Perhaps I should have mentioned this was going to be a rant alert. No, actually, I’m about to show my true “I’m a bitch and I know it” colours. Women with that sense of self entitlement and the puratanical princess attitude always bring that out of me. Sara Landriault has just become one them. So, Sara, here’s to you, Babe!
You call yourself a fireplug? Plug this, Babe!
DeBeauxOs over at Dammit Janet brings us two connie anti-feminist hacks who as it seems, would be about ready for a catfight. Sara, you’re pretty pathetic when you’re losing to another Quebec bashing, anti-woman, pro-fetus hack. Actually, I’m still shocked, Naomi Lakritz actually made sense regarding that whole Robert Munsch revelation.
Choice for Childcare was a blog I never used to pay attention to unless there was a headline that attracted me. For the most part, she just wasn’t that wingnutty enough…that is, until now.
Sara lives in a glass house it would seem. Everybody’s perfect in there. No disfunction here. Of course not, what would the neighbours think? By the by, Sara, after seeing your picture, your hubby is probably shopping around, and no, I don’t mean furniture or clothes; shopping for younger, fresher models, if you catch my drift.
She trashes Robert Munsch for perhaps revealing too much information about himself, leading us to believe she would lead the book burning charge after an episode of The Young and the Restless or whatever her favourite soap might be. Furthermore, she decides to go all Joan Crawford (Mommy Dearest) saying that she must tell her children the their favourite writer has demons. Oooohhh!! I know! Perhaps, we’ll discourage them from ever reading!
Now, Canadian Cynic basically points out that in order to continue her Harpercon purism, she cannnot accept any socialist programs for her problem. Go read his piece. Here is Sara whining about having made some bad choices in life. I mean, it’s not like she’s disabled or sick. As she points out, her kids are in school all day. Now, why don’t you simply go back to school? Or will that kick you out of the Blogging Tory Reindeer games? After all, it does seem that higher learning past a certain age is a no no in Reformatory land. One thing, deary, if you do go back to school; no student loans, bursaries, grants or any of that soshalist stuff…
As for pensions, don’t you connies advocate for scrapping such social programs? So, no, no pension for you if you don’t work and contribute to it.
I have sympathy for those parents who can’t find proper affordable care for their pre-schoolers and are stuck at home trying to do the best with a tight budget. I have sympathy for those who are too sick and disabled to work; they do need our help. I also feel for those who lose their jobs. I have no sympathy for those who are able bodied and whose kids are in school full time.
For those families who can live off one income where the working spouse doesn’t seem to mind pulling the financial weight (not too many of those these days), more power to them.
Try leaving your glass house every so often and join the ranks real world. I think you should know how much it sucks like the rest of us mere mortals with our imperfections. I bet your hubby would love it if you contributed to the bills every so often. Today’s men like women who contribute financially. Yes, go and get a REAL job, will ya! You know, the kind where you leave your house (I doubt you have talent to have a business from home and who needs the insecurity anyway?) fight and curse at traffic, go to some square building where you do everything someone in a big office who calls him/herself ‘boss’ orders you to do in exchange for taxable income.
Besides, what will you do if/ when your hubby leaves your sorry frumpy freeloading ass for a younger fresher model? Many men do it when they hit middle-age as it makes them feel young again and they feel more motivated to find that Soon-Yi Allen look-alike when wife simply stays home & gets more and more frumpy. Since you don’t contribute to your household bills, the odds ain’t in your favour for hubby stickin’ around. Then where will you be with no work, work experience, education or marketable skills?
To paraphrase Frances McDormand from the movie, “Something’s Gotta Give”; middle-aged women are the most fucked up demographic.
No, Suzy ALLCAPSLOCK!! Staying at home watching soaps on beer and popcorn is not a real job. I already explained what a real job was above.
So Sara, get your ass into gear for the work force while you’re still young enough to do so. There is no excuse. It’s difficult, and yes, interviewers balk when they notice time gaps in CVs, but it’s doable if you’re willing to make concessions. So stop your fucking snivelling already, will ya?
After being on disability for a number of years, I went back to school and then looked for work. No work for pre-press technicians or graphic artists, let alone for a late-thirty something just off disability. I took a job where there is high turnover, thus the boss had lower standards for selecting employees. I became a taxi dispatcher. Yes, I ended up burning out from it. When I recovered, I registered at every temp and placement agency, signing up for whatever office work I could get. I ended up with a temporary job as a receptionist; I went back to school (yes on Emploi Quebec program; evul soshalism, ooohhh!!). I further developped my computer skills and so goes my building my CV. Today, I am one of those evil civil servants for Social Services in Quebec as an administrative assistant; those jobs aren’t easy to get without a winning CV and interview as well as good skill test scores. So, what say you?
Oh and Sara, women like you and Suzy ALLCAPSLOCK are what gives us members of the left winged fringe group a bad name.
UPDATE: Let the Games Begin!
Oh, gotta love connie anti-feminists clawing each other for supremacy. There seems to be hinting at a law suit from Sara. Oh no! No! We can’t have that, now can we? For the love of Gawd, Sara!! Get a REAL job! Stop being such a drain!
Anonymous! Why don’t you let us know who you are and own the comment? It was dead on!
Hmmmm. I found Irene Mathyssen’s response just a tad insulting. No question she’s pointing out the dif between privileged women (like the sniveler) and those women forced to work to make ends meet. Then goes on to say having affordable childcare would be the first step in making sure these families do not fall below the poverty line.
Except WE HAVE NO CHILDCARE! affordable or otherwise, so I can only guess if you read between the lines, she’s suggesting to the sniveler to go take a child care worker course (since she loves chillens so much) and open up a centre, it would be the sniveler’s solution and help out others.
Then Mathyssen goes on to say programs should exist for women after taking time off paid work cleaning up your elderly, ill or disabled family member.
Key word SHOULD, There aren’t any.
What I get from Mathyssen’s reply is STFU, We Don’t Got Nothing For You, any of You, Sorry for your Luck, have a nice day.

I agee that the only true choice for child care, as this sniveling princess’s blog is titled is a national daycare plan. Period.
As I’ve pointed out, I do Know plenty of families where one spouse is forced to stay home because of lack of proper child care. It is for those people I have empathy.
Mathyssen’s EA is a kickass writer, s/he can insult w/ot even saying so, ha. Handy skill, guess that’s why s/he’s got a job.
Oh, my stars. A new name for my weekly wankapedia! Sara Landriault, come on down! You’re the next contestant on The Con is Wrong!
PS: Captcha code was “SL8U”. “Slate You”, how appropriate…
