It is fascinating to see the mission creep of some activists in recent Canadian history.

In the 1970s, violence against women was seen to include acts such as punching and shoving and shooting and such.

By the 1980s, in the wake of the Montreal Massacre, spoken words were added to the list, and violence against women was placed on a spectrum where men who raised their voice in anger, or who ever used pejorative words to refer to a woman, were included among those guilty of violence against women.

Fast forward to 2017, and now violence against women is to include supporting having restrictions against abortion on demand.

Perhaps by the year 2030 we can look forward to having violence against women include not having gender quotas in government, leaving the toilet seat up, and forgetting anniversaries.

That is not a rude or inappropriate comment. Activists are rendering the term "violence" MEANINGLESS with their endless mission creep. Stop it. Use the word violence for VIOLENCE.
