Drink Spiking

I wanted to bring up the Issue of Drink Spiking. Here in Australia it is a big problem, although the media don’t really like to talk about it. I don’t know the actual statistics, but listening friends and peoples stories it seems to happen alot. It has happened to four friends of mine and one was a guy, his drink had been spiked on two seperate occasions the second time left him hospitalised for 3 days.

I really believe that more should be done to stop drink spiking and really start to prosecute the perpetrators of this horrible act. Its bad enough that when we go out night clubbing we have to put up with rude/sexist comments, inappropriate touching and grabbing. But on top of that we have to watch our drinks like hawks, so we don’t end up being sexually assaulted or seriously injured while being drugged and unconscious.

Friends that have shared their experiences with me, have total memory loss of the events that took place having never remembered what actually happened. And unfortunatly alot of the time these women just end up as statistics with the police not wanting to know about their ordeals.

I understand that the process of stopping drink spiking can be quite difficult as it hard to catch people as it is such a sneeky act, but im certain there must ways that this crime can be combated. Things like education and public awareness with government funding and community ...

Female Strippers

A couple of weeks ago I went to a guy friends going away party, and his girlfriend and brother got him a stripper.

I did not know what to expect having never seen a female stripper in action, I wasn’t going to watch at first but the 3 other females convinced me to stay and oh my it was a sight.

I’m not judging or criticising women for being strippers and I’m sure there might be feminist strippers out there, and I’m not trying to offend anyone here. But what this stripper did in a suburban backyard in the barbecue area on a rug on the floor in front of young drunk men makes kinda think, have things have gone to far ...

Abortion Trial

I’m not sure if this story made international headlines, but here in Australia a young couple from the State of Queensland are on trial for using the abortion pill.

As abortion is illegal in the state of Queensland the couple are on trial for using the imported pills in order for her to terminate the pregnancy.

The accused Tegan Simone Leach could face a maximum of seven years in jail for using the abortion pill. The coverage on the news stated that the abortions laws in Queensland are over 100 years old, and the only time that an abortion is permitted is if the fetus has a birth defect.

Out of the seven states and territories in Australia only two states have ...

Sexism (but don’t worry it’s funny)

Today I sat down in front of my new Sky tv and chose to watch two sitcoms that I’ve heard high praise for from others; one was Everybody Loves Raymond and the other was Two and a Half Men. I was shocked at the level of sexism in both these supposedly funny shows.
In the first one the only two female members of the cast are both housewives and both seem fine with their fat lazy do-nothing-and-then-moan-about-it husbands. Is this really the type of message the show wants to send? That it’s OK to act like a gigantic arsehole (if you’re a man) because the women will put up with this until you say some remotely placatory statement designed to ...
