       'Women (and often their children) killed by the men who should have loved them the most. And for what? Revenge? Anger? Powerlessness? A need for domination? The patriarchal notion that they were someone’s property, and if they couldn’t have them, no one should?The same sick scenario plays out time after time. I’ve written so often about femicide and domestic violence that I’m certain I’ve plagiarized myself by now. How many different words can you possibly use over the years to communicate the same horror?A woman or girl is killed roughly every other day in Canada, according to the Canadian Femicide Observatory. In 90 per cent of the cases, the killer is male. In most of those cases, the man was an intimate partner or knew the victim.'https://cultmtl.com/2020/01/femicide-a-crisis-we-tolerate/?fbclid=IwAR1plFtzxvsAy0MVzxG-B4_hwsjsm0BquYg9cVweLzUG_UOnsI7Z4QFRnoI

       'Records show that the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights only hosted five witnesses during their study of Bill C-16. One witness was then-Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, and the four others were Department of Justice Staff.

       'The decision in Gallese’s case reflects some deeply disturbing notions.The first is that men — even violent criminals — have a right to satiate their sexual appetites with another person.The second is the perverse idea that if a violent man is incapable or not ready to form a healthy relationship with another person, it’s OK for him to engage in unhealthy relationships where, as the buyer, he has power over the seller.Finally, putting the sexual needs of a violent criminal ahead of the safety of other Canadians, including those who do sex work, suggests a grotesque hierarchy that is an affront to the constitutional and moral ideals of equality.'https://vancouversun.com/opinion/columnists/daphne-bramham-allowing-paroled-murderers-to-visit-brothels-isnt-just-stupid-its-illegal-and-deadly?fbclid=IwAR1927fnpUXWiLa_2NosNE4yZdhsQHMtNT8JraJtlc8DQxaicDXx7oSL01k

       'Nearly everyone knows that hating women for being women is a bad look — but what if they were white women? Presto chango, suddenly you’re punching up! No wonder the angry men are so attached to it, and no wonder there are plenty of women eager to defend Karenning in the hope they can keep themselves out of the punching line. Which means that Karen is just the same tatty old woman-hating gussied up for 2020.'https://unherd.com/2020/04/the-sly-sexism-of-the-ok-karen-meme/

       Julie Bindel:  ā€˜Liberal feminists are so scared of offending men that they bend over backwards to maintain the status quo as opposed to seeking proper liberation for women. They are happy to be given a seat at the table where they might get thrown a few crumbs, rather than taking an axe and smashing it to smithereens. If men support a particular type of feminism that should be a clue as to its ineffectiveness. Feminism should be a threat to men because we are seeking liberation from patriarchy, which means that they lose the privilege they were afforded at birth by simply owning a penis.’https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2020/11/16/feminisms-second-wave-has-failed-women/?fbclid=IwAR1VwmUhqJ0kAFyxNpRk6kxS18Q1hj5IBHAPBBR5q5n-8GN6JUhmYpQsWdQ

       Jo Bartosch:  ā€˜The idea of cultural appropriation, that is to say when someone from a privileged group adopts the attributes of a subordinated one, is beloved by the bien pensant. Guardian columns on the ethics of white people with dreadlocks are shared by those desperate to display their right-on credentials. And yet, curiously, when men appropriate the clothes that women are culturally expected to wear, they are celebrated as brave.’https://thecritic.co.uk/male-transgenderism-is-sexism-on-steroids/

       Meghan Murphy:  'There is no such thing as trans person — there are males and females, and that’s all that matters, in terms of both ā€œgenderā€ and sex. And the sooner we stop playing along with this nonsense theory, the sooner we can all get back to discussing and addressing reality like adults.'https://www.feministcurrent.com/2021/12/13/this-is-why-the-true-trans-approach-is-a-problem
