Just for fun, google "Ugley Women's Institute".

The story is in the first link you'll get (Wikipedia) but Google's hint says it all anyway...

Ahh well, no luck I see, - I was hoping someone might get inspired.

Not about the women themselves, but to ridicule others attitudes...

Ugley is just up the road from us a few miles. There are always jokes about the Ugley Women gettig together with the men of Nasty, whcih is a few miles further off.

I can't see there was anything too offensive about what that Aussie mayor said there - All he seesm to have said is that, since there were such a lot of extra (and probably not oparticulary good-looking) men in the town, it was likely that there wasn't be as much prejudice against ordinary looking women as there might be in some places.
