Ok, Dan, Take Seat. Rona, Take Notes For Master Steve! I’m a Goin’ to Tell You What Women REALLLLY Want!

I know Rona this goes beyond your single digit IQ and you have the attention span of a 6 year old,  but do try to pay attention, dear.

CJAD’s Dan Laxer, spent the last half hour of his show is asking what women really want. He isn’t buying  Master Steve’s words coming out of Ramblin’ Rona’s mouth, saying what we really want is insipid and costly tough on crime bills.

“Our government has done more than any other government in the history of this country to keep women safe,” says Public Works Minister Rona Ambrose, who is also in charge of the status of women in the Harper government.

“We have introduced new laws to make sure that we keep rapists and murderers off the street and to make sure that we protect children from sexual predators. That is what women want.”

Well, no Rona, that’s not what we want. Yes Dan, you do have an instinct. Click here for a few articles from James Morton, a Toronto lawyer to get  costs of these insipid bills  to provinces and tax payers. The Toronto Star has  the article of Ramblin’ Rona’s verbal diarrhea and some very stupid remarks to some intelligent ones.

Well, Dan, I’ll tell ya, what women really don’t want, or at the very least, not high on their list of needs and priorities are costly and idiotic American style crime bills, especially when they are trying to remove gun control in the same breath. By the by, one thing on our wish list, is we’d really feel much safer with continued use of the long gun registry as well as tougher gun control laws.  I guarantee, and I think I speak for the sisterhood when I say this, we would feel much much safer with long gun registry in tact and further gun control laws than more costly insipid laws to warehouse people in jails who shouldn’t be there in the first  place. Below is a quote from Marlene Jennings on this subject also in response to a dumb remark from Baird, Master Steve’s faithful pitbull:

“To talk about the safety of women . . . while still trying to eliminate the long-gun registry, to call out, ‘let freedom reign’ is absolutely outrageous, disrespectful,” Jennings said. “Martin Luther King Jr. is a hero for civil rights, for peace, a man who was murdered with a gun and he’s using that. It’s outrageous. These Conservatives go too far. They have to stop.”

And here’s Jack Layton:

“They’re quoting Martin Luther King and calling for a free vote?” Layton said to reporters. “I found myself asking, ‘Are they allowing a free vote in the Conservative party on the gun registry?’ And what a misuse of one of the most important statements ever made by somebody pursuing human rights.”

We want better choices for childcare. Sorry, 100$/month (approx 60$ when you subtract taxes) just doesn’t quite cut it. Especially with the cost of living as it is today. Just sending kids to public schools (here in Montreal anyway; not sure in ROC, please inform me in comments section) costs  10x more than it did for my parents to send my brother and myself to school, and I will guess that my mother’s (my father was educated in Beirut and Rotterdam at private schools; bad example)  mother paid even less to send her to her public school back then even still. We need a national day care registry so both parents can have the option to work in order to adequately support their families. To that end, we would like pay equity. We’re really not asking for much; just to earn the same money for the same work as that of our male counterparts.

Speaking of childcare and education, we would like to be able to give our children a good education without having to break the bank to send them to private school. We would like good secular public schools. The high school drop-out rate is especially on the rise in Quebec (again, don’t have that data in ROC: again, comments section) and we would like programs and means to keep our teen-agers from dropping out of high school.  We would like them to grow up to be happy and productive members of society. Again, times just ain’t the same; in my parents’ generation and earlier, folks, even without a high school  leaving certificate were able to get a job and have more choices of jobs. Today, you practically need a masters’ degree to be a panhandler.

We want the Canada Health Act enforced. It is your job (ok, other Harpercon useless idiot, Igluquack with no post-secondary diploma; via Master Stevie) to nail our premiers whenever they entertain such nasty ideas to begin the Americanization of our health care system, transforming it to wealth care for billionaires.  25$ per use of the health care system just taxes the sick and will make them sicker in the end. Talking about the life expectancy dropping? Well, it will be because of such nasty unaffordable deeds. Contrary to maybe Shona Holmes (that traitor cunthole) or Danny Millions, most of us are not asking for Hilton style hospital rooms. We just want to be able to see doctors without feeling like we overstayed our welcome the moment we walk through their door. And we want our doctors to take the hippocratic oath seriously and stop going to the media whining to make more money than Gawd. We want universal health care to stay.

Moving right along my check list here, we would like the mainstream media to be more balanced.  These days most of corporate media is ‘owned’ by Harpercons. They serve Harpercon Kool-aid to shove down our throats.  We want to see more balanced media. Even CJAD in Montreal, which is supposed to be a more progressive city than other North American urban centres, has only one other progressive/left of centre host, besides yourself , Dan, and Anne Lagace Dowson, unfortunately, only plays on Saturday afternoons.  Hell, the CBC is slowly going more and more Harpercon with their Harpercon President, Hubert Lacroix.  The latest addition of the delightful Kory Teneycke reflects this. We only ask that the media be more balanced.

We don’t want groups and organizations to be bullied to go into lockstep with Harpercons or get cut like the groups mentioned a few days, simply because they express themselves.   We would love to see   funding cut to such partisan groups like Canadian Constitution Foundation: yes, that would mean Ezzy IrreLevant would actually have to get a real job and Shona Holmes would have to pay for her own lawsuit; why should we, the tax payers be bankrolling that? We would really like to see cutting to religious institutions like Youth for Christ or Canada Christian College.

We would like to see the whole world’s women have reproductive rights.  That means not only contraception; that means access to safe abortions. In fact, as the rest of the G8 has pointed out, it’s a MUST.

We are displeased and frightened and pissed off of the eminent threat of our reproductive rights and our safe accessible abortions. We don’t want to see us go back to a dark time when desperate women put their own lives at risk going to back alley flop houses in less than savoury neighbourhoods and wire hangers and other of those old wives tales. And believe me, that is exactly what will happen. We heard ya, Nancy, but we can’t afford to shut the fuck up on this life and death issue for so many women. No, we can’t be silenced on this.

We want to see discrimination of all kinds to end.

So, Rona, that is what women want in a nutshell. And you could also tell Master Steve, the shocker of all time:  they are what  people — men and women — with any shred of humanity that is, wants. Those are our main  concerns these days, but sadly, most of us know you can’t wrap your little head around all that and it’s all foreign to Master Steve. So, Rona, I am left with just one thing we women want: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!   Now run along, I believe Uncle Dmitri is waiting with your master’s dry cleaning, like a good little girl, ok? Thanks Babe! And Master Steve, get the FUCK the HELL OFF!! Go find your buddies Georgie and Sawah. Take ur nasty fiends with you. There, that felt better.

By the By, most of all, we hate being told what we want or need by Harpercons and their cheerleaders and their media outlets!

Oh, and one petty little detail that bears mentioning: what is with these Harpercon women and their antequated hairdoos like beehives, 80′s French Formula hair and mullets, anyway? And why do they wear the same suit my 94 year old grandmother was cremated in?  To brag about how backwards they are or to try to  sell us on Stepford Wifery?

Speaking of Stepford wives and Harpercon women; the video below is dedicated to you, because, us real women, just don’t know how you get through life without a little pharmaceutical help, sung by one of Rock n Roll’s most notorious womanizers no less.
