By ck, on March 12th, 2011

Boys ‘n’ girls, when it comes to something this outrageous, even for a tea-bagger such as the esteemed Rethuglican senator from Kentucky, seeing and hearing is believing.

Here’s what the blogger over at Jezebel had to say to Poor Rand:

“Liberal/progressive women “refuse to support women in places like Afghanistan who are being stoned and hung… Thank goodness they think childbearing is beneath them.”

By Jymn, on March 7th, 2011

Sounds like expelled BT Dodo is at it again. When I first read today’s Blogging Tories in Their Own Words’ entry, I immediately thought of Dodo. There is only one Dodo. She is too precious to have a doppelganger. Or, is she? Upon closer inspection of this incredible post, I see it originates . . . → Read More: “Liberal/progressive women “refuse to support women in places like Afghanistan who are being stoned and hung… Thank goodness they think childbearing is beneath them.”

The Beginnings of a New Trend–Outmoded Thinking is Now New-Moded Thinking-Yikes!!

By ck, on February 25th, 2011

Kim Fraser from CJAD devoted the first half of her show, today, discussing Manitoba Judge Robert Dewar’s lenient sentence on a convicted rapist today. Kim, needless to say, as any woman would and should, was outraged enough to devote more than the usual half hour she usually devotes to a show.

Toronto Cop’s Advice To Women On Protecting Themselves? “Don’t Dress Like a Slut”!

By ck, on February 16th, 2011

This falls into the ‘we really shouldn’t be surprised’ files. Believing is reading:

Students and staff at Osgoode Hall Law School are demanding an apology and explanation from the Toronto Police Service after one of their officers suggested women can avoid sexual assault by not dressing like a “slut.”

Diane and Brian; Wankers of a Feather…Spot the Hypocrisies!

By ck, on February 4th, 2011

Diane Finley and of course, a darling of Sun Media, Brian Lilley both railing on women, children and the idea of national day care program. They both not only spin and spin, but they do it in such an offensive way with (as Canadian Cynic would say, paraphrased), all the wingnutty crunchy goodness . . . → Read More: Diane and Brian; Wankers of a Feather…Spot the Hypocrisies!

The tough life for a girl hockey player on a team of boys

By Jymn, on December 22nd, 2010

It’s all sounds so wonderful. In Canada, if you’re a girl, you can play on hockey teams even if they’re comprised of boys. Makes me proud we live in a country where such a thing happens. Then there’s the reality.

Twelve-year-old Kayla Watkins was forced to leave her team because a lawyer father . . . → Read More: The tough life for a girl hockey player on a team of boys

By ck, on December 15th, 2010

Rod Bruinooge’s Bill C-510 AKA Roxanne’s Law, yanno, the one that was based on a lie? The one about coerced abortions? Well, it just died a well deserved death: 178-97.

Eat your heart out, Mr. Lilley (who, by the by, thinks folks who are pro-choice should’ve supported Bill C-510) & the other fetus . . . → Read More: Bill C-510 Falls In the House of Commons–Take That, Brian Lilley & The Other Fetus Fetishists!

Stevie Spiteful Commemorates Polytechnique Massacre By Reminding Us He’s Part of the Problem

By ck, on December 6th, 2010

It seems that every year come December 6, we commemorate another anniversary of the Polytechnique massacre and every year, there is always some group, person, journo or politician to find a way to desecrate the memory to suit their own ends. Last year, I had posted about those accusing women’s groups and the suvivors and . . . → Read More: Stevie Spiteful Commemorates Polytechnique Massacre By Reminding Us He’s Part of the Problem

Ok, Brian Lilley, Which She-Wingnuts of the Wankersphere Did You Poll? And Why This Poll? Get a Life!!

By ck, on November 3rd, 2010

Oh, the wankers at Sun Media do everything they can to sink to new lows. Tabloid garbage which seems to pass for journalism. The latest screed from Sun’s Wanker in residence? Well, don’t the title just say it all?

Holy shit. One third of American female soldiers raped.

By Jymn, on October 30th, 2010

This is absolute insanity. At least one out of every three American woman soldiers is raped by fellow soldiers.

A congresswoman said Thursday that her “jaw dropped” when military doctors told her that four in 10 women at a veterans hospital reported being sexually assaulted while in the military.

A government report indicates . . . → Read More: Holy shit. One third of American female soldiers raped.

I thought Bill C-510 AKA Roxanne’s Law was dead and had it’s well deserved burial. Guess I was wrong. I’m not rehashing the background. Go here if you want it.

I’m smelling the same tactic that is happening in various states across the border, yanno, the one where the keep chipping away at . . . → Read More: Oh, Motherhood Stevie Spiteful, You Must Be So Proud!

We Juxtapose With Hunter!

By ck, on October 25th, 2010

Blogging SupposiTory Hunter is mad, just mad I tell you, and she ain’t takin’ it no more! It seems she had a little spat with her MP. According to the Blogging SupposiTories’ resident “feminist”, it seems that her male MP thought “she was too harsh” in saying that “Islam suppresses women”.

bra burners? Really?

By Kim, on October 15th, 2010

I received an interesting article in my inbox this morning, thanks ck! It was an op-ed in the Toronto Sun yesterday entitled “Why do we fund the bra burners?” by one Eric DuHaime.

Matte misses the mark

By Jymn, on October 10th, 2010

Antonia Zerbisias has a thought-provoking article today in the Star regarding the easing of prostitution laws in Canada. She points out the disparity of views among feminists. Not surprisingly, many feminists are appalled at the decision. And it’s not just because historically some feminists are actually more puritans than feminists.

Oh Man! Christine O’Donnell just seems to be the gift that keeps on giving to her Democrat rival for the senate, don’t she?

Gun Registry Passed; Stevie Spiteful Sets Trap Out of Spite; Opposition Don’t Step In It! Time to Move On

By ck, on September 23rd, 2010

Everywhere I’m reading from blogs, pundits; mainly the Harpercon cheerleaders; all saying that Stevie will get his majority due to this loss; he will campaign pretty much solely on scrapping the registry. They actually think he will be successful! That’s fine. I wouldn’t expect anything less. Pathetic, really.

Who Knew That Concerns About Conjugal Violence Could Be Reduced To a Simple Wedge Issue?

By ck, on September 14th, 2010

That’s exactly what Lorne Gunter did in his column this morning.

When Heather Mallick writes in the Toronto Star that women worry about the end of the registry because it protects them against having “their own personal bodies torn apart by bullets,” that’s somehow not a wedge? When she adds “there are women . . . → Read More: Who Knew That Concerns About Conjugal Violence Could Be Reduced To a Simple Wedge Issue?
