Australia’s blokiest brand Triple M says Donald Trump is ‘not a real man’
AUSTRALIA’S blokiest broadcaster has taken some time out from cranking out rock music to tear down US President Donald Trump.
AUSTRALIA’S blokiest broadcaster Triple M has made to unusual move to come out swinging against US President Donald Trump.
The national FM radio station published a scathing editorial on its website on Monday morning, saying the new leader of the free world “is not a man”.
“He isn’t deserving of such a term and neither should the men of Australia associate him with ‘being a man’,” the column, labelled “opinion”, read.
“In our quintessentially Aussie way, he is not a good bloke.”
The station described Mr Trump as “a man that sees women, first and foremost, as sexual objects who sole purpose is to gratify him”, and one who “lies, cheat and jokes about grabbing women’s genitals with their permission”.
The strongly-worded piece encouraged the men of Australia not to allow Mr Trump to “become the male template”.
“As fathers, brothers, uncles, grandads, we need to stand up for what is read,” it read.
“The women of Australia united yesterday in defiance of a male tyrant who threatens to undermine the work of women and suffragettes over centuries.
“It is our duty, as men of this country, to stand alongside them and diminish the opinions of bigots and misogynists. Australia’s daughters, wives, girlfriends, mums, sisters deserve it.”
The station rounded off its editorial reinforcing that Mr Trump “is not our definition of a man”, and thanked those who marched against the “ignoramus” and “everything he stands for”.
“The women of Australia, the mothers of our kids, the defenders of women’s rights, the women who strive for equality, you made us proud,” it read.
The individual author of the piece was not credited, but it was signed off “Triple M”.
Thousands of women across Australia marched on Saturday joining the global Women’s March movement in response to President Trump’s inauguration.
Organisers of the Sydney even estimated up to 10,000 attended. The Melbourne march attracted about 7000 and the Canberra event about 1000, according to organisers.
Millions around the world took to the streets to protest against the new president.
In the US, an estimated three million joined the marches making the event the nation’s biggest turnout of any protest in history.
