And Amsterdam makes me jizz my pants
But I admit I am fully ready to get back to Montreal
And stop running around and twisting and turning and bending my will for others
And their organization
Phew

Anti-femme culture (and feminists aren’t immune to this) thinks the effort put into femme presentation is a waste of time and energy – or, at the very least, time and energy that could have been spent doing something more important. Anti-femme culture thinks ‘pretty’ probably means ‘dumb’ even when struggling against a culture obsessed with an impossibly narrow beauty standard. Anti-femme culture thinks you can’t do math AND do your nails.
We are humans! We contain multitudes! I do not think it is a problem that teenaged girls are interested in experimenting with presentation via fashion; I think it’s ridiculous and misogynist that they are ONLY encouraged to do that – and that boys don’t have the same freedom of expression.

Half for Happiness….
Awesome idea, people are given the option of buying half-size fresh food products at the normal full price and 50% of what they pay goes towards the charity Casa do Zezinho

More recently, ultra-Orthodox have taken to the streets to protest what they describe as persecution. They have received a lot of bad press as a result of attempts to enforce gender separation on public transportation and on city streets. As part of the protest, some dressed up as concentration camp prisoners.
It’s amazing how, in every instance, the fundamentalist portion of a Judaeo-Christian-Islamic religion feels they and their religious views are being ignored, or looked down upon or quashed, or that the rest of those in that particular milieu are not pious enough, and seeing that translate to a false sense of persecution when they go about doing anti-social and violent things.
Fundamentalism in religion is the root of the problem with religion. Religious faith is an individual choice, a personal journey, and even if you are part of a larger religious culture, you have no right to impose your viewpoint on others within that same culture. The Founding Fathers in America knew this, hence the First Amendment prohibition against government establishing or promoting a singular faith.
I can’t deny suffrage to women? Might as well be in a concentration camp, ugh!
Especially in light of conversations had yesterday where I was vaguely proud of my near-Orthodox Jewish heritage all I can really do is facepalm and say really? REALLY?
