Auntie Bernadette

An e-mail I got from my brother about my mom's twin sister:

;_; I'm so scared right now. I wish I knew how she's doing. If anyone wants to fly me to new york I would love you forever.

Funny that

I write up one blog entry laying out the sexism of a specific incident in the media and the backlash by politicians and I am attacked and people are accusing me and misinterpreting what I have said. Why this specific incident? Because it was everywhere! But then, maybe it's different if you don't live in rural Alberta. Here, I'm surrounded by it.

You people are sick. I don't feel I should need to explain why calling someone a whore is unacceptable. It should be unacceptable everywhere.

Conservative Sexism

When I heard Belinda Stronach crossed the floor, I just knew the sexist comments would flood in. I hate how predictable some conservative types can be and it angers me.

Check out Conservative Medicine Hat MP Monte Solberg's blog.

Specifically these two entries:
May 17, 2005: "What do you get for the girl who has everything?" Solberg doesn't even use her name once and almost entirely only refers to her as "girl".

May 18, 2005: "Belinda Stronach of no fixed address" Solberg continues to refer to her as a girl, but uses her name this time. And only calls her a woman to say "It is a woman's prerogative to change her mind" and then attempts to soften it up by adding "and I support her right to do that".

And the Conservative Media is no better with their gender swipes:

- The corporate right-wing National Post says: BLONDE BOMBSHELL

- The blue collar right wing Edmonton Sun goes for the more crude: CHEAP TRICK

And by coincidence, after I thought about making this entry, I found this report on CBC's website:
Sexism cited in reaction to Stronach move

Frankly it disgusts me and with antics like these, I'm not surprised that the Conservatives can't gain more than one percent support even in light of the Sponsorship Scandal.

UPDATE The Liberal women's caucus is demanding an apology from anyone who made sexist or misogynist remarks. Full article on CTV.ca ~ Thanks Suzette!

Wee little update!

The new Game Boy Micro is sooo cute! I need and want one. I'll give my full E3 impressions later.

Just a note: I've been immortalized on Boing Boing when they posted an article about BDSM dolls.

The Bloggy Thingee of Stephanie Chan
Tuesday, May 24, 2005 Auntie Bernadette An e-mail I got from my brother about my mom's twin sister: We recieved a phone call from the U.S. today about aunt Burnadette, and it looks like mom will have to go to New York soon. Apparently Aunt Burnadette did not show up for work for 2 days. When they investigated, they found her in her appartment and took her to the hospital. The doctor said that she suffered a massive stroke. This is as much details that I have so far, but mom is getting ready just in case she has to leave right away. I'll get you more details as I find out what's happening. ;_; I'm so scared right now. I wish I knew how she's doing. If anyone wants to fly me to new york I would love you forever.
