’s absolutely true.
....... to assume, as Allan has, that all men are toxic perpetrators-in-waiting is both lazy feminist and identity politics, and an insult to the overwhelming majority of men who deplore family violence of any sort as utterly repugnant, and who strive to be kind and loving husbands, partners and fathers.
That Allan’s sweeping generalisation about men as perpetrators is so unfair and wrong is highlighted by another court case making news in Australia today. A former beauty queen in Tasmania who became an MP for the Labor party, Kathryn Hay, is facing charges in Tasmania alleging a decade of emotional abuse, including alleged related incidents of physical assault, which did great harm to her former male partner and the father of her child. Yet like Queen Victoria’s apocryphal denial that lesbianism exists, the all but unchallenged feminist narrative embraced by the likes of Allan – in Britain as well as Australia – is that men are only to blame for family and relationship violence and abuse, and therefore only women and children warrant protection from such violence.

Give them a year and they'll have some token position for Women's Rights or some other nonsense to claim they're also addressing women.
How moronic to openly create a position of the Minister of Men's Behavior and expect people to treat them as anything other than the sham that they are.
I get why they're doing it - they're terrified because so many men are going Galt or "Lying Flat" and really couldn't care about the machine failing. We're overdue for the Sixth Secession of the Plebians/Deplorables (Secessio plebis), where the Deplorables shut it all down until the Patricians are brought to heel.

The only thing we can do, to bring down the system, is not participate in it and jam the gears along the way. Slow walk everything. If a person is charged with a bs crime, show up by the thousands and admit doing the same crime. Overload the system.
