Who’s Angry?

Insufferable Twits 89 Comments

This story alarmed me so that I checked my books to be sure;

HALIFAX (CP) – Joanne Hussey says Prime Minister Stephen Harper owes her 29 cents – the amount of money, for every dollar, that Canadian women earn less than men.
It’s the message behind a campaign she and four other Halifax women have started, setting up a website and distributing pins and postcards to argue funding cuts to Status of Women Canada will only maintain that disparity.

Well, as far as I can tell, everything’s in order. Despite living openly as a female, my customers seem to have been paying 100 cents on the dollar. Now, if we could just throw a little salt on the advocacy industry leeches, women like me might be able to keep a little more of it.
Kathy Shaidle concurs;

Mediocre people favour “equality” because they aren’t strong, smart or taleted enough to take full advantage of freedom. Not only are their weaknesses not my problem, but I resent having to suffer just to make life nicer for them. Women Are Angry don’t see the elementary irony of their position: they’re complaining, falsely, that women earn less money than men — and want to campaign for the elimination of this imaginary injustice by taking MY money away from me, by force of law, through taxation.
And they wonder why some men still treat us like dummies.

You can contact these angry women here. Be sure to tell them you’re angry!

Here’s another useful site for angry women to send their support. And there’s lots of pink, so we know it’s just for us gals!

  1. Maybe with that 29 cents she could have gotten a web designer course 🙂 BTW we are glad you are living openly as a female.

  2. ok…i have checked with my wife, my mother, my 3 daughters, my four sisters, my 2 sisters in law, my mother in law and my 10 female cousins…..not one of them is mad at PMSH…as a matter of fact, most of them are quite happy….monthly cheque to help with daycare(they all gave up on waiting for the librano promised spots), can write off kid’s sports, reduction in GST, standing up to human rights abusers, protecting women in afghanistan…

  3. For a true leftist, equality in the eyes of the law means nothing. They want economic eqiality. We all know what that means, right Uncle Joe?
    On a close topic, have you seen any of those lame UN commercials promtin “whilred peas” on TV where the lion is chasing a zebra and then suddenly they break out into a game of soccer? What the heck is the lion supposed to eat for dinner? The soccer ball? I suppose the ball is made from hemp too. Anyone care to take a guess on how much oil-for-food millions were sepnt on this crap?

  4. Stephen should pay her the 29cents , its a great price for a “nice big cup of shut the f… up”

  5. Ironically, they are “entirely funded by its founding members”. They seem proud of that, yet don’t think the Status of Women Canada group should be the same.

  6. Well, if they’re angry, they must be right eh? In today’s culture, hurt feelings is the best evidence of rectitude, right?
    Minor quibble on Kathys remark:
    they’re complaining, falsely, that women earn less money than men
    That in fact is not a false claim; per capita earnings for women across the work force are indeed lower than those of men.
    However, their conclusion that it’s a result of systemic discrimation is certainly incorrect. Rather, it’s a result of various cultural factors such as voluntary time out from more advanced studies or career advancement for child-rearing etc.
    But of course many of these women think it’s unjust that they, and not men, have a uterus.

  7. I’ll give this deadbeat $.29 when she gets herself killed in a coal mine.
    Men work (on average)more hours per day on the job, take less vacation, take less leaves, die younger and account for 98 percent of workplace deaths.
    If the roles were reversed, these same idiots would be going (even more) mental (than they already are) and demading to be compensated for the extra they put in. I guess they’d ask for $.29, eh?

  8. e-mail wouldn’t go thru, so I phoned and told them I am an angry woman, angry at women like that homewrecker BS and groups like hers trying to tell me I should be angry. Also said the best thing was cancellation of the PIGS and CCP. I think I might have used some of my 3rd language. They hung up. We should tie up their telephone lines with go to hell comments. For their info, teachers in AB make the same money regardless of sex or sexual orientation. So do grocery clerks, doctors and any other service jobs. These women should look at the deductions on their paystubs to see why take home pay may appear less. Its the tax bracket you are in, and if you pay union dues, other benefits and most important hours worked. Time for men to get angry. Are any of those idiots married. I will pay her .29 if she will go faaaaaaaaar away. Hans Island would be a good place.

  9. Kathy Shaidle is absolutely on the money.
    I noted today that “It is an unequivocal truth that Utopias cannot be created without imposing tyranny.”
    Those ‘higher beings’ always tend to become ‘lower beings’ in their attempt to impose old and failed values.

  10. I sent them an email explaining how angry I was as well. I also told them to try to equalize the education system too while they’re at it. Wouldn’t want one child getting a higher mark than another now would we?

  12. No doubt upon hearing this news, employers across Canada will fire all their male staff and replace them with females to do exactly the same jobs since doing so will lead to a savings of almost one-third in labour costs.
    Right?

  13. MaryT:
    I think you’ve got the right idea, don’t let fool leftists arrogantly usurp your gender and speak as if for all women. Let them know they don’t speak for women and that you’re offended. It’s about time Conservatives used the foul tools of the left back against them, ie shouting them down, tying up their tools of business, etc. That combined with Conservative rational thought (ie what does the cancelling of sow have to do with women supposedly earning 29 cents less than men?) would be a deadly combination.

  14. I guess they didn’t see this story over at CTV:
    “More than 50% of women hold purse strings: study”
    “The report found that women are involved in making the day-to-day financial decisions in the household, with 55 per cent taking on the role of primary decision maker and 37 per cent as the shared decision makers.
    The influence was even greater with women who were mothers, as 96 per cent of them held responsibility for household financial management, said the report on Canadian female consumers, prepared for MasterCard Canada by Environics Research Group.”
    Therefore, shouldn’t men be outraged that these downtrodden women have such influence over the inequitable pay men bring home? (Using this thewomenareangry group’s logic)

  15. You don’t suppose that the women are getting paid in Canadian dollars and the men in US dollars, do you? That would explain about half the difference.
    The cartoon of a wailing baby depicts these women perfectly.

  16. At first I thought the website was some sort of parody. It isn’t.
    Feminists suffer from certain uncomplimentary sterotypes and this won’t help.

  17. My two bits, e-mailed today:
    Yawn…. how boring…. how predictable… how socialist. Who the hell do you think you are? “Stephen Harper owes me…” you really mean Canadian taxpayers owe you a better standard of living than you’re either capable of or are willing to earn, don’t you?
    I’ve been very happily married to a woman (how conventional) for more than twenty years and she’s not angry – she’s happy too. Perhaps that’s because she went out and made her own way in the world. Too many people, whether it’s those in the middle east or Canada’s feminists, are too busy being angry, seething, resentful and pathetic to achieve their inherent potential.
    You are what you are. Either be self-reliant and brave enough to make the changes necessary for a fulfilling life, or accept your circumstances. Quit trying to get the rest of us to say “poor dears” and offer you a standard of living to which you’re not entitled. Here’s a little quote you might try to live by:
    “If it is to be, it’s up to me”.

  18. Kate; Congratulations on openly living as an *independent* woman, capable of showing the world what these so-called feminists really are. Would that the media showcase the viewpoints of individuals like yourself!

  19. Sometimes you’ve got to wonder at the stupidity of people… I sent an email:
    Dear Angry Women,
    It must be nice to have the luxury of protesting your inequality in the work force… What a load of BULLSHIT!!
    Get off your ass if your angry, and get a better job.
    I need sales reps, and I don’t care if your male, female, she-male, a hermaphrodite, or a monkey that can wear a sign around it’s neck saying “Buy this!!”.
    As long as your alive, and have a SIN number, your hired!!
    I don’t discriminate against women… I pay them the same as men, and I work them just as hard.
    I pay base plus commission, plus benefits.
    Get in the game, drive out to Alberta, or shut the fuck-up.

  23. I guess in my case, my husband would like to have the $.29. I make more than double what he does – and I don’t hear him complaining! These women do not speak for me either – they should put their $.71 to better use than whining, paying for buttons and websites.

  25. PM Harper is exactly right, we now have equality of opportunity. That these wymen didn’t take advantage of their opportunities or chose to not take that high paying, but dangerous/cold/difficult job is not the fault of men. What they want is equality of results, which requires a large cadre of “advocates” such as themselves to ensure that everything is equal. The gravy train has stopped ladies. Perhaps you should have taken engineering or business in college instead of women’s studies or herstory.

  27. Women live longer and enjoy a retirement that averages twice as long as a man’s. Actuarially, women should pay a double pension contribution, but they do not. Why don’t they get angry about that?

  29. If these women can tell me exactly what Status Of Women does, what great accomplishments it has achieved, what great strides have been made over the last 20 years that is solely attributed to this program, I will gladly send them $.30.
    I am happy to hear that some of the cuts end funding to women organizations to lobby. Always felt it was insane for a government to give money to organizations….to lobby the government.
    Anyhow…the whole idea that they feel they are “owed” says just about all that is needed to be said.

  30. I think we need a new acronym for these whiners!C’mon kids,put your heads together and let’s play.Just off top of my head,I’m thinkin we could refer to any of these complaints as a “STRONACH”

  31. Funny how this thing started in the welfare state of the Maritimes. They are entitled, you know. Nothing scares a welfare bum worse than the threat of being cut off from the government tit. (BTW, I am an ex-Maritime welfare bum)

  32. Too bad they don’t publish the e-mails received, I mean all of them, not the one or two in favor of them. A few years ago, the teachers in our area went on strike. Set up a hot line in Lethbridge, at a fancy hotel, which was not even in the same school district. I and another friend phoned every 2 hours, as shift changes occured. She would call and make a comment, call me and I would then call on same comment. The main issue was the women were short changed re UI benefits when taking maternity leave. They wanted the school boards to make up the difference from UI to regular paycheck. This issue was so stupid, as they didn’t know that the more they received as wages, or makeup pay, the lower their EI pymts would be. It took my friend and I four days to get the hotline shut down, and that issue off the table in 2 days. Our first question was, Does the ATA support paying teachers for sex. Shock, what are you talking about reaction, and we said, in order to get pregnant one has to have sex, and you want to have our school board pay for sex, isn’t there a bad word for women who get paid for sex. Working in 2 hour shifts from 8-8 gave us ample time to make several calls/day. Of course we also repeated it to those on the picket line, and anywhere the topic come up. Issue gone. Next we asked where the teachers lived, did they have kids in school etc. Most lived in Lethbridge and worked in the surrounding area. Our question, are you saying the education in rural alberta is substandard to cities so you refuse to allow your kids to be educated by those of you on strike. Also asked how they expected more money when they were responsible for denying our boards the per/student fee for the 100 students from K-12 they refused to put in our system. These ?s were asked of every person we called. Once we both got the same teacher and were asked, do all residents of our district think the same, we said yes. Strike over in 2 weeks. Teachers lost 200.00/day and gained a .50/day raise plus strike pay of 50.00/day. My point is that we can make a difference if we put our mind to it, so call that number often, block your number, and say you are angry at them not the government. Give an example of men being discriminated against, read a joke, just keep those lines busy.
    My next joke for them is: they have just invented a device to make cars run quieter, and it fits right over her mouth.

  33. So after 13 years of loony Liberal rule,it’s Stephen Harper’s fault that these feminists don’t earn as much as they feel entitled to?
    If you can’t get what you think you deserve in 13 years,that’s the definition of failure and your funding rightfully should be terminated.
    Go get a real job and quit wasting everybody’s time.

  34. What in the wide, wide world of feminism is going on with these chicks? Get out there, girlies, and show em what you got(behind the hair, makeup, wonderbra, Botox, etc, etc). A few brains, a lot of confidence, attitude and a good nights sleep will get you where you want to go in life if you want it bad enough. Life is waaaaaaaaay too short to complain–go to it ladies. It ain’t gonna be easy but you’ll have peace in knowing you did it your way.

  35. a few yrs back a friend of mine in a ont gov’t office rec’d a tidy lumpsum from the ontario govt’, she told me about it & i asked why did she get that, SHE replied that it was to bring her up to a equal pay standard as the men in the same office doing the same job.
    that was roughly 10-12yrs ago
    she now runs the office
    In todays business world you can achieve the highest goals if you work hard, regardless if you are a man or a women.
    There are many major corporations that have women running them now.
    We are not in the 1900’s, we are not in the bra burning 60’s anymore,
    Remember the ad
    You’ve come along way baby.

  36. Last I checked the fee codes I’m paid by had absolutely no means of distinguishing gender, race, sexual orientation or age. If you do the work you get the pay. If not . . .

  37. I don’t believe that these stupid, ignoramuses truly believe that we are all going to get on their bandwagon??????what a bunch of BS……where I have worked, if you do the same work you get paid the same,

  38. Defend Canada – the blogrolls I have now slow down the site loading too much as it is, so I’ve made the decision a long time ago to leave it as was.

  39. Just noticed the name of the woman who started this crap-HUSSEY. Isn’t that a bad name for a woman.

  40. Although your intentions maybe honourable your desired outcome will not be achieved.
    It is initiatives like this that give women a bad name. You are acting like high school drop-outs. I am a respected woman in my field and equally paid, because I demand it! I research any new job and ensure I am paid exactly what the men are. I perform like a woman (which I am very proud of) and bring a lot to the boardroom table. I am respected by my male counterparts. I am a good volunteer and have several great support systems to draw from. I’ve been given several awards for my hard work and represent the top 2% of women wage earners in Canada. I got there by being kind, steadfast, relentlessly polite on issues and present myself in a professional determined fashion. I have raised 2 children whom also participate in society and life in general. Proudly married for 30 years and gain much joy from my grand-daughter. What we need are more women to work with more women in a positive fashion. Your site doesn’t appear to deliver on that issue.
    I feel sorry for you (organizers) — no wonder you are having difficulty.
    Women aren’t angry!
    Change the tone or your will attract nothing but harshness from all.
    For shame. Be proud to be a woman! I know I am. Why aren’t you? There are only five short stages in a woman’s life. Birth, menstruation, child birth, menopause and death. Life is a journey so enjoy the ride. It’s what you do in between that counts. Make your actions count and be a positive force not a negative one. Darn, I thought this blog site may have been great opportunity to network. Darn, darn, darn … what a waste!
    I would like to wish you well — but how can I when you derail the fundamental principles I try to immolate?

  41. Now THIS is inequality.
    From the CBC website today:
    The richest one per cent of adults own 40 per cent of the world’s household wealth, while half the world shares barely one per cent, said a report released Tuesday.
    The study released by the Helsinki-based World Institute for Development Economics Research, part of the United Nations University, emphasizes the continuing disparity between rich and poor.
    ‘Income inequality has been rising for the past 20 to 25 years and we think that is true for inequality in the distribution of wealth.’
    -Canadian economist James Davies, an author of the reportIt took more than $500,000 US to be among the richest one per cent of adults in the world, according to the report. The richest 10 per cent of adults needed $61,000 US in assets — defined as the value of physical and financial assets less debts.
    In contrast, 50 per cent of the adults in the world owned barely one per cent of the household wealth.
    The bulk of the wealthiest adults are concentrated in North America, Europe and Japan, the researchers said. For example, North America accounted for only six per cent of the world’s adults, but held 34 per cent of its household wealth.
    “Income inequality has been rising for the past 20 to 25 years and we think that is true for inequality in the distribution of wealth,” said James Davies, one of the report’s authors and a professor of economics at the University of Western Ontario.
    “There is a whole group of problems in developing countries that make it difficult for people to build up assets, which are important, since life is so precarious,” Davies said.
    Canadians averaged $70,916 US in assets
    Canada’s net worth per capita came in at $70,916 US, putting it just ahead of Denmark.
    Average net worth in the United States amounted to $143,867 per person in 2000, while it reached $180,837 in Japan.
    At the bottom end of the scale were Ethiopia with per-capita wealth of $193 and Congo at $180.
    Global household wealth amounted to $125 trillion in 2000, roughly three times value of total global production, or $20,500 per person.

  43. So what happened,Harper’s first announcement when he became PM was all females will immediately have a 29% pay decrease enforced on them?
    This is beyond being funny,now its just pathetic.
    And Ezra Levant was on Adler,(i know,there was nothing else on),bringing up Dion’s duel citizenship.Ezra said if it was Harper with dual-citizenship the media would be dumping on him.
    First caller said Ezra was an idiot for even bringing it up,its a non-issue.Adler asks him what if it was Harper with dual citizenship and he starts calling Harper names and saying it was not acceptable.
    I think these feminists and Liberal voters are now not even hiding their double-standard for Conservatives versus Libs/Dippers.
    And watch for more of Duhlinda Stronach talking about this crap

  44. According to the SOW website, from March 2005 to March 2006 they spent $11,068,299 to:
    – generate 5 reports
    – and distribute another $11,268,852 in grants
    Your tax dollars at work.

  45. Belinda Stronach the hypocrite whose daddy’s company Magna has exactly zero women on it’s board of directors.
    Why don’t these angry sow’s protest that?

  46. My grandmother was one of the top real estate agents in Toronto and that was decades ago. These women are bitter. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re the women asking for handouts that I pass by every day on my way to school.

  48. Looks like we already paid her. Many times over.

    Always instructive to see how these people make their money. Every single person quoted in that Macleans article personally benefitted from the program.
    And everyone quoted in the article either works for or has done work for Dalhousie University. It’s three women quoted in the article and they all know each other! The article make it sound like the two websites are independent and based on actual women anger.
    This is why cutting programs is hard. You get all these so-called activists who actually personally benefit from the current programs raising a stink each time. With an unquestioning media, you get an article by Macleans that completely misses the real story. And that Macleans story, you can read it in almost every Canadian paper across the country. http://www.google.ca/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-28,GGLD:en&q=Joanne+Hussey

  49. Kate; you have talent, brains and looks. Is it fair to expect these 71cent Husseys to compete with you?
