I just received this message from Raine Northumberland. Tj, as one of the admins for Feminist Edmonton, Im letting you know that youve been removed from the group. Youve exhibited an alarming pattern of behaviour that conflicts with our mission to keep FE a safe(r) space. This has to do with reports weve received about you not taking No for an answer as well as your racist posts, ableist posts, and your pedophilia joke. She already removed me as a Facebook friend because I made a joke a while ago in which I said that if Korean pop star, PSY, married Margaret Cho, he should take her last name. This incensed Raine. She called it ableist, and she said that I was inconsiderate towards her because it triggered memories of her ex-boyfriend who used to call her a psycho. As for the racist posts, Ive made none. Regarding my pedophilia joke, it was a joke, and it didnt, in any way, promote pedophilia. Heres the joke, so that people can judge its offensiveness: A guy I know came home from work to find his girlfriend packing some bags. Whats going on? Where are you going? I heard that youre a pedophile, and I think thats disgusting, so Im leaving you. Hmm, thats a pretty big word for a nine year old.
