Thread. For #InternationalWomensDay we asked our members WHY they joined us:
"I saw women's rights being eroded in Canada in front of my eyes. I found myself asking 'Where is a women's group in Canada who is standing up for women?' I'm happy caWsbar is filling this huge need."
"I saw women's rights being eroded in Canada in front of my eyes. I found myself asking 'Where is a women's group in Canada who is standing up for women?' I'm happy caWsbar is filling this huge need."
"I joined caWsbar because I was horrified to learn that women can no longer say no to those born male in our sex-segregated spaces such as shelters, safe houses, change rooms, etc - if those individuals now identify as women."
"I started to feel isolated because the media, politicians & even schools began insisting we accept that men can become women, and attacking women who wouldn't comply. We need to join a group like caWsbar, to push for our rights with the combined strength of every member."
"I joined caWsbar because of the free pass the government gave to rape hounds and diddlers to continue violating girls & women. Anyone who supports this is a f*cking Goof!"
"I helped found caWsbar because I realized I was connecting with women elsewhere, but there wasn't a Canuck group. The FACT caWsbar grew from the ashes showed me we have purpose, courage, and an amazing voice that can do wonders. We don't have to be alone. I'm forever grateful."
"I joined CaWsbar because I believe Canadian leaders & institutions must be held accountable for making decisions that have undermined women's interests & children's health. This cowardice has led to the current dark era where women have lost privacy, sporting awards, and...
...even words to describe ourselves. Most concerning is children being told that perhaps they were born in the wrong body. These troubling trends will not heal until we are willing to join together across political and philosophical tribes, [&] pool our talents and resources."
"I joined because I realized, with horror, that with the passage of bill C-16 half the population of Canada lost our Charter-protected freedom of expression, conscience and association. I now live in a country where men legally control women's speech and behavior."
"I joined caWsbar because after bill c-16 was passed I started to notice really insane things being said by people, like trans women are women & they have every right & privilege to women’s safe spaces, like bathrooms, changing rooms, rape shelters, women’s prison...
... and they get to join us in women’s sports, women can not do anything without them being included and if we dare try, we get angry mobs trying to shut us down...I joined to be a part of something that could maybe change or even make a difference to stop all this madness."
"44 years after riding on the Women's Liberation parade float, I was despairing over how our 'Why Not?' slogan had suddenly become 'What the Hell?' Enter caWsbar, stage right! This second gen feminist is back on board - I have grandkids to protect from this madness, now!"
"I saw girls I love reject themselves & science to be overtaken by a fantasy that promises to resolve their pain. I discovered laws & policies were changed through obfuscation and manipulation that are at direct odds with my rights. I joined caWsbar & am ready to defend women."
"I joined caWsbar to find sanity in a world gone mad. Outraged at gender identity lessons in my daughter’s classroom, I began researching the origins & discovered a much larger global agenda to make the western world believe trans ideology is ‘normal’...
...at the expense of children’s rights/identities, women’s rights/identities, and even LGB rights/identities. Even straight men are harassed for rejecting trans women, so everyone’s rights are being trampled by a group consisting of less than 1% of people. Insanity."
"I joined cawsbar as in Canada women are no longer able to define ourselves as a sex. This means all women's rights to single sex spaces like prisons, rape refuge, bath and changing rooms, sports, sex based statistics etc. are being eroded...
...Most Canadian women's organisations do not stand up for women's rights anymore and I am very grateful caWsbar has been formed by women for women's rights."
