Liberal Party Senator Cory Bernardi wants all of you "social justice warriors" out there to do some reading. And there's one particular author whose article just sat so right with him, he chose to tweet it out to his followers.

That author is Daryush Valizadeh or 'Roosh V', a notorious rape culture advocate who has previously admitted to committing what "could be considered rape" (his words) by "having sex" with two girls who repeatedly said no as he held them down.

This article is particularly relevant to many Twitter users. Know thyself...https://t.co/6po2O0C3o5 — Cory Bernardi (@corybernardi) June 1, 2016

The article, which Bernardi described as "particularly relevant to many Twitter users," is a teary, long-winded and anti-intellectual whinge about feminists, people of different races, and the entire concept of 'checking your privilege'.


"A tactic I have been seeing lately is accusing men of 'sexual harassment'," Roosh complains, "which is often when a man did nothing more than factually criticise a woman or flirt with her."

The cultural Marxist dystopia looms large.

It's interesting that "family man" Bernardi would direct his Twitter followers to such rot, not so much because anyone's surprised that he would read it, but because he is so paranoid about kids coming across anything that isn't PG-rated.

Here's a Senator who's in a flap about the gay-friendly content of the Safe Schools program being too "adult", directing his own followers to material produced by a rape apologist and leader of notoriously misogynistic pick up movement Return of Kings. Hypocritical much?

Twitter jumped on it immediately, but Bernardi was unfazed.

Dear outraged, the article I linked to is interesting in light of events of last week. It doesn't mean I endorse author's other views. — Cory Bernardi (@corybernardi) June 1, 2016

Yeah, sorry but that doesn't wash, Bernardi.

@corybernardi if you don't understand the tacit approval you've given by sharing his article then you're not fit for gov. (u never were fyi) — Michael Beveridge (@mickyb273) June 1, 2016

Will @TurnbullMalcolm condemn @corybernardi endorsing article written by a MRA who wants rape to be legalised? — Shane Bazzi (@shanebazzi) June 1, 2016
