Destroy The Joint Burlesque

By now you have all heard of the fall of Alan Jones...because of his abysmal comments regarding the PM* and because he thinks women are "destroying the joint."
Yet now he is crying "victim" because he didn't expect a backlash.

*regardless of your personal politics, a person's sex should never be the reason to doubt their capability. 

Newsflash Alan. Women and MEN do not tolerate sexism.

Unfortunately, sexism exists and it's here, based on fear and we won't get used to it. Ever.
Women don't want to be treated like men, we want to be treated like women with the same social, economic, political and human rights as any other sex that inhabits this universe.

...and some of us feminists like having our physical doors opened for us because as Meagan Patroni says; "it's just ettiquette." ...  as we believe; "I open all my own doors of opportunity."

Vive la difference between the sexes but ditch the inequality. We want sex without the 'ism'!
So we are taking action and invite you to join us and, in doing so, stand up and show that HUMAN BEINGS do not tolerate sexism! 

This event is proudly produced by Aloha Creative Productions (main producer) and Australian Burlesque Calendar and is a fundraiser for ZONTA – an international organisation for the advancement of women in society.

Aloha Creative is a company directed by journalist, (event, radio & audio) producer, social worker and performer Meagan Patroni.
She has been destroying the joint since her birth in 1982 – with her loud mouthed determination and her refusal to just be seen and not heard!  She is seen!  She is not just heard, she is listened to.

Australian Burlesque Calendar (audience of over 100,000) is run by Dusk Devi Gold – photographer, journalist, social media manager, burlesque promoter and Jedi.
She has been destroying the joint since the dawn of her time, laughing at those who say she can't or mustn't simply because she is female.  Dusk can and does because she is Dusk. 

Some of Australia's TOP burlesque performers are stampeding and stomping (elegantly and sensually with lots of attitude) the stage, along with a renowned Strongman (because strong men do not tolerate sexism) and a few surprises.
These performers were chosen not just because they are top performers but because they are Equalists.  They were chosen because of their strong feminist ethos on and off the stage....without sacrificing their womanhood. 

MCs' Kelfi & Fikel...well, they'll have you gasping in shock and with laughter!
JOIN US sisters and brothers, lovers and warriors!  Help us build a better world by helping us DESTROY THE JOINT
