Genesis information

Thanks for listening to this week's edition of Genesis on CJAM 99.1 FM.

Kate and Melanie talked about:

World AIDS day
Click here for more information on HIV AIDS. Just as a clarification, when we spoke about HIV transferring through all bodily fluids, we were speaking in reference to fluids exchanged during sexual activity, either male or female, as well as bloood. HIV is not spread through saliva.

We also talked about the December 6th Memorial, happening this coming Sunday at the CAW Centre on the University of Windsor Campus at 4pm. The screening of the film Polytechnique will happen Friday, December 4th at MacDonald Hall on the University of Windsor campus. Please come out and support these events and help stop violence against women.

We also chatted about Windsor proposing controversial legislation to regulate "body rub" parlours in the city. City officials have proposed opening and closing times that parlour proprietors say will drastically cut their business. However, they support legislation that regulates and legitimizes their businesses. Other contested parts of the proposed rules involve whether or not security cameras will be allowed in the rooms for the protection of workers, and whether or not clients and workers will be allowed to be completely naked. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. For more information, check out the article from the Windsor Star.

Finally, we talked briefly about the former Miss Argentina, Solange Magnano, who died after complications from plastic surgery and how this speaks to the oppressive beauty standards that women face. More on that story here:
