smash miss contest smash miss contest skip to content home about we smashed it here s what happened older posts november 1 2011 1 03 pm miss world 2011 in london miss world is returning to london on sunday 6th november the last time this event took place here was in 1970 and was disrupted by various feminist groups announcing and inspiring the women movement for equal rights now the contest is back reframed as an empowering event attempting to coopt and undermine the progress we have won as well as the continuing struggle to reach equality in the uk and all over the world if it s back we are back come and join smash miss contest for a fun happening at the earl s court arena send us an email for more details at smashmisscontest gmail com leave a comment filed under uncategorized october 31 2011 9 30 pm the miss world riots of 1970 miss world originally started off as a one off contest called the festival bikini vontest but the british press gave it the name miss world eric morley first came up with the idea in 1951 and in the 60 s morley famously summed up what miss world was looking for girls between 17 and 25 ideally five foot seven eight or nine stone waist 22 24 hips 35 36 no more no less a lovely face good teeth plenty of hair and perfectly shaped legs front and back carefully checked for defects such as slightly knocked knees perhaps this is the point women began to actually worry about their weight and what sparked the diet and health industry to gain in popularity with morley s requirements public is it any wonder women started to question the reason for this procession of female bodies to be leered at on tv and classed as family viewing more info about the anti miss world riots in http www zani co uk articles aspx id 68 leave a comment filed

related videos leave a comment filed under uncategorized april 1 2010 2 31 pm the effects of the smash here at smash towers we have been eagerly following the 2010 edition of the backlash fest that is the miss university london beauty pageant interestingly enough this year there were no local heats for once those louts at 1 2 1 entertainment have made a good decision after clocking the sheer volume of disgust and disapproval directed at every stage of the contest last year i guess they thought such an extended contest was a bad idea and they have reduced opportunities for protest action disruption by limiting the extravaganza to one nite only at tackfest movida beloved of posh white kids all through sw london anyway us smashies are taking this as a glorious triumph for us and for all the awesome people who stood up and said actually no thanks to this outdated pervy show that does the ladies no favours so hooray also we missed this piece last year turns out one of our ideas for the run up to the contest actually worked pretty well http www thisislondon co uk standard article 23648089 students urged to smash beauty contest with flood of fake entries do ha ha you gotta love the evening standard cheers for that christian we hadn t realised it was so effective xxxx leave a comment filed under uncategorized november 24 2009 11 17 am hollaback hollaback is a collective which highlights and aims to combat the kind of daily street harassment that women have to deal with this harassment hey baby nice tits etc etc is the sort of casual sexism which seems so ingrained in our culture due in no small part to the constant sexualisation of women and the standardising of the idea that women s bodies are public property this is the sort of thing that is fed into by beauty contests lads mags etc and has a daily and wearing effect on women s psyches constantly reminding us that our bodies can be judged commented on at all times sometimes people don t seem to understand hot tiring and cumulatively abusive this sort of interaction is sometimes men act like it s a compliment and that we should be grateful for the attention now we can direct doubters to the hollaback uk site which has recently gone live which provides a delightful compendium of the kind of war stories we collect from daring to walk down the street check it out http hollaback uk blogspot com leave a

september 2 2009 5 31 pm smc at the climate camp 2009 we were at the amazing climate camp for climate action this week http climatecamp org uk for those who still don t know what this is the climate camp is a place for anyone who wants to take action on climate change for anyone who s fed up with empty government rhetoric and corporate spin for anyone who s worried that the small steps they re taking aren t enough to match the scale of the problem and for anyone who s worried about our future and wants to do something about it we met amazing people participated in very interesting workshops learned a lot about climate change and economics engaged in direct action ate lovely vegan food danced in a massive kelly got drunk and sang around the fire we also collaborated with the feminist fightback http www feministfightback org uk on a workshop called confronting the backlash on feminism around 70 people attended and we consider was a total success 2 comments filed under uncategorized june 8 2009 3 05 pm no pretence an anarcha feminist statment here is the great action of no pretence at the anarchist movement conference 2009 fucking well done this is what was said we make no pretence this is a conference by and for anarchists and by anarchists we mean those opposed to the state all forms of nationalism capitalism sexual race gender oppression and all forms of exploitation and domination anarchist movement conference 09 call out this is our response we have taken this space and projected this short film to show how we see sexism in the movement and sexism in capitalist society we have covered our faces in the same way we might do against the state and its agents inspired by the tradition of our militant sisters who took back male dominated stages and political spaces we expect hostility intimidation and greater surveillance after our action covering up makes it easier to communicate and we know that our message is much bigger than the messenger herself the following text is our response to the four themes of the conference movement or why we aren t one no matter how much we aspire to be self critical there is a clear lack of theorising and concrete action around sexism homophobia and racism in the anarchist movement we do not feel that the content and structure of the conference deal with gender and we re tired of asking for space we re taking it ourselves you want to talk about history let s stop pretending that feminism is a short blip in the history of political struggles the feminism you know may be the one that has been dominated by white middle class liberal politics not the struggles and pockets of revolutionary resistance missing from our political pamphlets and independent media the feminism of comandanta yolanda of bell hooks of anzaldua of mbuya nehanda of angela davis of rote zora of mujeres libres class or is anybody out there we are all oppressed by the class system but there is nobody out there who isn t also oppressed by white supremacy imperialism heterosexism patriarchy ableism ageism pretending these systems don t exist or can be subsumed into capitalist oppression doesn t deal with the problem it just silences those people most oppressed by them and allows for the continuing domination of these systems over our lives we are tired of being told that anarchists don t need to be feminists because anarchism has feminism covered this is just a convenient way of forgetting the reality of gender oppression and so ignoring the specifics of the struggle against it resistance or are we futile if the anarchist movement doesn t recognize the power structures it reproduces its resistance will be futile for as well as fighting sexism out there we must fight sexism in here and stop pretending that oppressive systems disappear at the door of the squat or the social centre only a movement that understands and fights its own contradictions can provide fertile ground for real and effective resistance ask yourselves this do you believe sexism exists within the movement when a woman comrade says she s experienced sexual abuse or assault from a male comrade what do you think that it s an individual or an isolated case or that it can happen and disproportionately to women because there is a system which allows it to develop and gives it life can we honestly say that our own autonomous spaces do not play a part in upholding this system ask yourselves this why do fewer women speak in meetings because they think less what is the gender of the factory worker why do more women do the washing up and run creches at meetings events what is the gender of the carer at home now tell us if you believe sexism exists tell us why men rape why more women are battered than men why more women are used by the state to do free and unwaged work tell us are you a feminist we believe that in the anarchist movement the strongest evidence of sexism lies in the choice we re told to make between unity and what they call separatism between fighting the state and fighting sexism fuck that we refuse to be seen as stereotypes of feminists you can consume like fucking merchandise in the capitalist workplace ideas into reality and what s in between there will be no future for the anarchist movement if it doesn t also identify as an anarcha feminist movement anarcha feminist organisational structures must exist within the movement to make anarcha feminism an integral part of it and you don t need to identify as a woman to be an anarcha feminist every anarchist should be able to participate in the struggle against sexism the state s incursion into our private lives and the relationship between sexuality and productivity from which it profits affects people of all genders the gender binary system violently allocates us roles on the basis of our anatomy a refusal to accept even these basic precepts will be a great hindrance to the movement you ask can we find common cause despite our differences we will only find common cause if we recognize that our differences are structured by numerous oppressive systems and together fight to end each of these systems wherever we find them our feminisms must be plural they must be anti capitalist anti racist anti homophobic our inspiration must come from the actions of feminists who have helped self identified women reach revolutionary consciousness our feminisms must be revolutionary final word you can pretend we didn t come here pretend nothing was said you can purposefully misunderstand us or you can ask yourselves why we came what we meant and whether we ll come back again http nopretence wordpress com 1 comment filed under uncategorized may 18 2009 4 26 pm some interesting articles http www guardian co uk
