These Australian feminists got threatened with rape, death for making a certain point with cupcakes

The fight for equality can be bittersweet.

Madeline Price, a student at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, spent part of her weekend planning a bake sale. The main confection would be cupcakes, followed by brownies. But before any frosting was frosted and sprinkles sprinkled, Price’s sugared goods became the subject of uproar online.

The reason was her pricing scheme. As part of the university’s “Feminist Week”, Price decided to charge consumers different prices depending on the groups with which they identified.

White men would pay full price — $1. A woman, by comparison, would pay 83 cents.

These ratios were based on data from the Australian government’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency, and calibrated around gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and whether the individual identified as having a disability.

Wow! Can I just say what you are all thinking? What terrible women! [/sarcasm]

With swift ferocity, attendees and event planners were threatened by anonymous commentators who felt that the bake sale discriminated against men and manufactured inequality.

Online SJWs?

“I’d punch a chick if she winked at me at the bake sale”

“Females are f—king scum, they should be put down as babies”

“Kill all women,” someone wrote on the group’s Facebook page.

“I want to rape these feminist [expletive] with their f—king baked goods.”

A viral post by a person identified as Ashley Millsteed, a male Queensland student, condemned the sale.

“UQU [the student union], which is meant to represent all students, is engaging in conduct that’s blatantly discriminatory against men to try and make some asinine political point,” Millsteed wrote, according to the Brisbane Times.

Hypersensitivity, displays of machoism and/or violence to show a point...

Wasn't this sort of thing done elsewhere a couple years ago?

And is that girl in the middle really a college student? She looks to be about thirteen.

I know it's overdone to suggest that people are worse than Hitler, but these women are worse than Hitler.

They've probably poisoned those cupcakes.

This is much worse than I thought. The one on the right doesn't even have cupcakes but instead brownies. Not only is that racist, but it also proves that feminists don't care about the truth.

Yes, conservatives did it at Berkeley as a protest against Affirmative Action legislation.

I thought the whole point of feminism was to get women out of the kitchen. Next thing you know, they'll be walking around barefoot and wanting to have babies. Someone needs to teach them how to be True Feminists.

So they're culturally appropriating a conservative tactic.

I'm micro-aggrieved.

And hungry for a cupcake.

Holy shit, dude, that's way out of line. Being hungry for cupcakes is a Canadian thing and the last thing this world needs is one more elitist white American stealing our thing.

Apparently Americans' weakness in geography has infected the Great White North.

Those FemiNazi Shelias are in Oz....

Easily distinguished by the fact they are not wearing winter gear.

Being hungry for a cupcake may be a Canadian thing. Eating eleven out of a dozen is a USA thing.

Ya, but that's just because you've been underfunding math education for the past couple of generations.

 

[ZiprHead]

My math education was fine. My math skills, however, are totally lacking.
