Feminism vs. Capitalism

I’m actually interested in hearing some of the feedback on this issue. I posted a discussion about this on my Facebook page this evening to see the Libertarians and the Feminists duke it out.

A Hamilton, Ontario woman was breastfeeding her son in the “play area” of her local McDonald’s when the [female] manager on duty approached her and asked her to do it elsewhere (like in the washroom, for example) on the grounds that it was making some of the other customers uncomfortable. Of course, what better way to combat being asked to leave a restaurant than to contact the local press!

In any case, I don’t have any sort of problem with women breastfeeding. It’s natural, it’s normal. That being said, it’s up to any local business owner to ask anyone they’d like to leave for any reason. It’s called the free market. That being said, the free market also allows for mothers to team up and boycot a restaurant that won’t allow women to breastfeed there. Of course, property rights are inevitibly lost upon the left as is any sort of liberty.

The woman’s response was, “This is a restaurant and my child is having his dinner.” Proving that I should not be in customer service, my rebuttal would have been, “outside food and beverages are not permitted. Sorry ma’am.”

London's Feminazi: The case against Megan Walker

Every city has a select few who try and get into the media at all costs. Generally, they do this by actually doing stuff that may be newsworthy. Feminazis have their own way of doing things however, which brings us to Megan Walker, executive director of the London Abused Women’s Centre in London, Ontario. (Frequent readers of this blog will note that London, Ontario is the first stop of Ann Coulter’s cross-Canada tour commencing on Monday.) Instead of actually doing stuff, Megan Walker takes it upon herself to merely send out mundane press releases about how much she disapproves of what everyone else is doing. Sadly, local leftists eat that up.

For some reason, feminists have a bit of a problem with Ann Coulter. They advocate for girls to spread their legs and dress like prostitutes (and murder their baby if they get knocked up,) yet don’t agree with an empowered, successful, opinionated women writing about Christian values.

From London’s AM 980:

Her appearance has angered many in the community including director of the London Abused Women’s Centre, Megan Walker.  She says Coulter is a divisive figure with dangerous opinions.

“I don’t object to anybody who is a controversial figure. I think controversy is really great because it brings forward a lot of ideas and dialogue. What concerns me about Ann Coulter is she uses her platform to spew hatred and often times is very discriminatory towards minority groups.” she said.

Kudos to Walker: she managed to make a statement and backtrack on it in only two sentences! (She also managed to misquote Ann Coulter twice in one sentence.) I fully believe in equal rights for people regardless of gender, race, or anything else outside of one’s control. However, Megan Walker comes from the “castrate all men and shove a vacuum in their hand” variety of activists who keep a rolodex of self-loathing self-victimizing statements on hand to attempt to claim immunity from criticism due to their status. Fortunately, I’m just heartless enough to ignore the laying of the victim card. This is the woman who accused me of supporting violence against women to the London Free Press because I was speaking on a holiday that happened to occur on the same day as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women (also filed under “Useless Non-Holidays.”)

So, Megan just secured her position among the leftists who agree with free speech…so long as you agree with them.

The problem with feminazis

We all know how damaging feminism has been to…well, to pretty much everything. Feminism has been helping teenage girls to get knocked up, dress skankily, find imagery of sexism everywhere, all the while hating men. Apparently having an abortion on YouTube is the latest trend for the feminazi movement. I won’t link to the actual video for two reasons. 1) I think it’s deplorable; 2) If you are really set on finding it, you wont find any trouble.

The video itself isn’t graphic at all, it’s just an annoying attention-seeking atheist talking. Apparently the real graphic stuff were her live “Tweets” about the process.
