November 11, 2011 No Comments

Someone is stealing women’s panties and sex toys in New Brunswick. In Saint-Paul and Sainte-Marie, women’s undergarments along with sex toys have been stolen from houses and a clothesline.

Remember The Things We Most Want To Forget

November 11, 2011 No Comments

On this Remembrance Day, we take a moment to consider the fallen. We think about the young soldiers that will never return home, but also the children that will grow up missing a parent’s love, the wives that live in constant fear and the husbands who are ashamed that they cry themselves to sleep every ...

I  recently came across a post in which a man relayed the transcript of an argument a young married couple were having in a Burger King. It can be found on storify, a website “to make stories using social media.” Make of that what you will. The post gives a detailed account with commentary of the quarelling  newlyweds and ...

Marriage Is Dead

Marriage Is Dead

November 10, 2011 3 Comments

There was no shortage of debate in the latter half of the 20th century over the relevance of marriage. The freedoms women campaigned for — wage equality, childcare — were based on the idea of autonomy. The right not to marry was a key freedom. Thanks to previous generations, I’m not required to define myself ...

Things I Learned About A Boyfriend While Playing Pictionary (And More)

November 9, 2011 No Comments

When philosophizing about bad relationships, particularly abusive relationships, we often discuss the “signs.” It is theorized that as women, we’re socialized to be pleasing and self-sacrificing, which leads us to ignore the red flags that are present in unhealthy relationships. Some go as far as suggesting that we ignore these signs because we’re fixated on ...

Meet Buddy and Pedro. They are two adorable little penguins at the Toronto Zoo. They also happen to be gay lovers.

Gay tourism in Vancouver has been banned for Chinese marketing campaigns. An agreement between the Chinese and British Columbia authorities was apparently made last year but details were only released before a recent trade envoy trip to China and were hidden away within a 60 page document. The document stipulated that, along with gambling, gay ...

Extreme Animal Lovin’ Causes Cancer

Apparently there is more than one way to be an animal lover. The term usually refers to someone who, plain and simple, loves animals. Each day I do whatever I can to enrich the life of my kitty, whether it means petting, cuddling or playing with him. Like an animal rights activist or someone who ...
