Men are simply not allowed to complain. We are immediately ridiculed when we do
It's genetic.
Thanks for providing proof for my argument gerryh
ROFLMFAO..... not allowed to complain? That's all you and your fellow millennials do. Whine and complain. That's all you've been doing this last page.
And no one listens. That's the point
One woman go's missing and we open a federal inquiry
I have solid proof to back what I'm saying.
Boy Children are kidnapped to be soldiers every day. No one says a thing. A small group of girls is kidnapped it makes world wide news.
Its genetically ingrained in us to no give a fu€k about men

So there is no equality. There never will be any equality, it's all horse $hit
A woman feminist who studies at Ottawa U brought all this to the attention of other fellow feminists a few years ago. She got banned from the campus.
They shouted at her and called her a self hating woman for even saying these things.

'You're headed home' - US turning away Canadians at the border

‘You’re headed home’: U.S. border agents turned away Canadians hoping to go to Women’s March
The plan was simple. Montrealer Sasha Dyck and some friends would drive to Washington to join the Women’s March. But when the six Canadians and two French nationals reached the border at Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, in Quebec, they ran into trouble.
U.S. border agents asked what they planned to do in the United States. “We said we were going to the Women’s March on Saturday and they said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to pull over,’ ” Dyck told the Guardian. Agents then searched their car and examined their cellphones, according to Dyck. Each member of the group was fingerprinted and had their pictures taken.
Finally, after two hours, the agents told Dyck and his friends to turn around. “They said, ‘You’re headed home today,’ ” Dyck told the Guardian. Officials warned that they’d be arrested if they tried to cross at a different spot this weekend, Dyck said. “And that was it, they didn’t give a lot of justification.”
The two French citizens were told that they’d now need a visa if they wanted to enter the United States. French and British citizens can enter the United States without a visa if they apply for clearance through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization. But if your ESTA application is denied, or if you’re turned away at the border, you’re required to have a visa to enter the country in the future.
Dyck says he has traveled to the United States before without incident. In 2009, he drove to D.C. for Barack Obama’s inauguration. When he crossed into New York, Dyck said, the agent gave him a high-five.
Other travellers reported similar struggles this weekend.
British national Joe Kroese and a Canadian were turned away from the same border crossing on Thursday as they traveled with two American friends.
Kroese, 23, was asked by an American border agent why he was traveling to the United States. He told guards that his friends planned to attend the Women’s March, though they hadn’t worked out all their plans yet. At that point, Kroese and the Canadian were fingerprinted, photographed and denied entry. Agents allegedly told them it was because they wanted to attend a “potentially violent rally,” according to Kroese.
Although the two Americans were granted entry, agents told Kroese, who is studying at McGill University, that he’ll now need a visa to travel across the border. The Canadian was told not to try to cross into the United States again for a couple of months.
Montreal resident Joseph Decunha said he was also turned away on Thursday. A border agent asked for his political views, Decunha told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.” The first thing he asked us point blank is, ‘Are you anti- or pro-Trump?’ ” he said.
He was then fingerprinted and photographed. “They told me I was being denied entry for administrative reasons. According to the agent, my traveling to the United States for the purpose of protesting didn’t constitute a valid reason to cross,” Decunha said. The guards also asked why he disapproved of Trump, whether he’d ever visited the Middle East, and whether Dechunha believed in violence.
“I’ve never been denied entry at any border crossing before. I have no criminal record. I’ve never done anything illegal in Canada or in any other country,” Decunha said. “It felt like, if we had been pro-Trump, we would have absolutely been allowed entry.”
In a statement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that they don’t discuss individual cases. But they said border officers have the discretion to deny entry for a variety of reasons, including improper travel documents, interest in participating in prohibited activities, smuggling of contraband or prohibited goods and a history of criminal activity or immigration.
“We recognize that there is an important balance to strike between securing our borders while facilitating the high volume of legitimate trade and travel that crosses our borders every day, and we strive to achieve that balance and show the world that the United States is a welcoming nation,” spokesperson Carlos A. Diaz wrote.
About a million people cross into the United States from 330 land, air and sea ports around the country each day. On average, just 600 people – less than 1 percent – are denied access daily, according to Customs and Border Protection, for “a varied list of reasons that include prohibited activities or intent as well as national security concerns.”

Re: 'You're headed home' - US turning away Canadians at the border
something they had every right to do. Canadians do not have any inherent "right" to enter into any Country besides our own. The Americans can refuse anyone entry for any or for no reason. Period. End of discussion.

Amen. Besides that, the poster felt it necessary to open an brand new topic on a subject that I already posted in the correct topic which is the Women's March. Just makes you shake your head, don't it.

Re: 'You're headed home' - US turning away Canadians at the border
Gerry, howyou doin? Is it or would it be the same to deny transgressions like the one in question to unfold where Canada was the exercising power/authority.
Would we get away with it?
The CBC should denounce these women as soon as possaible.
We can't enrage TRUMP.

Re: 'You're headed home' - US turning away Canadians at the border
You sound like you heard that in person. I got turned back because I had General Delivery rather than the land location where I hung my hat. Far as I know you can still do that as far as having an address that lets you cross national borders.
You had a chance to voice you're opinion about raising a generation of snowflakes and you said nothing. Fairly hypocritical of you of bashing the younger generation for becoming exactly what you're generation made them out to be.
felt awkward getting a participation trophy, every time.
Just the way I felt. Can't really explain why.

Really? Well then, I am just going to have to clean up my act.
