The irony about men being pissed at me on Facebook is that Facebook is the only social media platform where I can monetize my work (unlike here or Instagram) — and their outrage and "get a job"-type insults literally has the ability to help me pay the bills.

In 2005, Duncan Cameron wrote a piece arguing how the NDP needs to transform itself to be a workers' party. One of the changes was to end the dual provincial/federal membership and I think he's right: its a major roadblock to success.

Going to add too, for the benefit of my Canadian audience: In Canada, marital rape — the act of a husband sexually assaulting his wife — was only criminalized in 1982. Men ought to be taught about women's history. Because when we teach selectively, "never again" ends up reoccurring again and again.
Rape (Repealed Offence)

"Rape" as an offence was repealed and replaced by Sexual Assault in 1982.

1970 [Criminal] Code

    143. A male person commits rape when he has sexual intercourse with a female person who is not his wife,

        (a) without her consent, or
        (b) with her consent if the consent

            (i) is extorted by threats or fear of bodily harm,
            (ii) is obtained by personating her husband, or
            (iii) is obtained by false and fraudulent representations as to the nature and quality of the act.

    1953-54, c. 51, s. 135.

Massive upset in the officer leadership at #ndp2026 -- the "continuity" slate was defeated by a last-minute slate that included Libby Davies. Only people in the room are allowed to vote on this and so it not only seals the Lewis victory, but it also shows that support goes deep.

It's not that deep? Jim Crow-era landowners were, in general, spoiled, incompetent silver-spoon brats who didn't know how to actually do anything. Like manage their property. So they kept sharecroppers in debt to make up for it. You really don't have to romanticize it, it's just "power corrupts."
