A Carney stan in my replies said I was a fascist because I don't like Carney.
But as far as I can recall, I've never tightened immigration, expanded the military, or tried to make it easier for the cops to read everyone's mail.

"But to call the crime femicide — a sex- or gender-specific term — is in fact a radical rethink in a climate of neutrality that too often masks the disproportionate burden women and girls bear for some forms of male violence."
Why Canada needs to recognize the crime of femicide — on Dec. 6 and beyond
More than 1,100 Canadian women and girls have been killed by men since 2018. So why is the federal government dragging its heels in adding femicide to the Criminal Code?

I agree! I also find it utterly frustrating when fans (& foe!) of AI talk about how "it's evolving so quickly" as though someone pressed a button once & it's been doing its own thing ever since.
AI is not sentient or even intelligent. Human beings are pushing the technology to do more, more, more.

I don't understand why AI is considered "different". AI-generated content should be held accountable to all existing laws. The AI companies should be held accountable, too.

Since the creation of non-consensual pornographic deep fake images is not yet a crime in Canada, this is the first case I've seen where any charges are being laid.
In this case, it's because the images are classified as child sexual abuse and exploitation material because they are girls.

FYI Canadian media : Recently, the Criminal Code removed the term “child pornography” and replaced it with “child sexual abuse and exploitation material (CSAEM)”.
Words matter and language like "child porn" conflates abuse and exploitation with consensual sexual activity.

This feels like the central toxicity of these dude-gurus: They're feeding men an ideology that immediately casts it as "virtue signaling" whenever anyone states a moral value of any kind. An explicitly nihilistic worldview and a recipe for lifelong misery.

As a violence prevention educator, when parents ask me "What can I do to protect my kids from sexual abuse?", my advice is teach them the correct names for their body parts.
If a child is being abused and tells a teacher "My bird hurts", they're not gonna be able to clock that they don't mean a pet

Hi. I transcribe child forensic interviews
You know who doesn’t want kids to know the correct names for body parts? The predators that put those kids in a position to need child forensic interviews.
Those kids NEVER know the right words for their body parts and it is always a hinderance.

It’s okay to name butts. It's okay to laugh about them. It is developmentally appropriate and healthy for toddlers (let alone fifth graders) to name body parts. We all have bums. What is the fear here? 5/
