Two surfers with the same position on Tex abortion law duke it out on the DMs!
Five months ago at a surfing contest at Sydney’s Curl Curl beach, the winner of the women’s div, a hitherto unknown Australian longboarder, Lucy Small, gave event organizers and sponsors hell from the stage for paying the women half as much as the men.
The effect was seismic, media jumped on it, event organisers promised to bring the cash up for the following year, GSI boards paid Small the difference and Surfing Australia vowed to make surfing “the most inclusive sport in Australia.”
If you know surfing, you’ll know the name Ian Cairns, a man with the physique of a comic-book hero (nicknamed Kanga) who ruled big waves, who was pivotal in the creation of a world tour, who would launch the ASP after tearing the game off the IPS’s Fred Hemmings and whose thin-eyed stare could give a man stomach cramps.
Two days ago, Small posted a screenshot from the Coen Bros film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs of James Franco being hanged with the tag, “Men: I don’t like that the government is making rules about my health and what I can do with my body because of COVID. Women: ”
It was Small’s shot at the loss of abortion rights in Texas, a new law there that effectively bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.
If you’re into memes you’ll know the frame grab is widely used “to emphasize an uncommon or ridiculous occurrence in normal society that has become a regular occurance in a community.”
Kanga, who for the record also opposes the new Texas abortion law, jumped into Small’s DMs to respond,
“This is pretty sexist and offensive to a group of people you have to live with.”
“It’s a reference to the Texas abortion law. It’s not sexist. Wishing you growth,” wrote Small.
Kanga replied,
“That photo and comment is offensive to me. Fuck you and your condescending attitude. You don’t know me. I’m a long time supporter of women’s surfing you fool. You need goodwill from people like me who care.”
I asked Small if she tagged Kanga or if he took it personally.
“No didn’t tag him, he just took it personally. Yeah, I don’t know what compels a 69 year old dude to be so offended by the insinuation that they’ve never been forced to have a baby by the government before that they will actively send a fuck you to a 28 year old woman.”
I asked Kanga why sad.
Did he have beef with Small?
“No beef. I didn’t like a picture of a white guy about to be hung: representing the travesty of the Texas abortion law. I said ’It offends me’ thinking that they’re of the left and forgiving, but she stepped up! ‘Get enlightened’ gibberish. And I’m thinking that ‘if you want equal prizemoney for women’ you shouldn’t offend people who are willing to help. Goodbye. The End.”
I told Small of Kanga’s response.
“Wow. Tell me about the last time the government forced you to give birth Ian.”
Like I said, Kanga is ain’t down with the Tex law.
“My body, my choice,” he says. “Goes for COVID just the same.”
Uh oh.
Kanga, of course, ain’t afraid of holding an unpopular opinion.
“Everyone in some sense is concerned about what people think of them,” he told me a while back. “But I wake up in the morning and I think, what am I going to today?” says Cairns. “How can I do all these things that are crazy and cool and how can it benefit my family, my friends and all of this? The moment you start to think about these things you move forward and all those criticisms, which are about what you did yesterday, don’t matter. If you’re thinking about the future, you’re already one step ahead of the critics. Do I want to be disliked? No! Do I want to be focussed on coming up with some awesome idea tomorrow? That’s what I want to do.”
Killing small woodland creatures, when I’m not capturing the hearts and minds of BG commenters.
On behalf of America, I would like to offer to return Ian back to Australia.
To be fair…women’s tennis is the ONLY women’s sport worth watching.
I’m not a big tennis fan but did attend the US Open a few years ago and was lucky enough to see Venus Williams play. There was a buzz the entire match and she is one hell of an athlete.
Be kind to Kanga , if it was not for him its arguable surfing would not be in the Olympics.
Supposedly this Rhino’s name was ‘Kanga’. The Lynch Mob was posing as scientists and later won a Nobel Peace Prize. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
What a bunch of goddamn, offended pussies. Who cares what either of them says? Kanga rides pink popouts and Small is a LBer….neither matter in the real world.
Didn’t he have a heart attack a while back?
Just split into two tours, men’s and women’s.
VONR!!! Shit fuck howdy! How ya been?
No doubt!!
Or being drafted to fight a war is a great way for the government to control men’s bodies.
Now he speaks for the indigenous…
It is interesting hearing republicans saying “my body, my choice”
Nobody fu#%ing Cairns. Just sayIan.
Brilliant!
Faarkcairn Ian again!
There should be age limits on using the social medias
Yeah no one under 40
What do the laws in Australia say about abortion?
Legal.
No conditions?
22 weeks
At 22 weeks, that child is considered “viable” and able to live outside the womb.
Yeah, it’s only recently they made it legal.
Nope, get those forceps in there, crush their heads and limbs…errr I mean their clumps of cells… suck em out, and throw em on the barbie. It’s all good down under mate
Damn, Texas killed the slut game!! Guess this cum dumpster won’t be going to the Waco Concrete pool. Shucks, all the local Cowboys were wanting to take a ride, and fill her up. Guess she better stick to her boring ass surfing, that WOULDN’T get any viewers if it wasn’t saddled up to the Men’s. (patting her on the ass) Get along little dogey
Oh, isn’t it great to witness a full-fledged misogynistic cyber(aka coward)-bully?
I feel privileged and would love to meet you in person but unfortunately we can’t fly to Seppo Land.
Oh, the shame of it all…
I hope you’re allowed to move freely soon.
No the government doesn’t make men give birth to a child. It only makes them pay for them. Often when it’s not even their biological child.
Reminds me of this verse,
Eighteen years, eighteen years
She got one of your kids, got you for eighteen years
I know somebody payin’ child support for one of his kids
His baby mama car and crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV any given Sunday
Win the Super Bowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was supposed to buy your shorty Tyco with your money
She went to the doctor, got lipo with your money
She walkin’ around lookin’ like Michael with your money
Shoulda got that insured, Geico for your money
If you ain’t no punk
Holla, “We want prenup! We want prenup!” (Yeah!)
It’s somethin’ that you need to have
‘Cause when she leave yo’ ass, she gon’ leave with half
Eighteen years, eighteen years
And on the 18th birthday, he found out it wasn’t his?
Absolute genius of a human
“She went to the doctor, got lipo with your money”
Literally happened to moi.
She look good tho?
Still packing a gunt, as best I can tell…
I like how Dave Chapelle puts it: “If she’s granted the option to terminate it, I should have the option to abandon it”
Yes, but what it’s not able to do is compel them to be decent or intelligent enough to think of a child in anything other than currency as is evident by your comment.
Planned Parenthood values an unborn child. Mostly for what price they can fetch for the aborted fetus’ tissue.
Prison numbers must be dropping. We gonna need more prisoners in 2037. Ban abortion!!!!
You can be charged with murder of an unborn child in instances where you kill a pregnant woman. You can be charged with murder of an unborn child when you shoot a pregnant woman causing the loss of the unborn child, even if the pregnant woman lives.
At some point the law must reconcile the actions of a defendant in that instance, and the unlawful action of terminating a pregnancy beyond the six weeks under the law of that State.
That’s how the US works. If you have a problem with the laws governing your presence in a State, then leave that State. Live somewhere else where the laws align with your values.
That’s how a Republic works. We’re not a Democracy where the laws must be the same in every State. Doesn’t work that way.
It’s a thorny one to be sure. Anything to do with life, death, and decisions around those are. Much like the death penalty which Texas loves and I’m guessing you’re for.
It’s nothing personal but I never quite get how people are anti vax, pro life, and pro death pen. I’m sorta partially against all in a way, but also am way too flawed to be a judge on anyone else’s decisions and get that its all a choice! I sure as fuck hate when governments force any or all of those choices. Just imagine being a broke, 5 weeks pregnant wall mart employee with a brother on death row in Texas.. nice “life” and choices you have at your disposal.
No one is forcing the pregnant woman to raise that child. She’s free to walk away, and give the child up for adoption. The mother can just as easily go back to shucking responsibility.
Can’t it be argued she acknowledging responsibility by doing something that I’m sure is last resort. You know, so the kid isn’t born into poverty, poor family life etc.
There are States that allow abortion up to 28 weeks. 28 fucking weeks. What’s responsible about that?
The child doesn’t have to grow up in poverty. Adoption.
Yo man.. I absolutely agree on the late ones, horrible decision to have to make. That said, I just can’t get around telling people what to do.
The world has flipped since collective psychosis19. Legit punks now walk the streets in masks and follow what the government says to the letter. So much so that it makes conservative people seem “counter” when a they have been cheering for wars and robbing us blind the last 20 years or more.
Politically I feel like the supreme leader who once sung in a puppet movie “Im so wonewee”
They’ve gone from ANTIFA, to PROFA IN 8 months, crazy.
Responsibility? Have you had your vaccines or wear your mask?
Guess lives don’t really matter when it doesn’t suit your septic pov
I’ve had Covid.
Masks don’t work.
Follow the science.
You’re shit.
It becomes ever more clear how much you all don’t believe in following science.
What about all of the serious, some times life threatening medical complications that can occur during birth. A man says ” I’m out” and walks away. Under the Texas law the woman has to under go significant biological changes to her body which impacts on her future health, not to mention the potential economic impact while she’s working, if she casually employed for example she may be unable to work in her last trimester. Gestational diabetes, hyperamasis, high blood pressure can also significantly alter how a woman has to live her life/ employment when preggas. Throw in all of the complications that can occur during birth and issues after the birth and it’s clearly a fucking world away from being the same thing.
All those reasons you listed provide more than ample motivation for women to be more responsible whennit comes to having sex. Should have thought of that myself. They’re not reasons that justify abortion.
What is so oppressive with impressing upon a woman the motivation to have sex responsibly if she doesn’t desire to have a child. If she doesn’t want a kid, then use contraception.
The law isn’t forcing a woman to take a pregnancy to term.
Does personal responsibility just not matter anymore to the Left?
They weren’t reasons to justify an abortion. Your assertion was that women can woman can walk away from a child as easily as men. For just some of the reasons I listed above thats not true, so your wrong.
On the contraception issue, you know they don’t work 100% right? My first daughter was conceived while my wife was on the pill.
The discussion between me and Waterproof Polo was not about how women can just as easily walk away from a child as a man. In the context of whether a woman is forced to have and raise the child, my statement, to Waterproof Polo, was she can walk away and give the child up for adoption. This “as easily” part is something you injected.
Having used contraception, how long did it take for your wife to figure out she was pregnant?
The fact that you are framing this as being solely the woman’s responsibility says a lot about you. Check out this thread for another perspective:
https://twitter.com/designm…
A woman or girl who has been raped has a responsibility to carry to term?
No. Obviously not. If a woman is raped, routine testing at a hospital includes pregnancy tests. She has six weeks to decide.
A republic with codified religious extremist vigilante enforcers. Very Talibanesque.
Nice.
Being a bit overly dramatic there.
The Civil enforcement is brilliant. Roe and Casey created precedent where pro abortion groups could sue to enjoin state and local officials from enforcing abortion laws. By empowering Texas citizens to sue abortion clinics in a civil action, the Texas Law robs pro abortion groups of enjoining the action. There is no issue of standing in State court. It’s actually quite brilliant as a way to block pro abortion groups.
Overly dramatic? Why? Because it’s Christian fundamentalists vs Islamic fundamentalists ?
Honestly Otto, it ain’t just this issue, although I do feel strongly about it. Especially when it comes to rape.
My concern is when they use this tack when it comes to guns or whatever issue extremists from either side decide to start forcing on us.
At what point do you believe a child in utero has a right to life?
You stone cold fuck.
You’re actually saying that you can shoot a pregnant woman in the belly and then argue over semantics?
Hey Otto, You’re a dick and you’ve got a dick so your point of view is not required here.
My point of view is so required here, it’s borderline compulsory.
I just remembered a dream I had last night. I was at a local league (footy) game, perhaps playing in it I’m not sure, and I noticed Kalani Robb cheering on the sideline. I went over and started to interview him about what he was doing in Australia so soon after his COVID case, how he had got through our two week quarantine etc. he seemed really nice to begin with but as it quickly became apparent he had somehow snuck into the country the dream changed into an action/thriller type thing where my friends and I had to run away from Kalani as he tried to contaminate us.
Seemed fitting to recount here.
Between ivermectin and bone broth, the cunt’s invincible now
Baalani Robb.
Just as long as you weren’t outside more than an hour.
No I had a three hour pass, I just had to capture some kids to put into the mandatory vaccination camps while I was at it. We will sterilise those little fuckers yet!
Forgot to take the pills… but hey, never trust them pesky doctors and their drugs until you really need them. Heads up, you already do.
Bwahaha
Long live the Truckees
Isn’t it time for your booster?
makes your teeth strong and dick hard Bexy, get onboard.
Ain’t that swellnet.
