The fact that the reporter genuinely doesn’t believe that he lied to get this article out just boggles the mind. You’re straight. How is that not getting through your thick skull?!

Canadian women are your country’s major contribution to the world, imo. I’ve never met a Canadian woman that’s not worthy of worship.

Penny Oleksiak is fucking on fire this week! And she’s only 16! She’s going to totally dominate in Tokyo.

I’m with you, I think that the article draws an important distinction between a woman who both chooses to wear a hijab and has the talent to make the olympics without any special waivers, and a woman who is willing to wear a hijab to be in the olympics even if that is not her personal choice on a day to day basis.…

Like everywhere else on the internet, many people here comment without reading the article or just to shoe horn a preconception.

And they have openly-gay Mark Tewksbury doing a lot of commentary/analysis: https://twitter.com/CBCOlympics/st…

CBC has had great coverage this year AND a male commentator lamenting the lack of women coaching Olympic level swimming, but this kind of makes me want to switch channels.

Some of the twitter takes are pretty damn hilarious. What an amazing, breathtaking performance!

How could you miss out Lin and the Rock singing ‘Gaston’ with expert posing by the Rock. For shame Evans!

Yeah, I remember Michael Phelps’ coach getting all the credit for his medals. Oh, wait...

Men who throw/hit/kick things when they’re angry scare the shit out of me. All I can imagine is being alone in a room with someone like that, and how I would feel if they lost their temper.

I agree the motives are suspect but I’m not sure it requires that any of these men protesting actually think they have an issue of aggression of violence against women. To be clear, they may well and just not think so, but I think this is more indicative of the ridiculous men’s rights type backlash we’re seeing on…

But IS IT??? **THIS** is political correctness run amuck. Most of us learn fairly young that treating 2 groups exactly the same doesn’t necessarily mean that you are treating both groups fairly. Even as a dude who is a decade and a half removed from my twenties, I know that guys that age aren’t gonna leave a woman…

You’re aware that the majority of those soy beans are used to feed cattle, right?

SLAAAAAAAAAY kween with that proper usage of the word ‘Myriad’ So many people write, “a myriad” but not Renee, because she is the true goddess.

Counterpoint:

Any man who would oppose safe spaces for women probably has a lot to hide. Sure technically these spaces may be illegal but any decent man would understand why they need to exist and wouldn’t be against them. This isn’t about equality. It’s about safety. Women need to be protected from men. As long as men continue to…

The hundreds of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls in Canada are an example of this. Just now we are finally getting a government inquiry into why so many have died, after years of having newspapers, police and politicians stay silent.

We all know that (white) feminism has, both historically and currently, a problem when it comes to race. It larelgy fails to address the interplay of racism and sexism in our culture—both in terms of their interaction between black women and black men and white people in general, but more specifically, white women, as…
