"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
It’s ridiculous.
Better that our politicians be broken down by sex, rather than by drugs!
Canada ping (if this database isn’t totally broken).
Best wishes, John
As this helps. What's the symbol for pant suit? What about men in kilts? Also, they said “gender” not “sex” — that leaves a lot more possibilities open. What's the symbol for pre-op male-to-female transsexual? (On second thought, I don't want to know.)
“Why does the Elections Canada Web site deem it necessary to offer a feature that breaks down each riding’s candidates by gender? (They throw in a couple stick figures, one wearing a skirt, one wearing pants, just in case we’re truly confused.) For one thing, even the weakest-minded of us should be able to figure out for ourselves whether a candidate has two X chromosomes or not.”
Normally you can tell yourself, but then you have NDP candidates....
I would tend to call it sexist. Why should gender be part of the information needed to decide who to vote for? Are they going to put racial background and religion up there too next time?
