The_Squid Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 As if it's sexist to actually recognize a prominent Canadian woman... that's pure drivel. Quote

kimmy Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 People still use paper money? Maybe I can get a client bank card with Nellie McClung on it. Speaking of which, I just received a flyer from the Roycal Canadian Mint, which is issuing commemorative loonies this year. In 1916, women in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta gained the right to vote in provincial elections; these loonies mark the 100th anniversary. The coin depicts an unnamed woman in a hat casting a ballot, while her daughter watches. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
Argus Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 As if it's sexist to actually recognize a prominent Canadian woman... that's pure drivel. It is if you chose to recognize her minor contributions over much more important ones made by men.

jacee Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 It has taken better men than you a long time to recognize the subtleties of the way women build a society. But we don't care what you think. . Quote
Argus Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) It has taken better men than you a long time to recognize the subtleties of the way women build a society. But we don't care what you think. . There are no better than me. And if their contribution is subtle how do you propose putting them on a dollar bill?

Guest Posted April 15, 2016 Report Posted April 15, 2016 Has anyone mentioned Christine Sinclair? Quote
jacee Posted April 15, 2016 Report Posted April 15, 2016 I don't think anyone would question there used to be sexism in society. But putting a woman on a bill simply because she's a woman is sexism nowUnh ... you've lived this long and you still can't comprehend this?If your cement is too dry, what do you do? If your society is too male dominated, what do you do? It isn't rocket science, Argus. ? Quote
Argus Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 What happened to your 'babe' comment? How do you really feel about female contributions to Canada? I'll let you know when I see some.

Big Guy Posted May 4, 2016 Report Posted May 4, 2016 My vote would be for Nellie McClung. Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.

Argus Posted May 4, 2016 Report Posted May 4, 2016 My vote would be for Nellie McClung. Nellie McClung was one of many people who campaigned for something which was actually DONE by Robert Borden. Ironically, it is almost certainly going to be Robert Borden who is removed from a bill to make room for someone with breasts.

Argus Posted May 4, 2016 Report Posted May 4, 2016 Eeeeew. :/ . Sorry if the truth hurts. I'm not saying women did not, in their millions, contribute to the growth of Canada. But there was no single woman who had any real influence over the development of this country anywhere NEAR as much as a large collection of male political, business and military leaders. Explorers? All men. Business people? All men. Political leaders? All men. Military leaders? All men.

Argus Posted May 4, 2016 Report Posted May 4, 2016 The Queen aint dead yet. The government has said that whatever NEW woman gets to be on a dollar bill will have to be safely dead first.
