Release the Bts
Painting and Story by Lehan Winifred Ramsay
A wise wise man once said to me: It’s got nothing to do with what they have. Stop worrying about what they have. You are not them.
So today I would like to share with you the word “Strumpet”.
Strumpet is one of those words that we don’t hear enough of. It’s for us girls and women, and only if we’ve done something to deserve it.
A Strumpet is a moll, or a slut, or something like that. Which means; our sexual behaviour is currently being used to service something. Generally this something is the speaker of the word Strumpet, as well as something else. Often this something else is a sexual liaison which might even have involved the speaker themselves. But sometimes it is spoken by a third party. The third party feels that they are not Strumpets/a Strumpet, and generally also feels that nobody is about to call them a Strumpet, so it is safe to use.
Generally being a Strumpet, even if you are a girl, elevates you to quite a high position in the Badness of Being a Woman. You have failed on the very highest level. And that is why I feel that it is time to Release the Bts.
Roll Out The Strumpets and stop keeping them for ourselves. Every boy and man, at some time in their lives, deserves to be truly great in what they value most. Greatness at what it is that they do best.

Time magazine recently asked, “Are you Mom Enough,” and displayed an image of a mother breastfeeding her three-year-old son on the cover. I came, I saw, I gawked, and I moved on. Did it make me do a double take? Well, sure, but so did the adjacent cover shot of the Kardashians without make-up. It just isn’t something you see every day…so you sit up and take notice. Critics call it abusive–a crime against the future well-being of her child.

Because of the nature of the last election result we’ve been “heading into an election” for the past two years. It’s like being in the US cycle. Nobody has wanted to lose an advantage at any step of the way. It’s really unfortunate, because we didn’t used to have to be this involved in the political Bad Romance. And unfortunately, in this peculiar condition a lot of our institutions (mainstream media being one, a 24 hour news cycle being another, other forms of media a third) have been adjusting to new conditions, and adjusting to this unusual situation as if it were normal. We may NEVER get them to stop wetting the bed now.
I still think that what happened at the last election was really lucky. We had a chance to stop focusing on two parties and see a third place emerge. Unfortunately that third place appears to have been content with whittling down the numbers, like an Agatha Christie TV Special. And then there were…….

They have been having this Election for TWO YEARS. And it’s starting to wear them down. Recriminations. Castigations. In-vestigations. Many of them almost wearing out their carpal joints practicing the ALPHA-DOG handshakes. To no avail. What we are seeing here is strain. A very unique kind of strain.

I also think that the bts may be the missing letters from VAGINA, that FAIRFAX so helpfully rolls out today. And the ones from MOTHERFUCKER, also prominently displayed in FAIRFAX today. Either we say them or we don’t, I say. And while I’m at it, I’m awondering why FAIRFAX can’t say BIG TITS but are so happy to SHOW them. ABIGAIL, for GOD’S SAKE? I wonder why RUPERT is so CIRCUMSPECT when he made his BUCKS from BIG TITS. I wonder why we say GENDER when we mean PROBLEM. I wonder why we say MISOGYNIST when we mean ARSEHOLE. I wonder why we say PENNY WONG when we mean LESBIAN. I wonder why we say AIDE when we mean STRUMPET. I wonder why LIBERAL SUPPORTERS say FATHER when they means THEMSELVES and LABOR SUPPORTERS say GENDER when they mean themselves.
