Campus ‘wingers “protest” safe spaces…with an own goal

Posted on October 27, 2017 by Sabina Becker

Funny how it’s the people who’ve had their safe space for the longest time (white, right-wing, male, presumably straight and cisgendered) are now kvetching that others might suddenly have a right to their own, where these latter-day Columbuses are getting … Continue reading →

Say WHAT, Dubya?

Posted on October 19, 2017 by Sabina Becker

Holy shit. Look who broke his lengthy silence to dis Donnie Drumpf without even saying his name: Honestly, it’s a cold day in Hades when Dubya starts to actually sound somewhat smart, if only in comparison to someone else, ahem. … Continue reading →

Music for a Sunday: One for Harvey Weinstein (and all his victims)

Posted on October 15, 2017 by Sabina Becker

When I first heard this song (at 14), I didn’t like it. AT ALL. Because even at that age, I knew what icky sexual manipulation sounded like the moment I heard it. Years later, I found out that Phil Oakey … Continue reading →

How depressing is it when even Antarctica isn’t a safe place to be female?

Shame on you, Neil Macdonald…AGAIN.

Posted on October 11, 2017 by Sabina Becker

As someone who lives in what’s so quaintly called a “bedroom community”, I get to see my fair share and then some of what happens when people flee the unaffordable real estate market of Toronto. Good things, occasionally; bad things, … Continue reading →

Nazis terrorize Charlottesville AGAIN. Police do worse than nothing…AGAIN.

Posted on October 10, 2017 by Sabina Becker

Dowdy Dickie Spencer’s latest charm offensive in Charlottesville was a cowardly flop. They had what — three, four dozen people, max? — and were so scared of backlash that they required a police escort. Which they got. Now, you can … Continue reading →

So long, Hef…and thanks for NOTHING.

Posted on September 28, 2017 by Sabina Becker

So, the long overdue has finally happened: Hugh Hefner is dead. He leaves behind four children, two ex-wives, and one current one who stands to inherit…NOTHING. That’s right, folks, she gets bupkus, thanks to a pre-nup that Hef had her … Continue reading →

Obama warned Facebook — wait, WHAT?

Posted on September 26, 2017 by Sabina Becker

Why, oh WHY, was this not making the headlines back when it really mattered? Nine days after Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg dismissed as “crazy” the idea that fake news on his company’s social network played a key role in … Continue reading →

Donnie’s pathetic anti-Venezuela salvo falls flat

Posted on September 23, 2017 by Sabina Becker

People didn’t clap for Donnie’s call for sanctions against Venezuela. They snickered. Because it IS pretty damn dumb to praise “sovereignty” on the one hand, and then go undermining it just because you hate it when it takes the form … Continue reading →

How sexism works against abuse victims

Posted on September 12, 2017 by Sabina Becker

A little something from the other side of the pond caught my eye this morning. And promptly made me see red. See if you can guess what it is before I tell you… The child sex victim of an Asian … Continue reading →
