She works for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which is as bleeding-heart-leftist as PBS ... so it’s not really surprising
...who is raising lipstick lesbians.
For a large part of the population, it is a reflexive and instantaneous statement: “I support feminism” which is sometimes followed by some sort of “ ... but ...”.
I think Feminism is evil.
Women are fine. Women can hold any job, run companies, whatever. But they need to win the slots by merit, just like a man.
Feminism is a bad political philosophy which is less about supporting women and more about tearing down the values of western civilization. Look at Sarah Palin — on the one hand, she claimed she was a feminist. But the feminists hated her. She was a mayor, a governor, a business owner, a media personality, an author and a vice presidential candidate. Did the feminists support her as a remarkably successful woman? Hell no — they despised her for her support for western values.
I am not a feminist and I am reluctant to support anyone who speaks well of it.
Feminism as defined by the modern left is insanity.... Period.
Hopefully the children will turn out normal in spite of their mother.
I suspect she’d be fine if she had little boys that wanted to wear makeup. God blessed her with little girls instead.
The look like a lady of the night but still a feminist posture of the left is a couple decades old now.
The only way she’d have currency with this would be if it were her little boys so indulged.
Is she putting make up on her sons.
Or did she abort them?
K..I have to confess to only reading the head line.
And original statement may be out of line.
It may be out of line no matter.
Some want to wear Muck boots and drive a tractor.
A nod to my sweet wife, the cattle farmer. :-)
So us less sympathetic observers repeated to her her blather about how you have to let children be who they want to be and you can't force gender conformity or non-princess oppression on them in the name of yielding to dominant social forces.
So this mortified mother reluctantly let her daughter dress like a Disney princess while she dragged her to feminist rallies and social protests, spending most of her time there rationalizing and justifying herself to strangers about why her stubborn daughter was acting like a normal girl.
LOL. Talk about justification. This proud Feminist just can't bring herself to ditch make up. The social pressure of the patriarchy and all. So she "demystifies" makeup to "re-write the script". She gets to wear makeup and still be a proud feminist!!!! What a load.
They are all little feminists until the hormones kick in because they are little people who view grownups with a combination of fascination and horror. Nobody understands why the grownups do the crazy things they do, it makes no sense, and then the hormones hit. I guarantee you that those little girls will be hearing “blah, blah, blah, intersectionality, blah blah” because even I can’t even follow this woman without my mind drifting to other topics.
Six is too early.
I am raising little gun loving capitalists who hate leftist feminists in makeup.
JoMa
Even more disturbing is the mother of 2 boys who allows them to wear makeup, which is further down in the article.
