Fascinating tweets about JY’s waxing case. Read here. (cont. thread 2)

Just saw this: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7389349/Canadian-single-dad-faces-human-rights-complaint-asking-babysitters-gender.html
A man is suing another man who didn't go through with booking him as a babysitter when he found out he was a man. The interesting thing is that essentially the same case has already been litigated all the way to the Canadian Supreme Court

"This is also not the first time Crynowski has filed such a claim. In a similar case back on May 23, 2014, he attempted to claim discrimination in relation to a mother’s advertisement seeking a babysitter for her five-year-old son.
When Crynowski replied to the ad, he was told that the woman was looking for a female sitter.
He filed the complaint two days later, and the case went all the way to the Canadian Supreme Court until it was dismissed in May this year."

Its bizarre that the Alberta human rights tribunal would allow this person to essentially take the same case that has already been decided except for the defendant having the same sex as him this time.

Surely the babysitting case should have set a precedent for the JY case, if someone is allowed to refuse to receive services based on sex surely someone should be allowed to refuse to give services based on sex.

Well that's a step in the right direction, at least. Now it's 'just' the racism, vexatious litigation, and oh er, oh yes! the paedophilia.

Good God (that's from an atheist) WTFF? Those screenshots, thanks (but not) Girl are obscene. Fucken creepy rock spider (there's an Aussie phrase folks) muthafucker. Bear in mind we have some of the most poisonous spiders in the world here, so a designation of spider says a whole bloody lot. It's quite interesting isn't it that every society/nation have their own derogatory slang for pedophiles, I'm just aware of English speaking countries here, imagine how many there are worldwide.

Yeah imagine, the vast majority of the planet do not except that shit, yet Twitter continues to allow the map accounts and their defenders...

JY is an absolute buffoon, would be laughed out of court. Although Canada? As for the "love is love" promoting sock puppets? Good grief the worst example of sock puppets I've ever witnessed. Undoubtedly Mama Bates will be blamed...

@Jux Nanaimo bars are ridiculously sweet and taste nowhere near as nice as millionaires shortbread, just don’t want you to be in for as much a disappointment as I was ;)

it is an unlikely pairing, isn't it?

Confused, that would be great, thank you! (I will make graham crackers one day, but my small town doesn't stock the flour and I'm loth to look to the internet as if I do that I might as well just get the crackers.... )

Sorry for the slight derail. Let's get back to the serious stuff.

Sounds like there is a grudging entente cordiale developing between MN and the Farmers.

Mumsnetters passing on recipe tips from KiwiFarms???
I really have seen it all now!

Jessica Rumpel is talking to the farmers right now if anyone has any pertinent questions they would like to ask her.

They're 🙄

I've got a BBC Good Food recipe for Nanaimo bars if you'd like it Jux. It uses digestive biscuits instead of Graham crackers (if you're UK based). A friend made them and there delicious! Happy to share it

One of those JY threads has a lot of food talk! There is a recipe for nanaimo bars which I'd really like to make (I think I might not use "tard cum", I think that might be substituted by custard?), but it calls for Graham Crackers, so I'm going to have to make those first. So today, my quest - should I care to accept it - is to find Graham Flour.......

And then there's this talk of KD, which is 'just' macaroni cheese, but the true experience of KD requires the actual KD product......

So much to think about even without the worry about women's rights and pervs perving. KF is a true example of the gift which keeps on giving.

Not to mention, extremely entertaining.

DH, back in the day, said this internet thing isn't going to go anywhere

I said similar about iPhones. Why would you want a phone that can do all those things a computer can do? What's the point? How silly!

Re Kiwi farms - there's a lot about JY and it can be an interesting site to dip into. But enjoy your trip. Don't waste it on JY!

Not directly JY but kind of adjacent to this whole thing is a timely reminder of how vulnerable women are when providing intimate services are and how few repercussions there are for men

Our town planning committee turned down a planning application for an internet café on the grounds that "it was just a phase everyone was going through, like CB radio"!

I did that too "What on earth would people want to be connnected 24/7 for anyway I said, that's ridiculous, who would do that?" Back in 2000ish. How little we knew.

Oh dear.

Oh I do. Believe me he's NEVER going to live that one down.
