Well, I get the context you're stating this in, but I would extend this to professional sports.

But I now see people trying to draw controversy from one saying Serena Williams isn't as good as the top men, even though statistically her serve wouldn't even register as remotely close to the strongest for the men.

But yeah, I have always valued what my wife brings to the relationship. She is great at things I suck at, and vice versa.

I don't see how its a bad thing.

I saw a woman at the grocery store wearing a micro mini skirt so short, even her leaning forward would leave some parts exposed. This is how I found out she wasn't wearing any panties. 

I had never seen a multiple cart accident in a grocery store, but literally several men walked into each other. 

I couldn't believe a man would want to go out with a woman that looks like this, having any level of respect for her.

Then I saw her man. He looked like the stereotypical "guido" type d-bag:

Don't get it twisted. My wife loves short skirts and dressing sexy, but keep it classy o_O.

What makes me laugh are the women who don't take heed to that advice, getting upset at the men approaching them solely seeking sex.

My wife is from the Philippines, and its a night and day difference. Her daughter is business minded, humble and by the time she was 12, had tons of skills already, from cooking to entrepreneurship.

well the girls from other counties are socially conservative

whether it's from the Philippines or South Asia

those girls are not wearing shorts with their assess hanging out

I have a Millennial friend whose Italian

he doesn't even look at Canadian girls

he's dating a South Asian raised in Trinidad, and she is ultra conservative

well it's the chaos which incites the economic collapse

for example losing control of borders and flooding the country with far more immigrants than the economy can absorb

And there are economic drivers behind all of it.  Increasing or level prosperity, the ability to live, eat, have recreation and pursue social goals and self-improvement goals... Goals... These are necessary foundations for a public mood that supports generosity and kindness. 

Our productivity has never been higher, so you can ask yourself now what the problem is.

I'd suggest that the most serious economic problem for Canada going forward

is that the Americans just don't need Canada anymore

they don't need Canadian workers

they don't need Canadian resources

the Americans have the same sort of workers and resources, in abundance

and the Americans are far better at developing and bringing goods and services to market

so suddenly Canada finds itself competing with America rather than complementing

and Americans are becoming increasingly protectionist in the face of it

the engines of the Canadian economy is Southern Ontario plus natural resources

but the industrial jobs in Ontario used to pay $35/hour in 1980's dollars

now they pay $20/hour in 2024 dollars

and its $2000-$3000 to rent a one bedroom apartment if you can find one

and Toronto has more unemployed now than the entire province of Quebec

and this is not when America is in recession, America is actually booming right now

I agree with all that you say.

 

The reason for all of this is lack of competition for the investor class IMO.  I have worked for a number of millionaire entrepreneurs who lived off money managed money and were too stupid to deliver pizza.

Adam Zivo: Militant LGBTQ activists ill-equipped to handle growing backlash 

Support for the LGBTQ community has declined, and activists have themselves to blame

Adam Zivo

Published Jun 19, 2024

New polling data shows that support for LGBTQ rights is dropping precipitously in Canada — and while many queer activists will inevitably blame the far right for this development, the fact is that they themselves helped sabotage their own public support. Their abrasiveness and militancy has alienated the public, and though a strategic shift is needed, I fear that community leaders will fail to understand this until it is too late.

According to this year’s edition of the Ipsos LGBTQ+ Pride Report, which polled adults in 26 countries, support for queer rights has decreased across the globe since 2021. Several metrics suggest that the starkest changes occurred in Canada.

This year, only 49 per cent of Canadian respondents believed that people should be open about their orientation or gender identity (down 12 points from 2021), while support for LGBTQ people publicly kissing or holding hands fell to 40 per cent (down 8 points). Fewer Canadians want to see openly gay or bisexual athletes (50 per cent, down 11 points) or more LGBTQ characters on screens (34 per cent, down 10 points).

Canadians have been souring not just on visibility, but legal rights, too.

Only 54 per cent of respondents supported LGBTQ-inclusive anti-discrimination laws that guarantee equal employment, housing and educational opportunities. That number was 63 per cent just three years ago. And while same sex marriage and child adoption remains popular — at 75 and 70 per cent, respectively — these rights also saw concerning drops in support (down 7 and 11 points).

There has clearly been a global backlash against the LGBTQ community over the past two years — with accusations of pedophilia and “grooming” surging after decades of hibernation — but this is the first time that polling data has quantified its impact on Canadian attitudes.

The LGBTQ community needs to pivot. Hard and fast. Yet the militant activists who currently dominate the community seem ill-equipped to understand, let alone address, the rising challenges that threaten to undo decades of progress. In fact, they arguably are a major reason why this backlash exists in the first place.

Where its not taboo to raise your daughter to be a good wife, your son to be a good husband.

Family values. Education. 

Life isn't a cake walk, and building skills accordingly.

Now you can victimhood your way to basically going through life without accountability in the west.

And people wonder why people have no shame in stealing and calmly walking out of a store, or a woman wearing white leggings without underwear feeling like shaming a guy for staring when I can literally see you trimmed a landing strip above your cooch, in a second before you walk last me.

If I say anything, am slut shaming. I push for arrests on thefts, and am not "dealing with the mental health issues that cause this".

I went to Hong Kong, and there is law and order even among drug addicts.

Uncanny, when you can go to prison for a year for shattering a window, how it tends to just stop happening.

The town painted a crosswalk in rainbow colours and put up a rainbow flag in a popular tourist area.  I find this ridiculous and very presumptive for them to think they have the right to impose the LGBTQ ideology on the whole town.

the presumption that this is all anyone wants to see or talk about for the next month or more

gives the impression that homosexuals are apparently pathological narcissists by nature

over 100,000 Canadians killed in both World Wars, sacrificing themselves with valour

that gets one hour of one day, from 11am to Noon on November 11th

being a queer wearing chaps down at the gay bars, that gets a month at minimum

Though, of course, it isn't. People are simply cowed and browbeat into not openly disagreeing.

It’s about a lot more than guys in drag doing story time. It’s a wide swath of beliefs, training and policies based on identity and sexual orientation. It’s an attack on the values that are foundational to Western democracies. It’s a melange of radical ideas about race and gender tied to Marxist ideas about class conflict and how to fix it. Basically groups of people have been selected for special treatment, and any means that the directors of this project deem necessary to achieve equal outcomes are justified.  There’s also a total lack of respect for differences of opinion and beliefs.

Don't forget having your nation dismissed as illegal and not even a real nation, its entire history described as one long demonstration of racism, bigotry, and genocide.  And its present nothing more than a hopelessly racist and oppressive society to anyone not a white male Christian. This is what really undermines the foundations of our democracies and societies

not sure how having a legal parade is giving anyone special treatment. The conservative groups could apply for the permit and would receive them. Would their parade be as well attended? Probably not. 

I'm sure it would be well attended by the Left, who would scream abuse and try to block it.

If you're going to claim that none of them have an agenda and that this kind of thing has no influence on kids in the slightest i think you'll have a tough sell.  I just posted the one where the guy got caught singing "if you're a drag queen and you know it - free palestine".   Tell me all about how there's no alterior motive there   

To disrupt this dynamic, the authors propose a new teaching method, “drag pedagogy,” as a way of stimulating the “queer imagination,” teaching kids “how to live queerly,” and “bringing queer ways of knowing and being into the education of young children.” As Kornstein and Keenan explain, this is an intellectual and political project that requires drag queens and activists to work toward undermining traditional notions of sexuality, replacing the biological family with the ideological family, and arousing transgressive sexual desires in young children. “Building in part from queer theory and trans studies, queer and trans pedagogies seek to actively destabilize the normative function of schooling through transformative education,” they write. “This is a fundamentally different orientation than movements towards the inclusion or assimilation of LGBT people into the existing structures of school and society.”

For the drag pedagogists, the traditional life path—growing up, getting married, working 40 hours a week, and raising a family—is an oppressive bourgeois norm that must be deconstructed and subverted. As the drag queens take the stage in their sexually suggestive costumes, Kornstein and Keenan argue, their task is to disrupt the “binary between womanhood and manhood,” seed the room with “gender-transgressive themes,” and break the “reproductive futurity” of the “nuclear family” and the “sexually monogamous marriage”—all of which are considered mechanisms of heterosexual, capitalist oppression.

After the norms of gender, sexuality, marriage, and family are called into question, the drag queen can begin replacing this system of values with “queer ways of knowing and being.” Kornstein and Keenan make no bones about it: the purpose of what they call drag pedagogy, or the “pedagogy of desire,” is about reformulating children’s relationship with sex, sexuality, and eroticism. They describe drag as a “site of queer pleasure” that promises to “turn rejection into desire” and “[transform] the labour of performance into the pleasure of participation,” and DQSH as offering a “queer relationality” between adult and child. They litter their paper with sexualized language and double entendres, blurring the lines between adult sexuality and childhood innocence. In fact, as the queer pedagogist Hannah Dyer has written, queer pedagogy and, by extension, drag pedagogy seek to expose the very concept of “childhood innocence” as an oppressive heteropatriarchal illusion. “

Yup, it’s not what the vast majority of people want.  In fact it’s highly arguable that this is grooming and even highly suggestive of pedophilia.

Enough.   The problem of course is that too many people have been swindled into supporting a cause that, if they actually knew what’s behind it, they would never support. At some point reasonable people became co-opted, and there’s enough of these dupes in most organizations to make it hard to reverse this agenda in Canada.  On so many levels Canada is lost.

I have come to 3 conclusions after analysing your posts:

 

1. You are lying to the forum, when you state you are 6'4

2. You probably either do not have a girlfriend, or have one who has very low self-esteem.

3. You harbour an unnatural hatred of women in general.

LILLEY: Primary school drops 'women' for 'people with a uterus'

Brian Lilley

Published Jun 18, 2024

 

Our elementary schools in Ontario are now on the forefront of erasing women from our language and culture. A friend’s son, in Grade 5, was given homework this week that used terminology that five years ago would have been ridiculed widely; now it’s taught in the classroom.

Forget terms like women and girls, boys and men and embrace terms like “people with a uterus” or “people with a penis” and then split people into those with more estrogen and less estrogen.

“This is not our policy. We expect that school boards are focused on getting back-to-basics on the fundamental skills that children need, like reading, writing and math,” said Isha Chaudhuri, senior communications advisor to Education Minister Todd Smith.

Well, I’m glad that this isn’t the official policy of the Ministry of Education, but I’m still not feeling good about this. It’s yet another example of the minister’s office playing whack-a-mole with teachers and activists within the system.

When sex education was introduced into the school system when I was a young whippersnapper, parents were told that it was just about teaching the facts of life. As the age at which subjects were taught was lowered over the past 40 years, parents were again assured that these classes were just about teaching the basic facts.

Now, the classes are about teaching children that men and women don’t exist. There are simply people with uteruses and penises, and some people with more testosterone and others with less.

It’s not just sex ed that has been overtaken by politics, it’s the whole school system.

Playing whack-a-mole with this craziness is getting tiring and making sane people wonder would it be better to tear down the whole education system and salt the earth below it rather than to try to salvage what little hasn’t been infected with this insanity.
