Almost one hundred white, male, middle class, heterosexual racists met just over a week ago for a weekend of flagellation and self flagellation at Massey University.

The weekend was held in place of May Council 1981, which had to be postponed at the last minute because delegates felt they had to come to terms with their role of oppressors of women and racial minorities first. No date has been set for May Council to take place. It may have to be cancelled.

This is perfectly understandable because the problems delegates were facing cannot be solved overnight. In fact, it would seem they cannot be solved at all.

You see, there are some things that you just can't change. Like, if you're a man you are naturally an oppressor of women. It's all tied up with having a cock. That's why feminists sing about "Free castration on demand". Progressive men who understand about this cock-thing smile and clap.

At council dinner they did a mime about domestic violence and showed a mock castration on a man. His wife was really angry because he'd been getting on her wick for ages. Then she read this book called Womannuel about being liberated and everything and when her husband pulled out this candle she chopped it off. We all know that castration is the answer to domestic violence.
