“We were very disappointed to see the sign come up, and that’s not a new thing in our city,” said Teresa MacLennan, executive director of the Women and Children’s Shelter of Barrie .“But we’re surprised, and we’re shocked because we thought we had made more progress in terms of talking about the rights of women and trying to knock down the misogyny that continues to exist everywhere.”
“It is not acceptable in this modern age that we are continuing to sexualize young girls and that the misogyny continues.” The Queens Hotel and Queens Nightclub co-owner told Global News that it removed the sign outside the building “out of respect” after a person called to complain, but said the event is going ahead as scheduled.
“I totally understand the ladies are talking about rape culture, things like that, and they have every right. You need to protect the women in society, but then let’s go after everybody, not just one establishment,” Terrard said. Terrard said that the event is one that the club’s previous owners had run in the past, and that it was female staff members’ idea to bring back.
