It’s a restaurant / bar in New West I’ve known about for some time but I’ve never been. Véronique and I had a bit to eat and a little something-something to drink, and it was very yummy and convivial. I am hoping at some point to get custody of the church website, currently her bailiwick, so we worked through my extreme rudeness in asking for it when I wasn’t really authorized by the Board to do that (sorry!) and how any handoff will be handled in this ‘real life’ we keep hearing about.
I recommend the Orange Room; pricey but really nice and comfy.
We also talked about some trends in second wave feminism which includes a culture war with transpeople, which I had been dimly aware of but not really up on, and candidly it’s appalling, but it’s hard for me to entirely sort out how icky it is because I’m not in possession of some background. Anyway, I need more reading material, so I asked for it. I do think gender essentialism, unless you’re talking about the mechanics of getting and bearing children, needs an enema.
Katie has moved into a place with the help of her father. I came home and the top mattress off my bunk bed was gone – so that’s done.
Gender essentialism…
Any fragment groups that are fighting need to shake heads and hands. I spent time ‘splaining to someone who does not like seeing muslims come in to the campground that he, after 42 years in Canada, enjoying the scenery, the capitalism, and avoiding as many taxes as possible STILL speaks with a czech accent, still translates to english to converse (I can tell because his sentences are backwards) and still tries to do business like he is in Czechoslovakia even though IT NO LONGER EXISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE is PART of the multicultural problem. In my logic tight boxes, multiculturalism encompasses gender (yes, I know lawyers and politicians do not think that way).
People got to make up their minds
Korean businessmen’s associations are allowed. No white canadian women’s business associations though, that would be prejudicial. When do I get a chance to promote my interests? Why is everyone else fighting about how much I have to kowtow to them?
Gender messes now too. Can women ever get credit for making the world work? We are *inclusive, effective, industrious, and yet now we have to have gay women and transgenders have a petty war
GET WITH THE PROGRAM PEOPLE. START WALKING YOUR TALK.
I am so disgusted with humans.
*except for those who are ‘smart’ enough to perpetuate the male world paradigm, and provide what is wanted instead of needed
