Things I overheard today ,
the eve before my Federal Government decides whether abortion can, and should still be free and
available to all women in Canada.
This first conversation
snippet I overheard while at Rexall. There were 2 men and a woman, standing in
an aisle holding a conversation. One of the men was talking at the top of his
lungs:
“...Oh yeah, by the way, this
is my wife.” She works for me.” The
man who spoke had been talking for about 5 minutes before it dawned on him
to vaguely mention “the wife”, no name, nothing else. Mind, she didn’t speak up
either. Also notice the preposition he used, "for", not with.
“My wife works for me too” said the other caveman.
One of these two
neanderthals, I don't know which, I was in another aisle, then went on to say he had children at home, and kept referring to
them as his children, and how he looks after them or sees them when he gets
home. I guess the wife of his who also works for him is exempt from “wife
duties?” Could it be?
No, it’s just that men are
very, very selfish. Men always talk about themselves, first. They see the world
in terms of how it relates to them and their viewpoint.
“My kids, my wife…me, me
me.”
Same store..while I was at
the cash..the man manager to the female cashier:
“girl-managers, … we need
to get the girls...”
Me to the cashier: “He
just said girl-manager, what about boy-manager?
Her: “Yeah, girls vs boys.
There are some things that need heavy lifting, so…
I raised my eyebrows in
disgust.
Earlier this evening I was
watching stupid shows with heterosexual couples who want to buy houses. In the
first show, the male provided the oooh so big, $15,000 down payment, and then said to the
woman, who was purportedly his girlfriend, never “partner”, that he should
make the decisions about what to put in the house because he had paid.
She was upset, but did nothing. He kept saying he was happy to have a space for himself, in his new home. She kept trying to correct him, and get him to be inclusive, but really, if you have to correct someone and fucking remind them to value you, you've lost the plot!
The idiot man who was designing the house, put up black and white photos the caveman had taken on trips.The designer said he hadn't seen even one photo with the girlfriend in it, and still he put them up. She playfully punched her boyfriend, cuz she was real upset. Meanwhile the boyfriend complimented himself on his artistic skill. Wow!

What I want to know is,
why do women stay? Why put up with a demented, barbaric, rude, and, lest we forget, selfish caveman? Why?
The next show, same idea, only this time said young, het couple were getting an $85, 000 down payment from the husband’s parents. Sounds ok. The problems?
The parents were very openly rude to their son’s wife, and their son had absolutely zero backbone. The parents were insulting their daughter-in-law in front of the son, and he’d keep quiet.
Again, I gotta ask, why
the fuck would you stay?!!! Your spouse won’t stand up for you, and your
in-laws are misogynist throw-backs. If you stay, you too have no spine.
“Abortion should always be free. Do not support motion M-312! Supporting it will erode Canada's image as a freedom-supporting, progressive nation. If you criminalize my right to choose, you will turn Canada into an oligarchy of misogyny”
