Women in the News - Part Two

From the Scottish National Museum of Modern Art: Magritte's only "shaped" painting. The note on the wall included Magritte's statement that he thought this picture of a woman reduced to her most forbidden feature would "create a sensation."

In this week of the 30th anniversary of the vicious assault on innocent women at l'Ecole Polytechnique, a few other stories about women are also worthy of note.

From the Globe and Mail: "In Canada, 72 per cent of senior-age women reported they were highly satisfied living alone." 

Other than 72 per cent of senior-age men, is anyone surprised by this?  

In other news, victims of the century's most prolific and successful child molester are speaking up for themselves.

One thing: the media should stop referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a "financier" or a "disgraced financier." He was a con man, a pimp, a pedophile and a convicted sex offender. He preyed on children for pleasure, profit and access to swanky friends like Prince Andrew. He wasn't a financier any more than P.T. Barnum was a social scientist.

When I'm not stewing in decades worth of suppressed anger from relentless, unceasing and still astonishingly tolerated violence against women, I'm counting the days to when I no longer will say "I work for the Ontario government."

There are ten left.
