I once overheard someone *at the vigil* complaining that it was so cold and why did we have to do do it in December. I was like "TAKE IT UP WITH MARC, BABE"

Here is what I wrote in 2020, once again exhausted at people's refusal to name the problem for what it is - misogyny.

I have absolutely nothing new to say about this day.

So, I'll just repeat what I've said before.

Here is what I wrote right after the Van Attack where I drew a through line through all this horror:

As the article lays out, countries that have adopted it first had to come up with a definition and there are some variations from country to country. But it's typically understood as the former; a murder of a woman because of gendered circumstances.

Well said!

"At the time Dr. Sirpal began working in [...] Amherst, N.S., in 2023, he had also been charged criminally with assaulting his former girlfriend and trying to get her to forge a document to obstruct the investigation that led the Quebec college to delicense him."

His entire campaign platform on 'safety' was responsive - more policing, more laws, etc. Even looking at my portfolio, his proposed solutions to the femicide epidemic were entirely criminal code changes and more cops. CC needs some changes, sure. But ZERO focus on true prevention or systemic causes.

For sure. Same happened with non-consensual sharing of nudes. The first legal mechanism we had was the (at the time) "creation of child pornography" if the images were of girls and boys. Then we criminalized the sharing of ANYONE'S nudes without consent, regardless of age. Law needs to catch up.

He's also being charged with "Criminal Harassment" AKA stalking.

I don't think the legal system is ever going to solve the issue of gender-based violence but while we're stuck with this carceral system, I'm glad it's recognizing this as a form of stalking because it is!

I also just love this genre of post. "My friend, who absolutely sucks shit, is struggling to find a partner."

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.
