Students of Betoota Grove Girl’s College have been checked for minor cuts and lacerations after completely obliterating the glass ceiling earlier today.
On a busy bus ride to the south-west Queensland Netball Championship heats, a group of no fewer than twenty BGGC students launched into a gender-swap performance of the infamous “I wish that all the ladies…” chant.
The “I wish that all the ladies,” is a call and response chant wherein young men talk about how they ‘wish that all the ladies’ were a variety of inanimate objects and the punny way in which they would violate the entirety of the now non sentient female population.
The most recent incident was in St Kevin’s College in Melbourne came under fire after a group of students publicly recited the chant on tram, causing the school to go public about grooming accusations so the media would focus on something else.
But those days of the one-sided misogynistic chant are over, as Betoota Grove Girl’s College has gone viral with their gender equalising version that gives men a taste of objectification; “I wish that all the fellas…”
At the time of writing, clips of the twenty strong BGGC students have been viewed hundreds thousands of time online and via news outlets, here is a taste of the empowering chant:
“I wish that all the fellas,
Had a build they were completing.
And if I was a vandal,
I’d smash their glass ceiling!
“I wish that all the fellas,
Weren’t such creeps online.
That’s it.”
