Many Canadians are shocked by the increasing cases
of sexual harassment, abuse, and overall misconduct within the RCMP or the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Unfortunately, we are not enraged enough.
Just this month another female Mountie brought
forth allegations of workplace humiliation, sexual abuse, and harassment dating
back to the 1980s. These new allegations coupled with the recently obtained
photos of an RCMP Corporal on a BDSM website provides the public with more
insight into the misogyny-drenched, so-called “old boys” culture within the
RCMP. This kind of workplace abuse and overall contempt towards female employees and
victims of male violence should rouse anger in all Canadians.
This will be my first rant post. I’m quite excited. So Roman Polanski will not be extradited – lucky him, lucky fucking rapist. From watching any of this guy’s interviews on the topic, he shows he lacks any real remorse. He seems to actually play victim, oh he was taken away from his home, and had to live in exile (my ass) this guy was living in the lap of luxury!
But, boo hoo he couldn’t accept an award he won for a film. Who gives a shit that he raped a child, right? It was SO long ago, we should just get over it, right? WRONG. What example is this setting for Hollywood? Anyone who makes a million dollars from a film can get away with sexually abusing women…yeah, really shows the privilege that these pricks in Hollywood have. Now we have Mel Gibson threatening the life of his ex wife, constantly telling her to blow him and that she’s a “fucking cunt” – but oh the media picked this up and claimed “his ex wife might be trying to get money from him!” I would hope so! I would try to get money from a prick who admitted to hitting me and breaking my teeth while I was holding a child – I would try to sue the asshole who threatened my life. I hope his career rots, I hope people stop renting his films and supporting him. I really hope this time Hollywood will wake the fuck up. I mean, we already know he’s an anti-Semite piece of shit, and Hollywood still licked his ass. What does it take? Now we know he’s a racist, misogynistic and violent sociopath – will that be enough?
What is enough for Hollywood? Really? I mean, if raping a 13 year old girl can still get you making movies and living in the lap of luxury, it really says a lot. People try to paint these stars as “average people” who get treated the same as everyone else (minus the fact that they earn unnecessary amounts of money and live with obvious privilege) This is rich, white male privilege at it’s peak – Hollywood loves it. These assholes need to be treated like anyone else would in this situation – they need to be held accountable by EVERYONE, and that means to stop supporting them.
