The 'LADBible'

[MsGoldblum]

As I was browsing on Facebook today, I came across a page called LADBible which some of my friends had 'liked'. When I clicked on it and had a look, there was a picture of a woman with a distinctive tattoo on her back and the caption below read, 'would this tattoo stop you from smashing this wench?'

Obviously I was quite angered by this post and (probably wrongly) posted a status update of my own, with the aim of highlighting the horrible attitudes and opinions of the page.

Unfortunately, I was called 'sad and pathetic' for thinking that women shouldn't be referred to as 'wenches' to be 'smashed'.

I guess this post doesn't really have a point - and I know some will say that Facebook itself is the work of the devil - but I wanted to post here to get it off my chest.

Wow, most uses of the word 'post' in one place ever?

[HalloweenNameChange]

ewwwwww You are clearly sad and pathetic for being disgusted by the use of "smash" against a woman... That's horrible. Although I am quite partial to the word wench myself, in a nicer context though.

Smashing is disgusting though

De-friend those friends.

They're sexist shits.

Yes, it's a horrible page. I don't think that this type of language was normal in relation to young women even 10 years ago. Where has it come from? I think The Inbetweeners might have something to answer for here.

I just visited its website. I need to bleach my eyes.

I think Keith Lemon has something to answer for too.

Sorry to leave you all unanswered, I thought this thread had gone kapuffft.

I've de-friended those who seem to find misogyny so amusing (one person said that actually it wasn't sexist to call women wenches, he just liked to feel like a pirate... ). It makes me so sad and cross that lots of people see nothing wrong with this kind of language and behaviour.
