Go on... rape her... she won't report it... [UniLad magazine article]

[Spymaster]

Wtf is a chod?

Pronounced 'chord' it's Hindi/Punjabi/Urdu for 'fuck' or 'fucking', though I doubt that Likesfish knows that.

When we were kids though we used it synonymously with 'shit'. Going for a chod was to take a dump.

 

[Nylock]

The use of 'gay' in a derogatory fashion by so many young people is primarily because it goes completely unchallenged (see Stonewall's 'The School Report' and 'The Teachers Report' and also research by O'Higgens-Norman). They aren't necessarily cunts, they simply are rarely challenged, either by their peers or teachers to think about why it might be offensive. Many of those who use it will claim they have no issue with gay people and haven't made the association in their heads with the problem with doing so. Not that it's right or okay, obviously, but that's what the research seems to say as the reason behind it.

As for the screenshot, they look like cunts to me. I don't think humour comes into it, they're just vile comments. 9/10 people enjoy rape? Girls who complained are probably closet lesbians? I mean for fuck's sake how poor and unfunny can you be.

No wonder rape reports are so low if this is the attitude pervaded by young people. I for one am ashamed to be a part of the same age bracket.

The saddest thing about that screengrab was that the 'closet lesbians' comment was made by a girl. Was probably a fail attempt at 'banter' like the rest of the knuckledraggers on there but it had more impact to me than the rest of the cretinous dribbling did

Apologies to all if this has been posted already, but this article from the Quietus I feel is a good rejoinder to anyone who's defending the reprehensbile actions of Uni Lad et al: http://thequietus.com/articles/07871-uni-lad-website-misogyny

Also: A major fucking nail in the coffin for me about "writer" Jim Goad was finding out about the "Rape" issue of Answer Me! mag - full of pro-rape sentiments from the likes of Peter Sotos (.....) and Boyd Rice (ditto) - of course, Goad sees himself as a politically-incorrect "truther"...oh yeah, and Goad did time for beating the crap out of his then-girlfriend as well....

I met Peter Sotos once. Greasy & furtive.

The blokes in that montage all look like they'd benefit from a nailgun to the ballbag.

 

[William of Walworth]

Unilad wrote an article specifically design to provoke offence. They can't complain when people are actually offended. Personally, I believe we all have the right to offend. But there is also a "consequences" clause to that right, namely that other people have an equal right to take offence & the offender has to accept that theiir comments might make them very unpopular

Spot on.

Crap, populist, Sun-headline influenced, stupidly opinionated bigotry-spouters in the bit of the office where I work, very much take advantage of their 'right' to 'freedom of speech'

It is the case that there are certain things that could be and were published in the past, such as the SCUM Manifesto, that would probably not be allowed today.

This is still published. I have a copy on my bookshelf.

Or "fucker", tbf.

Bhen chod!

Cracking bit of hardline feminist literature, is the SCUM Manifesto.

 

[Casually Red]

Isn't that even worse though? People should be horrified by the fact that women are that unsafe in our society (I know I am). Fuck me I wouldn't know where to start if I was confronted by someone who found that fact "funny."

I fucking would . Somewhere round his ribcage . Lets face it , its some fucking jeremy/sebastian got a handy college gig from anoother cosseted twat . He needs his face kicked about 2 or 3 times .

 

[Idris2002]

In Canada, The Ottawa Rape Crisis Centre in conjunction with the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women and the Ottawa Police Service launched a new campaign against sexual assault last May. Entitled “Don’t be that guy”, according to the OCEVAW the campaign, “Instead of placing responsibility for preventing sexual assault in the hands of victims, the posters appeal to potential offenders—speaking directly to them in their language”.
In Vancouver, In just six months after starting the campaign, Police have reported a fall of 10% in sexual assaults. While this is just the beginning, an approach like the one seen in Canada would do well in Ireland and the UK. Since the campaigns are primarily aimed at students of university age, Students’ Unions should be actively driving these changes, even if it is just on their own campus.

It pisses me off cos the articles on a website designed to make money and build brand loyalty - whereas kids being potty mouth on FB is not. When it crosses the line into 'what can i say to fit in with my online brands' image that's outrageous enough to appeal to our target audience?' it all gets a bit wierd and out of context

 

[articul8]

I blame Frankie Boyle

 

[butchersapron]

I blame david baddiel

 

[Meltingpot]

I blame david baddiel

Why is that?

 

[butchersapron]

Ironic middle class 'lads' at university.

 

[equationgirl]

I blame david baddiel

I don't remember him making jokes about rape though.

 

[butchersapron]

He didn't have to.

 

[articul8]

edit - too harsh

 

[Sweetpea]

In response to the suggestions as to how they could make amends/remorse or show a genuine commitment to tackling ignorance around their own behaviour - perhaps they should donate a years worth of revenue raised from the newly relaunched site (which will no doubt benefit from this publicity/notoriety) to a rape crisis centre or similar.

Four high-flying former public schoolboys were left red-faced after an indiscreet list of rules for their rugby tour to Dubai were sent around the world.

The group of high-flying friends, who call themselves G4, devised the rules ahead of their trip to the Dubai 7s tournament in March and included obscene sexual practices, cheating on their girlfriends and chanting about "how rich we are".
The tongue-in-cheek memo from the group, which boasts of their "capability to dominate social, political and economical spheres", also featured profiles of its four members.

public school boy 10 minutes (collars must be up) at specified 10 minutes part the hour.

throw away the key

 

[Meltingpot]

He didn't have to.

There's a difference between being ironic or laddish, as Baddiel and Skinner were, and laughing about rape or playing it down. I can't imagine that they'd have had Dani Behr on their show if they'd done that, she wouldn't have stood for that nonsense.

I'm a former public school boy, and have no idea what this means. Clearly my alma mater wasn't all that.

I just got forwarded the full text of that email from the torygraph article if anyone cares (which you probably shouldn't)

James Hill
James is a Terrorism and Political Violence Insurance Broker at Willis. His responsibilities focus on reviewing submissions, structuring, servicing and placing Terrorism insurance and reinsurance in the London, Singapore and overseas marketplaces. James attained First Class Honours at the University of Bristol where he was also an active member of the University of Bristol Rugby Club and University of Bristol Squash Club. James attended Tonbridge School where he played Rugby, Hockey, Cricket and Rackets to a very high standard.

He is a remarkably good looking individual who is permanently tanned and has an extremely muscular body. Due to his age and competency he will be President of the G4 and will be respected by his peers at all times – no one doubts his ability to stay strong throughout the tour.


George Boulton-Lee
George is a Ship Broker at Arrow, where he has worked three years. His charm with people have ensured his rapid progression in the Shipping Industry and he is tipped to be the next big thing in the world of Shipping. George attended the University of Leeds where he was a strong figure-head amongst the social scene – combining work and play in order to succeed . Before this he attended Epsom College where he was captain of the 1st XV Football team and played 1st XV Rugby.

He is a key component of the G4 and his consistency in performances have secured his place as Senior Vice President. He is known for his energetic and party side and he will certainly be one to follow when the sun goes down.

Rory Jones
Rory is currently and Account Executive at Lightfoot Marketing Asia. However his true career path lies in Law - Rory was an Intern at Justice where he formed part of a small team scrutinising the implications of EU justice and home affairs proposals. He has also interned at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and will be training to be a Lawyer in London next year. Rory attended the University of Nottingham where he achieved a Distinction in his Masters. Before this he attended City of London Freemen’s School where he captained the 1st XV Rugby team.

Rory’s ability to be a team player and push himself and others beyond their normal boundaries means his role as Captain will be central to a successful Dubai tour. He is a strong character and his resilience in battle time and time again mean that he can now be compared to a true Viking warrior.

Daniel England
Daniel is successful lawyer at Shearman & Sterling LLP. He attended University College London where he obtained First Class Honours. At University he was also a member 2nd XV Rugby Team and the Law Society.

That's basically the Urban FAO Page isn't it?

So apart from calling them chods etc. threatening to kill them in the face, looking down with liberal opprobrium and giving them more publicity what other suggestions are there for actually dealing with this?
