@rssbot standing up at a Security conference hosted in Canada, in front of a 4-star general, Canada’s Chief of Defence Staff Jennie Carnigan and claiming that the ‘jury is still out’ on women in combat roles is intentionally provocative and offensive.

It’s also questioning long settled rights under Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms which give women equal rights constitutionally in Canada and, brought an end to policies and protocols that kept women from combat roles.

Thanks for flagging this.

General Carnigan is a Collège Militare Royale grad, an engineer, was Chief of Army Operations and Commander of Mission for NATO in Iraq (2019-2020). She has both the Order of Military Merit and the Meritous Service Medal.

"What we saw now was that all this was the result of an obsession – perhaps somewhat subconscious – with preserving an idea of traditional masculinity that both Biden and Harris threatened, in different ways. ...

Young, well-off white boys from liberal families are being tempted by conservatism simply to protect an archaic idea of masculinity that guarantees them inherent power."

Trump promises young men dominance.

"All that seemed as if it was just the beginning of a new wave of male conservatism that was infiltrating our school. Obsession with achieving a more muscular body through excessive exercise and intense dieting fueled by ridiculous social media campaigns fell far outside the realm of healthy self-care. And the desire to socialize only with other boys stood in stark contrast to the co-ed activities we were accustomed to since childhood."

"The boys that were the most vocal in their enthusiasm about the election results have progressive parents just like ours."

Girls in the school had already seen telling shifts among boys in the school: an increasing obsession with "the ideal masculine appearance" as shaped by the gym, "the creation of new male-dominated social activities like the infamous exclusive poker night."

A female student writes anonymously to report today in The Guardian about the changes she and other girls in her unnamed high school in a "mostly liberal" town in the Hudson Valley saw with boys in the school when Trump was elected.

"Subtle high fives" the morning after the election; whispers about the "impending success of the next four years," etc.

Melissa Deckman writes that Trump’s improved performance in 2024 was bolstered by an unexpected shift among male Gen Z voters. Analysis by CIRCLE at Tufts University found that young women favored Harris over Trump (58% to 40%) while young men backed Trump over Harris (56% to 42%) — a significant shift from 2020.

The Right's focus on motherhood, argues Nesrine Malik hides a more economic concern:

'A woman who does not bear children is a woman who will never stay home & provide unremunerated care.... She cannot be a resource that undergirds a male partner’s career, frailties, time limitations & social demands'!

For the Right, a women's place is producing children & supporting their partner & family.... not working & competing (economically) with men

quick recap into Wille Rydman, a nazi-pedofile who got kicked out of Coalition party for, well, being a pedofile, and who is currently a Basic Finn (nazi) minister at government lead by said Coalition movement. fun fact: originally Rydman replaced another basic finn nazi-minister.

even earlier it was already known that its dangerous for young women to be left alone with him.

TW: rape, nazi-shit

POLITICS. Police preliminary investigation: this is how Rydman talked to 14-year-olds about sexiness and "hotness". According to a preliminary investigation by the police, Coalition Party MP Wille Rydman talked to a 14-year-old secondary school student about her sexiness in the Parliament's cafeteria.
mariaveitola on instagram. "After a few years in the party, a retired Young Coalition activist raped me at a party event after first getting me really drunk. I didn't think it was anything worth mentioning. A career in politics would be worth it though. I gritted my teeth and didn't tell hardly anyone for a long time. The party's interests come first. Even then there were rumours about who to avoid and who to spend time with. The main warnings concerned the party's then young MP Wille Rydman. He was not the sort of person a young woman should be alone with. Soon afterwards he approached me, but I was already wary. I had once had a bad experience and had been warned by women who had been more active in the party's activities."
Maria Veitola writes. Today, the Parliament voted on the vote of no confidence in Minister of Economic Affairs Wille Rydman. As expected, he got the government's support behind him. And at the same time my heart was broken. Rydman's inappropriate behaviour was directed at young women who were in a subordinate relationship with him. They were the ones who had the most power. The trust Rydman was given tells an ugly story of what it is like to live as a woman in a Finland run by the current government. Two years ago, Helsingin Sanomat reported on Wille Rydman's inappropriate behaviour towards young women. Rydman then filed criminal charges against the women who appeared in the story and the journalists who wrote it. The investigation was closed as no crime had been committed. I was contacted by a woman who had appeared in the Helsingin Sanomat story under a pseudonym. She is here to tell me what she has been through in recent years and what she thinks about it now. Politics is a dangerous business for a young woman.
Wille Rydman. I've just returned from the Nazi attractions. My feet are sore and my mind is depressed. I knew beforehand, of course, that those Nümberg party buildings had not been well looked after. But it was just depressing to see on the spot how everything was crumbling. For Germans, that is a taboo. Somehow they don't dare or want to renovate them, as they are reminders of a sad past. But whether the past is sad or pleasant, one should still be able to appreciate and cherish the monuments of the past. Besides, that's just plain crazy. Those Nazi shrines could be popular tourist destinations, where the Germans could make money. That's what the Italians do with their Colosseums and the like. They organise guided tours and proudly tell how in the old days they used to feed foreigners to wild beasts in the arena and how they used to stage gladiator fights to the death. Yes. No one ever stops there. After all, the Colosseum is an arena of enormous bloody and cruel amusements, and yet we are not ashamed to it. In Zeppelin Alley, on the other hand, no one was killed or wounded, only angry Nazi speeches were made to the huge Nazi crowds who marched in straight lines and said Heil. But it is so bad that it cannot be made into a proper tourist destination and is left to ruin in peace. Some of those Albert Speer monuments have even been destroyed. Only so they wouldnt become some kind of Nazi pilgrimage site. I am reminded of the Romans and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
