Addendum to Damned Statistics
Now that we know how badly the right here in Canada (and the U.S.?) has taken the news that - thanks to Feminism (i.e., progress) - girls are doing better in school than boys, perhaps we should pull out of Afghanistan before the same thing happens there.
Afterall, if it's causing such a fuss here (with the inevitable anti-Feminist backlash that will continue to go on for years in our rightwing media by our rightwing pundits) it's bound to cause a fuss when the same thing happens in Afghanistan.
But isn't it interesting how the right ballyhooz against girl power when we actually have some but pretends that's what it wants for Afghanistan?
And sadly hilarious how they seem themselves as the good guys but men everywhere else as the bad guys - especially men here on the left who DON'T whine about girls doing better in school than boys, women working outside the home, girls and women having reproductive rights, etc etc etc.
It's all too ironic topped with a shitload of hypocrisy. Ever since girls and women acquired human rights equal to boys and men in this country, the right has been emitting one long ceaseless whine about it.
