Pakistani murder is a male shame killing ... Not an honour killing.

I woke up this morning to the news that a gorgeous women,  an Instagram celebrity in Pakistan had been murdered in cold blood by her brother. 

The headlines screaming out about honour killings and so forth. 

So how about this, collective Bad-Ass women of the world, how about we collectively refuse to call these things Honour killings. 



It demeans and degrades the word Honour to do so, it implies that there is some kind of twisted honour in being a sociopath whose worth is determined by the behaviour of the property of your family. Girls are property in certain parts of the world let's not forget. 

How about we all call it what it is , a murder that's all about male shame. A great big shame for the family for harbouring and promoting murder. Shame for the family because they think women and females belong to them.  

Shame for the brother who right now looks sub-human to me, in my angry raging feminist tirade. 

Can we stop implying there is something good about murder by softening it with the word honour. 

My heart is broken for the mother of that gorgeous woman, who not only lost her courageous daughter, but must be mourning certainly for the man she raised to be a killer. 

It was a cold blooded murder, based on patriarchal bullshit, and male shame. Shame on the men in that family and shame on their community, which by all accounts appears to condones murder by harbouring the fugitive brother. 

It's high time women didn't pay the price for male shame.

Banting Confessions ...

By
OK. So in the food department, I've been eating High Fat Low Carb for a little over a two years now. And it's working. My weight has plummetted. My general health and energy levels are sky rocketing. I have gone down in size. You can see my waist again ! Key things I need to confess , lest people misunderstand how I eat. First up, I eat LOW Carb. Not NO Carb. I don't eat starch, or any HIGH carb high starch food food. But it's not possible to eat NO carb unless you completely avoid all veggies of all kinds and live on meat and fat. LCHF stands for LOW carb HIGH fat. In fact, I eat a wide wide range of veggies, that are all high in fibre and nutrients, and seriously seriously low in carbs . Like below 5g per 100g type of low. There are a surprisingly large number of vegetables on this list. And I eat as much of them as like, as often as I like. This is known as the GREEN list. Meats and most animal fats are also on the GREEN list, but, and heres the other ...

Thoughts on my Official Aussie-fication

By
Aussie-fication. That process whereby one becomes a naturalised citizen of the Aussie Aussie Aussie , Oi Oi Oi Universe. Not to be confused with a simple citizenship ceremony. Those are so 1990 darl. I am an Aussie (with some sad but ingrained Saffer DNA , it's a tough life mate). And I almost have the certificate to prove it. Aussie-fication begins in earnest the first time you use the word mate. Sincerely and without satire, sarcasm or feeling self-conscious.
