Wow. You go to Banff for a choral workshop for one weekend and it seems like ‘all the news’ happens while you are away. Meghan Murphy has been busy on the Feminist Current detailing the latest assault on Feminism led by – completely shocked here – Transactivists (read Male

Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Examining the Contradictions in Trans Activist Ideology
Ryan T. Anderson discussing what he sees as some of the contradictions in the methodology of Transactivists. Read the full piece here. (Note – Not particularly fond of the source – The Daily Signal (via the Heritage Foundation) in the US – but the arguments presented are worth examining.)
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The DWR Feminist Quote/Rant of the Day – If Transwomen were actually Women…
I’m so very lucky to have such a sharp feminist commentariate here at DWR (thanks for leaving this comment, Meg). Along with the informative nuanced discussion, gems like this crop up and are too good not be shared. Can I get a ‘society doesn’t give two shits about your special
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Women Chased Off Twitter for Speaking Their Minds – Vonny Leclerc
Yep. Another casuality that can be directly attributed to transactivism (also Patriarchy 2.0). This is what happens when women won’t go along with male delusion and commit the blasphemous crime of speaking in a particular way: with facts that are congruent with observable, material, reality. I hope Vonny and Glosswitch
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Truth is Not Hate – How Accusations of Transphobia Silence Female Voices
If there is anything that will enrage men more is women speaking out against their view of the world. The first class citizens get mighty mad when the second class start challenging their assertions and interpretations of the world. This post delves into the war of words that is currently
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The Trans Madness in Canada and the Feminist Opposition – Meghan Murphy
Oh, just shaking my head at this one. Watch the trans identified male dig a nice hole for himself as he debates with Meghan Murphy and other gender critical feminists. I have laws enshrined in society now that protects my male delusions of gender, fear me female! Of course, cue
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Pithy Quotes on Gender
The great part is that you (genderists) really can’t. It’s like well women are like this and this in society (insert toxic gender role here) and men are like this in society (insert toxic gender role)… You see, if your touchstones for your ‘gender identity’ are the fucking patriarchal approved
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Funny How that Works – Meghan Murphy on Female Spaces
Men really need to stop trying to make feminism about them.
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: What is a Woman?
Pretty much every conversation I’ve had with people who, when it comes to basic biological facts, decide it necessary to jump through tortured hoops to evade this simple question. Is there a more clear example of men trying to impose their version of reality on the world? We cannot change
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Transactivism at its Finest – The Blood Root Restaurant Debacle
The Bloodroot is a small vegan restaurant. Their crime? Having the absolute gall and audacity to state – in a feminist space no less – that they believe in supporting women born women. It is enough of a transgression to bring the trans-hoarde along with the usual threats, cyberbullying, and
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The Notion of “Gender Identity” is Antithetical to Feminist Analysis – Megan Murphy
Meghan Murphy is one of Canada’s leading Feminists. This quote is from her article – “Thanks to trans activism, 2017 saw a return to old-school, sexist dismissals of women and women’s rights.” Definitely worth your time to go and peruse the entire article. What I would like to focus

How can one tell when men have well and truly infiltrated 3rd wave feminism? When you invite a dude to speak at your Woman’s March who is advocate for the sex industry while concomitantly blocking feminists who are fighting for female liberation. I can fucking smell the inclusivity a mile
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Imagine if Male Genitals Were Treated like Female Genitals
Looking through the eyes of another and trying to understand their point of view is an important skill to foster in one’s intellectual development. Understanding that your experiences are not necessarily the experiences of others and then learning from them can really enhance your critical thinking skills and ability to
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Now Why Would “progressive gender legislation” enshrine Patriarchal Values?
I keep waiting to hear all the amazing goodness that is coming from this ‘gender revolution’ yet you look at it and it the same misogyny as the old misogyny, and would you look at that, even the gender-crew realizes that being male is the only way to personhood in
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: It’s Females who Have Gender Dysphoria!
This is a next level comment on a thread from a post on The Feminist Current titled “If trans activists truly cared about feminism, they would respect women’s spaces”. Simple no? It’s hard to argue with the tagline, although in the comment section the TRA (trans rights activists) are certainly
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The Importance of Women’s Libraries – Teaching Feminism and Raising Consciousness
The Vancouver Women’s Library has withstood the siege of entitled males. The need for female only spaces in our society cannot be understated. Women need a place to share their stories and communicate with each other away from male expectations and the male gaze. When I speak with younger women,

A little dark and shameful bit of Canada’s history – (from wikipedia) “The École Polytechnique massacre, also known as the Montreal massacre, was a mass shooting at the École Polytechnique in Montreal, Quebec, Canada that occurred on December 6, 1989. Twenty-five-year-old Marc Lépine, armed with a rifle and a

The experience of being female in society, and thus second class always seems like such a mysterious and vague concept to the menfolk. Time to witness the otherside of the coin, dudes and perhaps start to understand that the experience you’re having is *not* the same for the half the
