HumorHow do Canadians tell the day of the week without a calendar?
Posted March 28, 2025 by Maplefields in Women

Here are 3 jokes.

  1. How do Canadians tell the day of the week without a calendar?

    • according to Trump’s schedule:
      • Thursday: no news. Trump is golfing.
      • Friday: tariffs on.
      • Saturday: tariffs paused.
      • Sunday: no news. Trump is golfing.
      • Monday: new tariff threat with new propaganda.
  2. (Old joke from 2024) The News reported that the city of Ottawa (Canada) was experiencing a rat infestation.

    • Commenter: yes, we knew that already! They’re all sitting on Parliament Hill.
  3. The News reported that the US was experiencing an egg shortage.

    • Commenter: duh. That’s because all your chickens are in Congress, and they’re too cowardly to do their job.

Edit:

  1. (Variation on joke 1)
    • person A: omg. I go to sleep stressed every day wondering what I’m going to hear on the news the next day.
    • person B: chill. Tomorrow’s Thursday. You can relax. You won’t hear any news. It’s Trump’s golfing day.

I agree. Talking about intersex people or people with AIS in the context of gender is harmful and cruel. Now that I've read this chapter, I have the language for participating in conversations about intersex people. I won't though, because the LGBT cult doesn't allow conversation, but I would be ready.

I haven't looked, but I wonder if that later materials at the end of this edition talk about "lady brains" and our wider brain diversity in genes expressed from the X chromosome. The research was just beginning. We need more research into the female body, but I guess anyone reading this book already knows that.

I appreciate how she started this chapter with an argument between a man and a woman, then revealed that it was about her parents, and the effect it had on her. She's very good at balancing dialogue, interviews, and expository passages.

It's really a shame how so much of the inclusivity movement has started with good intentions (body positivity, intersex VSD* language, mental and sexual health awareness) and it's all become something so stifling and unproductive.

I have the original that was published in 1999 and downloaded the 2014. This chapter is like night and day between the two books.

I really hate how Gender Ideology has seeped into the things I love best: books.

So far the Mystery genre umbrella hasn't been effected, yet. But Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Horror definitely has because it's speculative fiction. It's malleable enough for the insertion. There has been a certain amount of frequency of writers going into Trans subs asking for information.

Interesting, what are some of the differences (seems like a lot!) between the two versions?
