Oh, those were the days!  When one could just tackle patriarchal features of society without worrying about wholesale female erasure at the societal level.  For giggles (:/) lets just take a quick foray into the ‘approved’ uniforms for the Finnish Female Sand Handball team.  This is what they want to wear and have been censured and threatened with fines if they do not comply with what is the ‘official’ standard, see the next photo.

This what is officially sanctioned, and they will be fined if the deviate from the ‘norm.

 

And of course, what men get to wear.

Why? Because the male gaze is more important that female comfort, obviously.  It is the bullshit double standards and sexist rules like this that occurs a million times a day for females in our society.  We have been groomed to think that this is ‘normal’, but it is not.

Men are subjects, they have full control of themselves and their bodies.  Females, on the other-hand, are objects designed for the viewing and consumption of others.  It isn’t particularly fair, and it sucks.

Not actually the Drums of War, but rather the Battle over Courscant by John Williams.

This from a major Canadian ‘news’ website.

Forget about ‘just wanting to pee’ wedge issue bullshit – this is what we are in for in Canadian society; this is the upside-down, nothing has any meaning, timeline that trans ideology has in store for us.

Do not believe your eyes, but rather what some individual says about who they are. This is where belief in gender-magic takes us, where male violent crime is somehow called ‘female’ violent crime because the violent male has fucking delusions of gender and we need to respect that. 
No.  The word must get out of what is happening here and the bald-faced misogyny that is transgender ideology must be stopped.

“She is charged with sexual interference with a person under the age of 16 and sexual assault. Eby is set to appear in a Toronto courtroom on July 21.

In a news release issued on Tuesday, police said investigators believe there may be other victims.

Police are asking anyone with information related to the investigation to contact investigators or Crime Stoppers.”

How in any possible sane world is that person a she?  In Canada this male can, and will probably be detained with other female prisoners.  Read that again.   This sex offender will most likely be housed in a target rich environment lush with captive and accessible female victims.  Why (trans rights are male rights)?   Because he *feels* like a woman.  That is all it takes these days to be seen in the eyes of Canadian law as a woman – a simple declaration and *poof* a woman is nothing more than a set of feelings inside of a man’s head.

No ducking thank you.  Women are adult human females and have every right to reject men -especially predatory men- from their spaces and services.  You would think that the our prison service and government would be able to understand how bad an idea it is to house male sexual offenders in a female prison.

What?  Yeah.  This ‘progressive’ trans movement is so evil inclusive that it campaigns and is getting men into female prisons in Canada.  What could go wrong?

Meghan Murphy on the issue and and interview with Heather Mason who is leading the charge against having men in female only prisons.

“The Canadian government has been transferring males who identify as transgender to women’s prisons for a few years now, keeping the public mostly in the dark about this, and the impact on female inmates. The harassment and assaults that have taken place at the hands of these males has also, for the most part, been ignored — both by the government and the media. Only a few brave women have been trying, tirelessly, to force this conversation, and force people to care about these inmates, whose rights are being ignored as a result of Bill C-16, and new gender identity policies. Heather Mason is one of those women. Heather Mason is a 31-year old-mother to two children and a first time federal offender. She was sentenced to three years at Grand Valley Institution in Kitchener and is currently on Statutory Release in Toronto. She is an advocate for women in conflict with the law and a prison abolitionist. Heather recently co-founded a nonprofit organization, whose goal is to break barriers for women in social issues that lead to incarceration.”

So, the time to take action was yesterday, but it is never to late to act and to start to speak up for the rights and boundaries of Canadian Women. Call your MP, share this story widely, read up on what is happening in Canada in the name of misogynistic transgender ideology.

 

As a human rights charity, Birthrights believes that taking an inclusive approach which respects pregnant non-binary and trans people does not diminish women’s rights. We want everyone to feel welcome and safe in the birth movement and will continue to speak about both women and birthing people in our work.”

So, ask yourselves this easy question.

 

Which members of the human race can give birth?  It’s not a complicated answer if the reality we all share is important to you.

 

“Birthing People” – Just go away.   This is how dire the situation is.  A charity specializing in child birth cannot be arsed to comport with basic material reality.

Identity politics serves to corrupt the notions of morality, common sense, and what it means to live in a society under the rule of law.  This is a brief examination of a twitter thread I stumbled across about the recent cases of Catholic Churches being burnt down as misguided retaliation for the residential school system that was in place in Canada.

” SASKATOON — A former Polish Roman Catholic church in rural Saskatchewan was destroyed by fire Thursday.

The church was located near Redberry Lake, which is about 80 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon.

Lynn Swystun, who lives about a mile and a half west of the church, says she noticed smoke from her yard around 12:15 p.m. then drove to the area and discovered the church engulfed in flames.”

Now here is where it gets interesting, this is a response to the story.

 

Wait, what?  Where exactly is the conflation happening?  Damage to places of worship, in my books, is damage to places of worship.  But apparently, in Nora’s world, your identity is also somehow a factor that should be used to categorize the level of violence, determining whether the violence is ‘valid’ or not.

If you’ve been with us here DWR you know that I’m not exactly the biggest supporter of organized religion and all the tomfoolery it is responsible for.  But, even being the anti-religious soul that I am, I wouldn’t attempt to order and rank attacks on places of worship into ‘worthy’ and ‘less worthy’ categories.

What kind of internal moral compass is Nora going by here?

The hell?  It isn’t a hate crime to burn down a place of worship because of a political/ideological motivation?  And, yes the actions of the Catholic Church are indeed pretty horrible, but burning down a church is not how we express our displeasure in a nominally civilized society that values the rule of law.

Just in case if you missed it.  This is the moral wasteland that much of identity politics leads to.  The level of oppression Catholics face in our society is irrelevant the crime that has been committed.  Burning down a church is arson.  Arson is against the law, for good reason, in our society.  There is no “good” or “valid” arson permissible if one wants to live in a reasonable law abiding society.

Do you see it there?  The bullshit notion that there are differing levels of ‘arsonability’ based on your identity in society (of course it comes from a pronouns bio *smh*).  Err no.   There is no fucking way this paradigm can work if we want society as we know it to work.  Past oppression does not mean a free pass when you break the law.

Is protest a part of a democratic society, absolutely.  It is our civic duty to keep our political class in check and in tune with needs of the people.  Arson, however, is not one of those methods that should not be considered acceptable in society as a path to change.
