[...] Blogger on the Cast Iron Balcony is razor sharp as she slices through Australian politics and current affairs while also betraying a biting sense of humour. And because she’s also a feminist mother she views events through a particularly critical prism, like this one here about the hidden agendas involved in the sentencing of a teenager for groping a breastfeeding mother. Cast Iron Balcony can construct a terribly compelling argument in her writing, almost effortlessly as she writes her way through an anecdote, like this terrific one here about drinks in a pub and male entitlement.

Fished you out again, Alex.

Poor boy. Imagine, him minding his own business, when suddenly some chick flops out her norks. What else was the guy supposed to do?

In all seriousness, just found your blog and love it!

Anastasia, you’re the one who’s busted.
I’ve left “Anastasia’s” post up to illustrate… well, something or other.

I’ve been groped and squeezed but didn’t feel able to do anything about it – been told i should “just expect it” for being blonde and large busted.

Does anyone have any advice on what i should do?

Paying this one in full:
“Had the gropee not been the innocent mum but Z G-W instead, would the headline have been “Grope for Slapper” ?” …

but have to add that legal friends have told me that every Mag in Melb just loves ZG-W’s cleavage. So much so, that her appeal against de-registration is expected to be upheld.

Jahteh, WORD. If I’d made that connection then this might have been a more intelligent post:

If they’re going to shove feeding mothers into back rooms and most of them are down a long corridor out the back, then CCTV should be focused on those long corridors.
Best argument ever for breast feeding in public.

You are absolutely right– to conform to this nutty society’s idea of being out of sight when you do your rude breastfeeding thing, you’re actually endangering yourself; predators know there’s an isolated place with vulnerable people just waiting for them.

Sedge – here in the femoblogosphere we don’t actually distinguish between “slapper: violate personal boundaries at will”, and “Innocent – that is, sexually inactive – woman, worthy of not having personal boundaries violated”. Even if they are Z G-W. But of course, you knew that.

Richie, I think they should be getting a special school rather than community service.

I remember reading about the original assault (a “groper” getting a “slap” makes it sound like a Two Ronnies sketch) earlier in the year. I’m presently getting traffic from eBaum’s World (thanks, antifeminist trolls!), who host a video of two guys running around licking women in public and laughing; shouldn’t they be getting a community service order too? Or were they just traumatised by the fact women don’t date nice guys?
