Menstruating at the Mosqueteria: my first piece in Taki’s Magazine

July 18, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

I was flattered to be asked to write for Taki’s Magazine last week. (And, yeah, seeing my byline alongside Sailer’s and Derb’s is a bit bizarre.)

Here’s my first article:

As they might say on The Simpsons, the Toronto District School Board turned into the Taliban so slowly, I hardly noticed. Apparently, neither did Theocracy Finder General Margaret Atwood. (I guess she’s been too busy campaigning—unsuccessfully—to keep the country’s first “conservative” TV network off the air.)

Hell, even the Toronto District School Board didn’t notice, or else it would have been forced to charge itself with violating its own policy against “gender-based discrimination.”
