Where females fear to tread: a report from Sweden
2017-03-04
The DailyMail UK, of course, has plenty of images to go with this. Go take a look.
Heartrending. There are no polite words for the politicians and all those polite people who work so hard to cover this up.
I didn't come to Sweden for the riots. Or because of Trump. In fact, I was supposed to be here in December — before airline strikes stood in my way.

I came because I was asked. Repeatedly.

Swedish women reaching out by email, by letter, to quietly show me what has become of their country.

#10  Indeed, just about all card-carrying congregants of organised, capitalised Feminism go very demure and ladylike when real, political Islam pops up in its throbbing, hairy physicality. Grotesquely, stereotypically woo-woo and feelzy, even, at least in front of cameras. Damned disappointing to us who like the taste of equality Kool-Aid.

And speaking of the author... I wouldn't have known her from Adam a year ago, either, but such a crush I have.

Sure, Hopkins is always a lady,
But will she stay sexy at eighty,
Like Faye, say, or Beatty
(but maybe less weighty)?
You bet I'll be waiting, eh, Katie!

Blush.

#9  Anon1, I've never heard any feminists speak out against Islamic treatment of women. I have heard women that speak out against Islamic treatment of women be ostracized by the left.

If it happens it gets zero play in the MSM, but I seriously doubt it happens..

#8  #6 Newsflash: we're never going back. That's what's bullsh*t.

I recommend you read Karl Popper's The Poverty of Historisism. I'll summarize it for you. Those who think they know what the future holds, blind themselves both to what can happen and what is happening.

#7  incorrect, grom. Women are entitled to an equal and fair shot at jobs, and if they are able to do them then they are entitled to be hired. And we are entitled to be paid equal amounts for equal work, and we are never going back.

And the fact that you would excuse the real villains: Islamists and multiculturalists

while blaming something else you want to attack that has nothing to do with the real problem here tells me 2 things:

1) you are unwilling to let the free market and higher wages sort out the declining birth rate without government-dictated mass migration, and

2) you are unwilling to blame religion. Now why is this when religion is the problem, namely Islam?

I say this second reason is because religious people in the west will blame ANY thing other than religion including Islam

because they think that if they blame Islam the secular will win again

and they think Islam showed them a good example of how religion can claw back the power it lost to the secularists in the last 50 years

so they don't actually hate the head-chopping, crucifying islamists, they open the door for them in order to get what they want: a return to power for the church in the West and an expulsion of equal rights for women

I think it's just evil to tell a lie myself, and to deny equal rights to people based on a physical characteristic over which they have no control is wicked and wrong.

If people have equal talent and ability they have to have equal access to the labor market.

It is the societies that DON'T do this that collapse, and that is why their teeming starving millions are flooding in here and all we need to do is maintain our borders and turn them back

And if we need Israel-style conscription in order to do that, then I'm happy for that and I'll be the happiest conscriptee.

#6  Newsflash: we're never going back. That's what's bullsh*t.

Don't know much history do you? And women are going back, because - at present - there are lots of women in jobs (from school teachers to university professors) to which they are less suited than the men who used to hold these jobs in the past. So, either the western societies fix this, or go under.

#5  no, grom. Multiculturalists decided that instead of simply defending the borders that they would try to grow the population with migration

and culture be damned.

you know what is to blame? the people who wanted migration to make a quick economic boom and import cheap labor: instead of simply living with a stable or declining population and letting it correct itself naturally.

Nothing to do with feminists unless you think it's a great idea to chain women to their reproductive capacity and/or take away their right to equality. Newsflash: we're never going back. That's what's bullsh*t.

The people who opened up the borders did so because they wanted population increase through migration for economic reasons.

Trying to shift the blame where it is not due is just like the people who say the lastest Islamist attack is because of "mental illness"

1) it lets the real culpret off the hook,

2) it's a lie, and

3) it ensures that the same mistake goes on being made and is never addressed.

#4  I agree with Grins Snese4215, anon1. I'm afraid that the current wave of feminism is less interested in women than in things like

Then, as now, I felt that white heterosexual cis women’s faces were those that typically represented anti-rape advocacy, perhaps to the detriment of the broader movement -- women of color, trans women and queer women may hesitate to get involved where they do not see themselves reflected, and cis and trans men may struggle to find a place in the movement.

...written by a "black queer feminist intellectual activist" who also happens to be a male sociology professor. Women such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Nonie Darwish are rejected by such modern "feminists", who also reject the idea that females by definition were born with two X chromosomes and a uterus.

#3  You are saying that there are good feminists. You are certainly right about that. But are there bad feminists also?
Are there people who denounce anyone who says something they dislike as a racist and homophobe and islamophobe?
You probably think they are phonies and Democrats, which is probably true.
But they are the poster children for feminism today mostly because they refuse to be ignored.

#2  B*llshit anon1. It's job of men to protect their women and children. Feminists castrated "western man", so Korananimals can run free.

#1  it really annoys me when people blame "feminists" for silencing people like this 27-year-old

It is not and never has been "feminists" this is just an ugly way for some conservatives to try to turn back the clock to 1950 and has nothing to do with the situation.

This problem is caused by mass migration and "multiculturalists" not feminists

feminists have nothing to do with it. I see so many women speaking out against this and they are never supported or given air time by Milo or Gavin McInnes

when was the last time they hosted any of the following women (from both left and right) who speak out against Islamofascism:

Homa Arjomand, Maryam Namazie, Asra Nomani, Raheel Raza, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Sarah Haider, Pamela Geller, Brigitte Gabrielle, Nonie Darwish, Anne-Marie Waters

all of these women are "feminists"

ALL of them have worked hard against the Islamists.

So i'm sick of hearing that shit.
