FORCED child marriage, life-threatening domestic violence and dowry abuse are rife in Greater Dandenong and Casey, a welfare agency has warned.

Shakti Migrant and Refugee Women's Support Group Melbourne, which champions the human rights of women of African and Middle Eastern origin, only opened locally in April, but already is overrun with requests for assistance.

Spokeswoman Hiba Casablanca said the system was failing women of multicultural backgrounds.

"We opened in response to demand from people here and it's increasing every week," Ms Casablanca said.

"We need a specialist refuge catering for the needs of women of colour, run by people who can speak their language and who truly understand and connect with what we're saying, when we talk about cultural practices that violate our rights."

Ms Casablanca said some of the women's stories were heart-breaking.

"One woman, married for 25 years, her husband would physically abuse her by strangling and raping her on a weekly basis," she said.

"Financially abuse her by taking all her money and socially isolate her by preventing her having friends."

Ms Casablana said the woman was terrified, but embarrassed to speak out and felt she had nowhere to turn for help.

"These woman are being treated like slaves here in Dandenong and Casey," she said.

"They are very brave to speak out, but we need a safe place for them so they don't have to return to their abusers."

There is one domain in which woman have always reigned supreme, and that is the business of coupling, procreating and child rearing.

Therefore, if you influence women, you influence the fabric of society. Which is why feminism has been such an important weapon in the armament of the left.

But feminism has now gone well beyond redressing genuine inequality to advocating behaviours and attitudes that damage women, and threaten the health of society.

The evidence is there to be seen for anyone who cares to look, in the annals of psychological disorders that afflict so many young women today.

The zipless f ... eulogised by yesterday's feminists has become the norm for Gen Y in the form of a too-often joyless, mechanical and regret-filled hook-up culture.

Sex and human connection, let alone love and compassion, have effectively been decoupled in the hook-up culture, in which dating has given way to no-strings-attached physical encounters.

The term "hook-up" is exactly as dehumanising it sounds, and a fascinating study by the American Psychological Association last month shows how disconnected are the sexual behaviours and private internal desires of young men, and especially young women.

Yet the establishment's concern and outrage is marshalled against the rare piece of advice from elders that might offer an antidote to despair.

For instance, last week, worldwide mockery and condemnation fell upon Susan Patton, a 1977 graduate of America's Ivy League Princeton university, and a mother of two sons.

Her crime was to write a letter to the college newspaper exhorting women to marry young, and preferably a Princeton man, before they graduate.

"For most of you, the cornerstone of your future and happiness will be inextricably linked to the man you marry, and you will never again have this concentration of men who are worthy of you," she wrote.

She is right.

The fact is that no matter how much we change the social script by which we all live our lives, the mathematics of fertility don't change and IVF is no solution for ageing eggs if you want your own genetic offspring.

Rather than angrily denying the existence of this inconvenient fact, young women are better advised, during that extended period of singledom between early puberty and late marriage, to work out what they really want out of life. And older women owe it to them to speak the unfashionable truth.

To her credit, Patton has stood her ground, pointing out that work-life balance is not just about work.

The other piece of rare courageous advice rejected by the establishment comes from Tony Abbott.

Opposition leader Tony Abbott and his daughters.

Three years ago he said that his three daughters should consider virginity a "gift" that should not be given away lightly.

For this he was pilloried by the usual scolding fem set, led enthusiastically by Julia Gillard, who said the Opposition Leader's comments confirmed women's worst fears about him.

"Australian women want to make their own choices and they don't want to be lectured to by Mr Abbott," she said at the time.

Well, last week, in this newspaper, Abbott's daughters Frances, 21, and Bridget, 20, confirmed their father's comment had been "misconstrued," and that it was not about controlling women but respecting them.

Yet in this month's Madison Magazine  panel, in which Abbott took part with Sarah Murdoch, me, and feminist academic Kate Gleeson, Gleeson sneeringly asked what his advice would have been to his sons, if he had them.

"Don't use people," was his reply, the corollary to his earlier advice to his daughters, which was "Don't be used".

This irritated feminists, too, because it implied that men are the users, whereas the theory is that women equally are capable of using people for their own sexual ends.

Somehow this perverse aspiration has become morally desirable.

The Sexualisation of our Children

This is the sensibility that underpins the hook-up culture that is the defining sexual norm of our time.

In a new book, The End of Sex - How Hook-up Culture Is Leaving a Generation Unhappy, Sexually Unfulfilled and Confused About Intimacy, Donna Freitas has compiled eight years of research into a revealing exposition of Gen Y life.

"Amid the seemingly endless partying ... lies a thick layer of melancholy, insecurity and isolation that no one can seem to shake. College students have perfected an air of bravado about hook-up culture though a great many of them wish for a world of romance and dating."

Among her most striking findings from American college campuses is that 41 per cent of students "expressed sadness or even despair" about hooking up.

These students suspected it robbed them of healthy, fulfilling sex lives, positive dating experiences and loving relationships.

At its very worst, hooking up made them feel ''miserable'' and ''abused''.

Another revealing aspect of Freitas' book is the extent to which feminist writers claim hook-up culture is "empowering" for women, despite evidence of the opposite.

She quotes Hanna Rosin's book The End of Men which claimed "the perfunctory nature of sex in a hookup is essential to support a wider landscape of sexual empowerment among today's young women".

Ambivalent sex is useful, according to this theory, because it does not tie a young woman down.

Meantime, the article Sexual Hook-up Culture in The American Psychological Association's review, Monitor,  shows the disturbing psychological consequences, for both men and women.

 They include unwanted sex (mostly alongside alcohol and substance abuse), profound regret and feelings of shame and depression.

Saddest of all is that while most men and women did not expect a romantic relationship as the outcome of a hook-up, fully one third of men and almost half of women "ideally wanted" such an outcome.

Anyone who has much to do with young people will have observed a sadness beneath the polished, perfected surface of Gen Y's smiling girls.

As the mother of boys I have had only glimpses of the existential pain of young women but it is enough to make my female heart ache.

More "Harmony Days" Down Under : Australian Mourners told to leave Muslims funeral "not welcome"

Non-Muslims 'not welcome' at mosque funeral for former policeman

"All of his friends were not Muslim, so they had to leave - it was a big shock. It upset a lot of people."

MOURNERS were told they were "not welcome" by a cleric at a former policeman's funeral because they were non-Muslims.

The family of Erdinc Ozen, a former police officer and member of the navy reserves, are demanding an apology following the incident at Sydney's Auburn Gallipoli Mosque last month.

Mr Ozen, a Turkish-born Australian who served as a policeman until 2011, died from a brain aneurysm last month.

His brother Tunc said a number of senior police and friends from his fishing club at the Seven Hills-Toongabbie RSL left the service after the unexpected directive from acting president Dr Abdurrahman Asaroglu. Others attending included an 87-year-old World War II veteran and former NSW premier Nathan Rees.

"He told everyone it's a Muslim prayer service, all women and non-Muslims were not welcome and they had to leave the mosque area," Tunc Ozen said.

"All of his friends were not Muslim, so they had to leave - it was a big shock. It upset a lot of people."

Most hurtful for his family was that when it came time to move Erdinc's coffin, his closest friends were not allowed to take part in the proceedings.

"These complete strangers were grabbing my brother's coffin, not his mates, as a result of what this bloke had said," Mr Ozen said.

Mr Ozen has written to the mosque and Turkish consulate demanding an apology.

 "He didn't raise any of this with us. There were plenty of opportunities," he said.

"I've spent as much time thanking people for coming as I have apologising to them over what happened."

Islamic Friendship Association president Keysar Trad said: "What was done does not run consistently with our traditions. Our religion teaches us to be compassionate towards people grieving."

Latest from a Qantas cabin crew member is that you can pre order a Pork meal BEFORE your flight just like a vegetarian meal or Kosher meal and they MUST provide it.
So better for everyone to keep flying Qantas and make sure they all order a Pork meal.

QANTAS has brushed aside negative and racist comments over its decision to take pork off the menu for flights that stopover in Dubai on the way to and from Europe.

QANTAS Goes Halal - Who said Pigs can't fly?

The new menu's architect, Sydney chef Neil Perry, also said the menu change ''shows off the great multiculturalism that Australia has''.

The official Qantas fan page on Facebook yesterday received a number of complaints from people refusing to fly with the airline after it changed its in-flight menu in keeping with the Islamic religion.

Administrators of the site were also forced to remove at least five Facebook threads because of racial abuse. Each thread contained as many as 10 comments.

A Qantas spokesman refused to respond directly to the online criticism and said there has been only positive feedback.

''Our customers tell us that one of the things that sets Qantas apart from other airlines is our high quality in-flight meals,'' he said.

''Feedback from customers who have flown on Qantas to and from Dubai and experienced the in-flight meals has been excellent.

''Qantas flies to every continent around the world and our on board catering is tailored to meet the differing tastes and cultures to each city that we fly to.''

Chef and Rockpool group owner Neil Perry was behind the menu change and said it is a way of forging a ''deeper relationship''.

''It shows off the great multiculturalism that Australia has. It's easy for me to blend dishes from around the world that I have seen in the great restaurants of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane,'' he said.

''The local produce is awesome too. One of the things we really wanted to do was to make this a deeper relationship than just ground facilities and frequent flyer points and I think through food is the way to do it.''

Perry said the exclusion of pork products and alcohol, both considered against the teaching of Islam, did not have a big impact on his business as it was only one major flight a day from Sydney.

He has already created special dishes for Qantas customers flying in and out of Muslim-dominated destinations including Jakarta.

The changes were made as part of the airline's partnership with Middle Eastern Airline Emirates and affect six flights a day between Australia and Europe.

These flights now stopover at Dubai instead of Singapore. All other domestic and international flights are unchanged.

Perry's dishes are created by third-party caterers in Sydney and Dubai and include economy class meals of baby cos salad with tomato, cucumber and cheese, and chicken blanquette with spinach linguine and carrots.

In business class, customers can get seared sea bass with braised fennel and warm zucchini salad, or Arabian lamb with spiced almond rice, artichokes and capsicum.
