If you’ve never heard of Blokes Advice, consider yourself lucky. The invite-only Australian Facebook page is a place dedicated to men posting humiliating photos and degrading stories about women, where more than 200,000 followers encourage domestic violence, revenge porn and rape in a string of illiterate posts. To say it’s disgusting would be an understatement.
The page has since been taken down thanks to the Red Heart Campaign, a domestic violence support group who found the page and demanded it be stopped. “Some members went so far as to post the contact details and phone numbers of women they knew and encouraged others to bombard them with disgusting imagery and texts,” the charity’s founder Sherle Moody stated in a Facebook post. “Since the group was exposed, a few members have tried to defend its sick practices.”
That’s pretty hard to do when screenshots exist.
Lovely. Unfortunately there was worse, like this guy, who encouraged followers to send vulgar images to this woman’s Snapchat.
“Righto lads I need a hand putting this minga in her place,” the post reads. “She loves a dirty Snapchat or two (sus the photo below) and she is the definition of extreme feminazi and as we all know there’s no place for feminism in this world.” He then posted her phone number. “Now what I’m asking is to send her the most f*cked up sh*t you can think of… do us a solis and put this ganga in her place.”
These types of posts flooded the Facebook group, and yet, members still managed to stick up for what they were doing. Here’s their idiotic reasoning:
Ok… so because it’s a secret group, it’s ok to completely degrade women and encourage violence and harassment against them? Not only is that reasoning vile, but inhumane. Get your sh*t together and do something better with your time.
