Let’s Start Commemorating This International Women’s Day by Demanding Justice

By ck, on March 8th, 2014

Tweet

I will open with a Happy International Women’s Day to all my likeminded readers.  However, I’m afraid this is not a pleasant post.  I will be talking about many issues facing women today, mainly in Canada.

I found it hilarious that Tasha Kheiriddin, preaching human rights using typical right winged talking points when . . . → Read More: Let’s Start Commemorating This International Women’s Day by Demanding Justice

Babs Kay And Robyn Urback, By Denying a Rape Culture Exists, You’re Actually Contributing to It

By ck, on March 2nd, 2014

Tweet

Boys n girls, Babs Kay has exposed her betrayal to the sisterhood yet again.  This time she contends that the rape culture on university campuses virtually doesn’t exist, or at the very least, is grossly exaggerated.  First off, she gives an extremely dumb analogy:

Health-conscious people do not smoke for fear of getting . . . → Read More: Babs Kay And Robyn Urback, By Denying a Rape Culture Exists, You’re Actually Contributing to It

Say What, Jason Kenney?

By ck, on March 1st, 2014

Tweet

Well, boys n girls, Jason Kenney, still feverishly defending 2011 Harpercon election promise of income splitting for wealthier families, now says that it will help “stable” families.

“All of the social research indicates that folks who come from stable families tend to do better in terms of their economic prospects, and income-splitting supports . . . → Read More: Say What, Jason Kenney?

Canada slips 3 points in World Gender Gap. Now 22nd, behind Cuba!

By Jymn, on October 24th, 2012

Tweet

Wow. Canada, for all of Harper’s claims, is not getting any better. For women especially, the road is getting harder. It’s bad enough that anti-women-rights advocates like Woodward and Ambrose are putting up roadblocks to women working to gain equality, the government’s attitude towards women is becoming more and more dismissive.

Republican Richard Mourdock: Rape is a gift from God

By Jymn, on October 24th, 2012

Tweet

It’s not so much the absolute underscored disregard for women or the blind adherence to scripture that makes Richard Mourdock’s statement so egregious; it’s the rush from the GOP in support of the Senate candidate that is so startling.

The chairman of the Senate Republicans’ campaign arm is standing by Indiana Senate . . . → Read More: Republican Richard Mourdock: Rape is a gift from God

Mississippi Tea Party: women too emotional and diabolical to vote

By Jymn, on October 14th, 2012

This, coming from a local president of the Tea Party is no surprise. Being that it comes from a woman, that makes it full-on Eww! She must be reading Barbara Kay.

Our country might have been better off if it was still just men voting. There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful . . . → Read More: Mississippi Tea Party: women too emotional and diabolical to vote

Another teen commits suicide due to bullying, this time close to home. Coquitlam’s shame.

By Jymn, on October 12th, 2012

Tweet

What an ugly country this is turning out to be. Our government is being assailed by other nations for its war on children. Women and their rights are now under attack. People of colour and alternative sexual orientation are openly demeaned by right-wing media. It’s no wonder people are losing their minds and no longer hiding that . . . → Read More: Another teen commits suicide due to bullying, this time close to home. Coquitlam’s shame.

Judicial malpractice in France. Ten gang-rapists acquitted. Four get light sentences.

By Jymn, on October 11th, 2012

Tweet

What’s happening in France? Yes, racism has long been a problem for that country. But serial gang rapes? (Emphasis mine.)

Ten French men have been acquitted and four have received short sentences over the gang-rape of teenage girls in a trial described by one of the victims’ lawyers as a “judicial shipwreck”.

GOP Rep: “some girls rape easy”

Where we’re lectured on what “full context” means (emphasis mine):

Australia PM Julia Gillard labels opposition leader Tony Abbott a misogynist

By Jymn, on October 9th, 2012

Tweet

Nicely done. I especially love watching Abbott’s face as it slowly dissolves from smirk to anger to something akin to shame.

Something to think about when Canada votes in its next female PM, almost certainly to be a Dipper or Liberal.

Fuqua’s Folly: Canada’s future under Harper, Woodworth, Kenney et al?

Tweet

Yep, here’s where Canada’s Conservative party could one day be headed. With the subtle but urgent march of the likes of Woodworth, Kenney, and the 91 MP’s who voted against women’s rights, how much longer before we are urged to debate the right of women to vote?

Boys ‘n’ girls, I expressed concern that another hideous fetus bill or motion would be tabled sooner rather than later. I think many of us had that sick feeling.  This evening, we were Proven right.  The new wank face of fetus is Langley Harpercon, Mark Warawa AKA ra ra war.  He is supporting . . . → Read More: Gee, That Was Fast!

The Battle For Our Reproductive Rights is Won…But Why Do I Think We Haven’t Won the War?

By ck, on September 27th, 2012

Tweet

I know I haven’t written about ol’ Wankworth and his wankiness in some time.  Then again, I haven’t blogged about much of anything as of late.  I must offer my 2 cents here, boys ‘n’ girls.  I’m happy that this M-312 never came to light.

Iranian cleric gets just desserts after chastising woman for being ‘badly covered’

By Jymn, on September 25th, 2012

Outside of the hockey arena or football field, I don’t condone violent acts against individuals or groups. But I can’t help feeling a little giddy when I read about this fearless woman fighting back against an asshole cleric for dressing her down.

Arizona judge lectures victim of drunken cop’s sexual assault: “When you blame others, you give up your power to change”

By Jymn, on September 7th, 2012

Tweet Romney’s dream judge Arizona is fast becoming known as the most radicalized right-wing state in the USA. But more than that, it is the epitome of what a Romney America would be like. Jan Brewer, that emaciated, wrinkled prune of a Governor, is the ugly face of the racism, sexism and injustice that . . . → Read More: Arizona judge lectures victim of drunken cop’s sexual assault: “When you blame others, you give up your power to change”

Paul Ryan Sinks Even Lower Than Todd “Legitimate Rape” Akin

Yep, after ol’ Todd’s “legitmate” rape can’t get a woman pregant because the female reproductive system somehow on some universe ‘knows how to shut itself down’, Paul Ryan, Mitt’s running mate, sinks even lower.

The sexualized, infantilized coverage of Pussy Riot by western media

By Jymn, on August 21st, 2012

Tweet

by Igor Mukhin

Sarah Kendzior, in an article appearing in the Atlantic, points out the well-meaning but ultimately dismissive tone some western writers have adopted when writing about the women of Pussy Riot. The writer provides examples of this attitude, interesting enough from writers for the quasi-progressive blogs, Huffington Post and The New Republic.

Then again, given that this insanity is coming from a Muslim, perhaps not so fast.  It would if it were a white Christian with a “not-so-funny” sounding name.

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, that sure didn’t take long, did it?
