.....pack up your "bread and roses" party paraphernalia...
How Sexism WorksInternational Women's week is now over.....pack up your "bread and roses" party paraphernalia...it's back to reality sisters.....
- The antics of Parliament had the folks at rabble wondering what country we are living in?
- Real change needed at women's shelters in Canada - Transforming Shelters Beyond Protection
- National Post reminds us that "The word "hysteria" has its root in the Greek word for uterus....we need to know this in order to understand the hysteria over "The Unborn Victims of Crime Act"?
- Really? Well, we couldn't agree more with Ariel over at Xtra.ca who says: ...establishing legal "personhood" for fetuses .....makes for a banner year for religious wingnuts....
- And on Harperites as heroes for Afghan women?.... MPs Marleau and Mathyssen expressed concern that Afghan women parliamentarians were being used for public relations and political purposes.....possibly to justify the government's agenda to extend the war there?
- Robert Fox (executive director of Oxfam Canada) says "If women’s needs truly mattered, resources would match rhetoric.."
- Hillary's strong presidential run may suggest a shift in the power balance...... But, in the U.S., here in Canada, and around the the world, there is a lot of power to shift.....lest we forget...... 20 per cent of MPs are female and just 11 per cent of them members of the governing Conservative party
