My Christmas List

Memo to all those who are misunderstanding the appointment of Ms Susan Kiefel as our first female Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia: this does not mean more accurate rulings from the bench, okay?  This does not mean less slaps on the wrist for offenders, okay?  I have had to point out to misguided twerps lately that gender plays no part in the accuracy of findings from the bench, but knowledge of the law.  I very much doubt Her Honour has studied law, been admitted as a barrister, practised, attained the position of judge, and now this most prestigious appointment merely to have her gender called in regarding any cases in which her rulings are used.  Seriously, if I was Ms Kiefel I'd be pretty bloody offended by this notion.  And for those of assuming slaps on the wrist in sentencing will be a thing of the past, it's not the role of the High Court to go handing out these sentences - it rules on constitutional arguments, as well appeals from State Supreme Courts (both civil and criminal matters).  This is not to downplay the historical significance of Ms Kiefel's appointment, I just want SJWs to stop soaking the crotch of their underpants over meretricious ideals and misconceptions, okay?  That being said, well done to Ms Kiefel on her appointment.

I haven't done a Christmas list yet.  Here's my starters:

1. For people to stop misusing the word 'misogyny', and stop labelling any male who does not happen to agree with a female commentator, or happens to dislike somebody who just happens to be female, a 'misogynist'.  It's inappropriate, incorrect, somewhat insulting, and it really, really annoys the living snot out of me.  Ever since Julia Gillard's 'speech', it's been the constant sand in my vagina, which is a natural segue to item number 2/...

2. For writers to stop referring to the external parts of the female genitalia as 'vagina'.  Can't you people write 'vulva'?  It's a helluva lot easier because there are less letters!  Reporting that a red carpet A- to D-Lister had worn a dress that exposed their vagina is really unforgivably stupid, unless the dress was equipped with a speculum and mirror, okay?  'Easy Tips For Shaving Vagina'?  How about 'don't stick a fucking razor up your snatch in the first place, girls'?

3. For 2016 to just end (which is a natural occurrence at Christmas, anyway).  This has been the crappiest year in living memory.  Just about everyone appears to have died!  Yet the Kardashians live on.  They are the cockroach of the Grim Reaper's list - able to survive nuclear explosions when everything else around has succumbed to the radioactive fallout.

4. For my books to be best sellers - you lot can assist with this and perhaps do some of your own Chrissie shopping - check on the links in my bio and read the first chapters.

5. A new bathroom.  A new EVERYTHING, it seems!  Doing some renos, and they're taking a long, long time.  My house looks like those stock photographs you see in articles about Syria. 

Oh well.  Time to put up some decorations now.  I'm determined to make this as festive a Christmas as possible.  Last Christmas was so bloody miserable because my father died a couple of weeks beforehand.  This year it will be a good one.  Unless 2016 strikes again.
