Patterns of oppression are interrelated and influenced by factors like race, gender, class, ability and ethnicity. Sadly, I’m never short of reasons why feminism is still necessary.

Tamest comment The fact that the comment about Alberta politician San- dra Jansen belonging in the kitchen is one of the tamest she quoted in her speech Tuesday in the Alberta legislature is one such reason. The unfortunate truth is that hateful and misogynistic comments are painfully common for women in public office. Last week, before the announcement of Jansen’s decision to cross the floor and the outpouring of vitriol related to her decision, The Metro Edmonton newspaper kicked off a series on the abuse that female politicians receive. Of course, criticism is lodged at all politicians and I don’t argue that men don’t also receive some angry letters. However, as Jansen told Metro, “If people don’t think there’s a misogynistic undertone – and I say ‘undertone’ gently – to those statements, then they’re really not based in reality. With female politicians you’re either ‘stupid’ or a Edmonton Sun ‘bitch’ or you’re both.” Sandra Jansen Death threats Rape and death threats are also a regular occurrence but this is often met with excuses like “it’s a joke,” “it’s part of being in the public eye” or “grow a thicker skin.” Cristina Sta- sia, who ran for the Alberta Party in the last election said that she would try to make a joke of it, “Oh, just let me check one more time for rape and death threats before we go to bed.” Marie Renaud, St. Albert MLA, told Metro it can be incredibly unnerving, “I had one person in particular who was sending me messages about where I was and what I was wearing, so I was pretty sure whoever it was, was watching [me].” It’s impossible to brush that off as just a joke. One of the most disappointing things is that, in 2016, things appear to be getting worse, not better.

Cook until fragrant and onion is almost clear, about 5 minutes. 3) Add apples, carrots and let it cook for another 5 minutes. (Add dry thyme, season and, if you are using dry ginger, add now). 4) Add vegetable broth, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer for 20-30 minutes (until vegetables are tender). Slowly stir in cream or milk. 5) Carefully transfer this mixture into a blender. You might need to do this in batches. (I used an immersion blender so it can be done straight from the pot). Add a pinch of nutmeg and season with salt and pepper.
