In related news, a Filipino Catholic woman working in Saudi Arabia pushed the cultural boundaries …. and was lashed
Yeah. It should have read:”a sign that young Muslim women continue to follow the dictates of traditional culture when it comes to dress.”
So clunky!
Maybe next time you write Who? Whom?, you could italicize it? Maybe refer to it as Lenin’s Who? Whom? That might make it more readable.
Well, it depends on one’s perspective. If you’re looking at it through a feminist, female liberation narrative she’s failing miserably. However, if you see the hijab as a means of cultural aggression – of making a claim to space formerly occupied by the core Canadian population – she’s clearly expanding the boundaries. This is why, I think, criticism of feminists for soft-pedaling Islamic misogyny misses the point – burning bras was an aggression against their fathers, gifting the West over to the third world horde is an aggression against his progeny. It’s seamless, rather than contradictory.
It’s all in how you look at these things.
Some might think that a woman in her position would push cultural boundaries a little further by taking OFF the hijab. Not that I’m an advocate for pushing cultural boundaries. But if that’s the metric, she’s not much of an achiever.
Why don’t all Left Wing Feminazis start wearing hijabs and burqas if they see it as an F you to the racist White male patriarcy establishment.
I would love to see Crooked Hildabeast and Elizabeth Warren for example wear burqas so we never have to look at their ugly faces again.
So when is the Left just going to openly say it hates Christianity and is dedicated to destroying it, using any and all allies it can?
The embrace the Left throws around every perversion to Christianity and around every religion that is not Christianity is really giving away the game here.
Traditional Catholic women should start showing up at the TV station with veils demanding equal air time.

OT, but related: Canada’s ten dollar bill will no longer feature John A MacDonald, the country’s first prime minister, but a black woman activist instead. I can see why they would do this, John MacDonald is just another dead white guy. This is Canada 2.0 after all, and we need to prove how morally superior we are to Americans.

“Black rights activist Viola Desmond, who was jailed for defiantly sitting in the “whites only” section of a Nova Scotia film house, will be the first Canadian woman to be featured on the country’s $10 bill.”
This incident occurred in 1946, when Canada was just 0.1 percent black. Though lately there’s been a lot of retconning in the media to make it appear Canada’s historical demographics were the same as the US.
What happens when clowns declare a cultural identity of their own? Maybe even a gender identity, the clown-sex.

The hijab and burqua are feminist. They prevent body competition, for the most dominant Alpha men. Even better for women, and worse for most men, is polygamy which allows the average woman looking like Lena Dunham to have a portion of a big shot, and bear his kids.
Women have incompatible and mutually exclusive sexual agendas from men. Women want polygamy, the hijab, the burqua. Its why feminists defend it, ignore brutal rape-murders such as the one in Germany of the teen daughter of the EU bureaucrat, and have hysterics over some nerd making a dongle joke or asking them for coffee in an elevator.
There IS a war of the sexes, there has been since the early 1800s at least, and Western women having given up the idea of “reforming” White men into more sexy, dominant, men (we are no longer the drinkers we were in the 19th century) have decided to replace us with Third World goat herders who might be illiterate but have the qualities (a plus for women) of being as intelligent as a rock (male intelligence being a close second to baseball statistics in a turn off for women) and stupidly aggressive.

Explain this please. I have no idea what you are talking about, or exactly how it is supposed to work.
Unless for some reason you think women value the "seed" of an Alpha male (with tight buns?), over having a monopoly on the earnings power of one baby daddy who is kind of drippy.
I guess it might be a strategy if your Alpha is also loaded and can throw beaucoup money at all his ladies. Otherwise I'm not getting it.
But how does this polygamy lust (on women's part) work in these cultures where the arrangements are all made by people besides the women (or to be fair 13 year old girls)?

One reason I watch TeeVee “news” is to stare at the women. I like the way the high-heeled hotties on the Fox News network push my cultural boundaries.
I’d like to see Saudi television import their shows.
By “pushing cultural boundaries,” they mean pushing OUR cultural boundaries. Pushing THEIR cultural boundaries would involve getting rid of the hijab. Which for some reason wouldn’t be celebrated in the New York Times.

If Canada was only 0.1% black why did film houses bother having “whites only” sections? I’m just wondering.
Halifax was the departure point for a lot of troops heading to Europe.
As in other places where a white population and a black population had to coexist, segregation was in place in NS. I imagine that there were black individuals living in the rest of Canada but no substantial populations. Most current black canadians are at most 2 generations removed from immigration and have no connection at all to what happened in NS. I used to work with a lady who was old stock black Quebecquer. A tiny community.
Apparently there was a 1 cent surcharge to sit in a 'premium' seating area… Ms. Desmond went to that area without paying, and a confrontation began as a result.
She was kicked out of the theatre as a result - and apparently her race was a factor in that… but there was no formal segregation policy or black only seating -- there just weren't enough blacks to warrant such an idea even if the malice existed. Even Ms. Davis is barely black… certainly less than 1/2
I am originally from that area and frankly I have my doubt that the situation played out as it has been portrayed. But it's difficult to know.
Not to say there haven't been and continues to be racial problems between the small black community in Nova Scotia and it's white majority. It parallels the US in many ways, more than other regions of Canada where the black community is comprised more of recent immigrants. There are constant racial issues -- and similar problems of violent crime in the black community.
Whatever the circumstances of the incident in question, the woman has zero business being on a banknote. It is unbelievable to me. Particularly when she is bumping Sir John A. MacDonald, who was a Father of Confederation…and first Prime Minister of Canada. MacDonald is arguably the most important figure in Canadian history.
It's getting insane. The powers that be really want the Anglo history of Canada *gone* -- it's just a huge inconvenience to the Liberal worldview.

This may also correspond to a freaky new ad issued by the Bank of Montreal depicting our first Prime Minster and founding father of Confederation John A. MacDonald acting deferentially in an Asian woman’s house cleaning up after her dirt. The ad is so outlandish and ludicrous that I can’t even remember what they were advertising. It’s surreal how far our cultural creators will go to denigrate our founding peoples and traditions.

Yes, if anything has become clear in the last few years it’s that “educated” White/European women find it nearly impossible to suppress their desire to scold and correct White men. The media tells them who’s the latest underdog, the latest surrogate for their unfulfilled maternal instinct, and they’re off to the races scolding and nagging “their” men to “do something!!!”. It’s too tiresome for words now.
Also in Muslims pushing cultural boundaries news:
English women of a certain bent are quite outspoken about their righteousness. They are not immune to the Bubble tractor beam that shared so many bright going things, and will not be immune to the Wall when they begin to acknowledge it.
Then there’s the other Big Lie. That in no sense have Muslim women (or this one particular) ‘pushed’ anyone or anything resulting her appearing on TV. Someone else was doing the pushing.

I watched a short segment on Bryant Gumbel’s show that featured three Punjabi Canadians who broadcast Hockey Night in Canada ( the longest running TV show anywhere) in the Punjabi language. They wear their traditional turbans on the set. The guys are total hockey freaks who happen to be Canadian born Punjabis. I also learned that Punjabi is the third most spoken language in Canada after English and French. I don’t know if the turban is as much a religious symbol as a cultural one. Help please.
Something about the Sikh turban is far less off-putting than the Muslim head scarf. It probably has something to do with the completely different behavior patterns of the two groups.
The turban is a religious requirement for Sikh men. So too is taking the name "Singh," though some Hindus have that same surname and some Sikhs take "Singh" as a middle name. What are the names of the Punjabi HNIC announcers?Replies: @Buffalo Joe
I made an unfortunate discovery in 2010, that the Sikh turban is the only religious or traditional garb exempted from TSA examination. When I first heard it, frankly I did not believe it. No idea of it is still in operation, but at the time, Sikh men were allowed to run their hands over the turban then have the hands tested for esplosives residue. WTF? Why can we ALL not do that? ESP children, babies, 90 year old Maryknoll nuns?
AND at the time, at the CAIR website, California chapter, they were agitating for the hijab, at the least, to be accorded the same "courtesy" as the turban.
Absolutely enraged me.
They sided with the British during the Indian mutiny. They are one of India's great martial castes (along with the Rajput and Gurkha's) .
They're an honorable people and tough fighters - I believe during the sex grooming scandal in Britian pakis tried to do that to a sikh girl. Let's just say they chose softer targets after that (and the pc british police turned the other way to sikh violence against muslims because it was narrative shattering)
downside is they are very much like our own martial caste, the scots irish - prone to hard drinking and hell-raising.

The turban is more religious for Sikhs, rather than cultural. It is partially because not cutting their hair is one of the five pillars of the religion. Also non-Sikh Punjabis don’t tend to wear it.

I’ve decided, in a catty way, that the reason Muslim women wear hijabs is because they have a nappy hair problem they don’t want to become common knowledge lest they lose caste. Arabs did own and screw their black slaves until recent historical times, and everyone knows the genes have drifted into the white Arab population.
I’d far prefer Sikh over Muslim immigration. They assimilate well and don’t have any chips on their shoulder. But American rednecks aren’t great at differentiating between turbans. Post-9/11, the most facepalm-worthy events have been angry whites attacking Sikhs thinking they’re Muslims.

TD, Sorry you lost your job shilling for Hillary’s campaign, but what was the future in that? Maybe one of the “Chikdren of Color”, whatever the fuck those are, will employ you as a servant. Charles Blow is not actually on my reading list so I guess I’ll just live life knowing that I resisted and was denied. I think I can live with that. By the way, your recent comments sound like the script of a dubbed over Middle Eastern action movie. Come on buddy, a resident troll needs an “A” game or you get voted off the island.
Punjabis wearing turbans are probably Sikhs. Sikhs aren’t Muslims. More like monotheistic Hindus. Sikhs have a martial reputation in part from having to defend themselves against Muslim aggressors over the centuries.
The turban is a religious requirement for Sikh men. So too is taking the name “Singh,” though some Hindus have that same surname and some Sikhs take “Singh” as a middle name. What are the names of the Punjabi HNIC announcers?
AC, Really? Ads with the French and British working together to fight the Yanks, I doubt that happened. The Indians also took sides and fought either with the British or the French, against the other colonists. I don’t know about white women fighting along side of the Indians, but I pretty sure a lot of them fought to get out from under a randy buck.Talk about distorting history to fit your agenda.

From what I can gather there were no black restrictions at the theatre.
Apparently there was a 1 cent surcharge to sit in a ‘premium’ seating area… Ms. Desmond went to that area without paying, and a confrontation began as a result.
She was kicked out of the theatre as a result – and apparently her race was a factor in that… but there was no formal segregation policy or black only seating — there just weren’t enough blacks to warrant such an idea even if the malice existed. Even Ms. Davis is barely black… certainly less than 1/2
I am originally from that area and frankly I have my doubt that the situation played out as it has been portrayed. But it’s difficult to know.
Not to say there haven’t been and continues to be racial problems between the small black community in Nova Scotia and it’s white majority. It parallels the US in many ways, more than other regions of Canada where the black community is comprised more of recent immigrants. There are constant racial issues — and similar problems of violent crime in the black community.
Whatever the circumstances of the incident in question, the woman has zero business being on a banknote. It is unbelievable to me. Particularly when she is bumping Sir John A. MacDonald, who was a Father of Confederation…and first Prime Minister of Canada. MacDonald is arguably the most important figure in Canadian history.

Seth, Thank you. That and all those forties movies about the British Empire and the Raj and all of their loyal Sikh allies, especially in battles against the Thugs or in colonial Africa against the Zulu.
As you noted, it’s how you view it. The Progs go one step at a time: first we convert everyone to Islam; then we convert Islam into what we want.
In the cast of hijab Annie, it is: first do something different, and when all the old ways are no longer in force, we will install our utopia.
The key thing they miss, as usual, is that they have almost no chance of controlling things once hijab Annie and her cohorts gain traction.
These Hollywood types are lauded for acting inasmuch as their lines are written by others–playwrights, authors, script doctors, writers. That sentiments passing their lips read as a regurgitation of the editorial page of the NYTimes merely confirms an incapacity for original thought.
fwiw, a few years ago I caught a Deutsche Welle segment on how the turban is dying out in the Sikh region, in the Punjab. So the report went, down to about 10% observance. Men glad to be rid of the hair and the turban. So much so that the sect sets up sidewalk displays and (god help us) teach-ins in an attempt to convert men back to the hair and turban. Without much success, it seemed.
I made an unfortunate discovery in 2010, that the Sikh turban is the only religious or traditional garb exempted from TSA examination. When I first heard it, frankly I did not believe it. No idea of it is still in operation, but at the time, Sikh men were allowed to run their hands over the turban then have the hands tested for esplosives residue. WTF? Why can we ALL not do that? ESP children, babies, 90 year old Maryknoll nuns?
AND at the time, at the CAIR website, California chapter, they were agitating for the hijab, at the least, to be accorded the same “courtesy” as the turban.
Absolutely enraged me.
Even at .01%, they can’t be quiet; “Shush yourself, bitch!”
and that was before cell phones.
No it did happen, the French-Canadians and Mohawks saw their chances were better under the British crown than the American eagle. It’s understandable.

Agreed. A majority of British Sikhs voted LEAVE in the Brexit referendum. Sikhs definitely have their turbans screwed on right.
Hijabis = Hurl
Sihkism is a surprisingly recent religion, 15th Century iirc.
I read up about it 20 years ago and its tenets were remarkably unobjectionable (apart from the hats)
SJWs are stuck in adolescence. A coherent worldview would be a lot to expect of a bunch of superannuated angsty teenagers.
To be fair, those rednecks were never asked if they wanted to share their country with a bunch of exotic foreigners with exotic headgear. I don’t know that the onus is on them to familiarize themselves with the manner of dress of every third-worlder who chain-migrates his way into our borders (such as they are).

It says they could win 29 seats out of 150. That means they would get less than one-fifth of the vote. That’s a miserable result.
The European nationalist parties all seem to be maxing out at around 20-25% of the vote. That’s nowhere near enough to gain power. The establishment globalist parties will simply combine to keep them out.
They need to rethink their political strategy. Focus on the economic devastation caused by globalism, as well as immigration. At the moment they’re going nowhere.
Which, sadly, is perfectly true. The American imperialism was being pushed by Roosevelt, a leftist. And his advisors, who were predominantly communists and fellow travelers.
It’s American imperialism and aggression that has spread the poison of globalism and political correctness throughout the world.
Feminism itself is a religion that degrades women.
Sikh as everyone has said. But here ‘s the non-pc part – Sikhs do not cut their hair or beards because of a pledge to not do so until every drop of muslim blood is purged from Punjab.
They sided with the British during the Indian mutiny. They are one of India’s great martial castes (along with the Rajput and Gurkha’s) .
They’re an honorable people and tough fighters – I believe during the sex grooming scandal in Britian pakis tried to do that to a sikh girl. Let’s just say they chose softer targets after that (and the pc british police turned the other way to sikh violence against muslims because it was narrative shattering)
downside is they are very much like our own martial caste, the scots irish – prone to hard drinking and hell-raising.
Women have incompatible and mutually exclusive sexual agendas from men. Women want polygamy, the hijab, the burqua. Its why feminists defend it, ignore brutal rape-murders such as the one in Germany of the teen daughter of the EU bureaucrat, and have hysterics over some nerd making a dongle joke or asking them for coffee in an elevator.
There IS a war of the sexes, there has been since the early 1800s at least, and Western women having given up the idea of "reforming" White men into more sexy, dominant, men (we are no longer the drinkers we were in the 19th century) have decided to replace us with Third World goat herders who might be illiterate but have the qualities (a plus for women) of being as intelligent as a rock (male intelligence being a close second to baseball statistics in a turn off for women) and stupidly aggressive.Replies: @theo the kraut, @Anonym, @Sunbeam, @slumber_j, @biz, @Anon
Let’s agree on one thing: Islam has absolutely bupkis to do with what women “want”. It’s about control of female reproduction in service of high status men, end of story. Women can conform or be killed.
Virtue signaling, my good Whiskey, is the main reason useful idiots proclaim inconsistent pieties. I ask you only to look at who is leading the cultural charge toward such ‘virtues’. Jewish cultural influence is pervasive even in Europe, and well on the way toward replacing Christian morality.
Stupid, aggressive zealots are a big turn on, especially those with evidence of inbreeding written into their features. Down-turned eyes, weak chins, heavy Arab jaw, low cheek bones — sexy is the only word for it. You project your hatred of white women and snivelling contempt of their intelligence onto every incoherent post. Comedic, but crap I hope no one takes you seriously.

It was some kind of Catch-22. She was willing to pay to sit down on the main floor but the policy of the theater was to sell only balcony tickets to Negroes and they refused to sell her a main floor ticket. But she sat on the main floor anyway and they prosecuted her for “tax evasion” based upon the one cent difference in the sales tax for floor tickets. The whole thing clearly had a racial angle but I’m not sure that being a victim of a minor racial indignity really qualifies her to be on the currency.
If you’ve ever been in a theater with a lot of blacks, you would understand why the white patrons didn’t want to sit with them and why the management instituted this policy in the first place. Blacks regard the theater as a sort of audience participation thing, maybe because that’s how black churches work. So they shout out to the characters on the screen, talk among themselves, munch loudly, etc. At the time it would have been regarded as common sense and good business not to alienate your main (white) customer base but from the modern perspective you are not allowed to notice that blacks are ill behaved so only horrible racism explains the policy.
Unlike the more recent black communities in Canada who are mostly from the Caribbean or Africa, in those days the small black Nova Scotia community had been there a long time – they were descended from black slaves that Loyalists took with them when they fled the US after the Revolution and also escaped American slaves who had joined up with the British during the Revolution and the War of 1812 in return for promises of freedom plus a few more who came via the Underground Railroad (after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act it was not safe to hide out in the northern US). Although it was a small (and racially mixed – you can see that Desmond was more yaller than black) community, they had all the usual pathologies of blacks, although on a smaller less violent scale. But small Nova Scotia towns of the ’40s would have had a very low threshold for deviant behavior.
