Tough choice

This ...

is Eva-Britt Svensson ... not Kafka’s pin-up but a Swedish Member of the European Parliament who serves on the Committee on Women’s Gender and Equality Rights.  The Committee is seeking a Europe-wide ban on advertising which features exiguously dressed women possessed of that quality once known as “it”.

Today Ms Svensson is reported to have said:-

“Gender stereotyping in advertising straitjackets women, men, girls and boys by restricting individuals to predetermined and artificial roles that are often degrading, humiliating and dumbed down for both sexes.”

“Gender stereotyping in advertising is one of several factors that have a big influence in efforts to make society more gender equal. When women and men are portrayed in a stereotypical way the consequence may be that it becomes difficult in other contexts to see women and men’s resources and abilities.”

And this ...

is Eva Herzigová pictured out of her straitjacket.  Miss Herzigová‘s “resources and abilities” include making such observations as:-

“History is the key to everything: politics, religion, even fashion.”

So be honest now.  Which of these statements would you prefer to discuss?  With the speaker in person, of course.

What role did Jewish or Jewish-controlled money play in influencing the Swedes to set up the Committee on Women’s Gender and Equality Rights which this lesbian heads?  That’s my only question.

Jewish or Jewish-controlled NGO money counts, such as Soros’ of course (whose Jewish NGO tentacles are all over Europe), or Ford Foundation money that gets disbursed in the service of evil by Jewish administrators at Ford.

Let me get this straight. Sweden, the country that invented the porno movie, is now worried about gender stereotyping.

Guessedworker,

The model in the picture isn’t Eva Herzigová but Adriana Sklena?íková (now Adriana Karembeu).  Adriana is a deranged BCL, and so a bad example here.  I suggest you replace her picture with Eva’s ASAP.

I defer to your superior knowledge in these matters, JR.  They both look extremely appealing to me.

Hope I’ve got it right now.

Some women have unnatural levels of male hormone which they fail to give positive expression to. If you combine this trait with a level of stupidity that does not allow you to understand the difference between “equal” and “identical” the result is a feminist.

Some have rightfully complained of a ‘porno-fication’ of culture, but then when I see some judeo-feminist egalitarianist complain about it I suddenly realize it really isn’t such a bad thing since depictions of Attractiveness in advertising utterly destroy feminists claims ‘we are all equal, we are all equally attractive, assimilate into the Borg multi-cult Collective now…”

P.S. anyone see any advertising for Alyssa Milanos new show yet????  wink

I wonder — Could the femininity deficit American girls are said to suffer from, which is so regretted by Birch and has resulted in his preferring Chinese girls, have anything to do with people like “Twisty the America Feminist” telling U.S. girls and women stuff like this:

My position is that the construct recognized as ‘femininity’ represents the dominant social order’s successful attempt to otherize an entire class of people for the purpose of oppressing them. Because feminization is among the first steps taken to socialize children, and because it is so readily accepted, deeply internalized, and staunchly defended, it is the primary foundation of patriarchy.

“... many Western women have privilege enough to repudiate femininity ... My crazy idea is that they should if they can, because women cannot be liberated from men’s oppression until we are de-otherized.”

More sanity from the usual alliance of militant lesbians, homos, Jewish academics, and assorted Euro degenerates and complete assholes, ring-led of course by (fill in the blank) ______ .)  (And no, the date on this piece was not April 1, though I admit I did look, just to make sure):

Publishers and universities are outlawing dozens of seemingly innocuous words in case they cause offence.  Banned phrases on the list, which was originally drawn up by sociologists, include “Old Masters,” which has been used for centuries to refer to great painters — almost all of whom were in fact male.  It is claimed that the term discriminates against women and should be replaced by “classic artists.”

The list of banned words was written by the British Sociological Association (BSA), whose members include dozens of professors, lecturers and researchers.  [Scroob note:  How many of them are Jewish?  Putting “Jewish” in front of the term “Sociology professor” is as like putting “wet” in front of the term “water.”]  The list of allegedly racist words includes “immigrants,” “developing nations” and “black,” while so-called “disablist” terms include “patient,” “the elderly” and “special needs.”  It comes after one council outlawed the allegedly sexist phrase “man on the street,” and another banned staff from saying “brainstorm” in case it offended people with epilepsy.

[...] Prof Frank Furedi, a sociologist at the University of Kent, said he was shocked when he saw the extent of the list and how readily academics had accepted it.  “I was genuinely taken aback when I discovered that the term ‘Chinese Whisper’ was offensive because of its apparently racist connotations.  I was moved to despair when I found out that one of my favourite words, ‘civilised,’ ought not be used by a culturally sensitive author because of its alleged racist implications.”

[...] The list of banned words is now sent out to prospective authors by Policy Press, a publisher of social science books and journals based at the University of Bristol, but is also used in many academic institutions.  The University of Bristol’s School for Policy Studies recommends the guidelines to help students “challenge heterosexist assumptions,” and they are included in a “toolkit” to combat institutional racism included on the University of Leeds’ website.  King’s College London says they “may provide a good starting point” and Liverpool John Moores University provides a link to them in its students’ guide.  The Open University said they are an “appropriate source of reference and advice” for students.  Napier University in Edinburgh says the list is “well worth looking at,” while the University of East London advises its students they should “attempt to incorporate” it.  Even a secondary school in Norwich includes a link to the list on its website, with the statement:  “Students may care to consider how far we inadvertently reproduce inaccurate sexist assumptions in the language we use, both written and spoken.”

The list of racist terms features “black,” which “can be used in a racist sense” and should be changed to “black peoples” or “black communities.”  “Immigrants” is said to have “racist overtones” because of its association with “immigration legislation,” while “developing nations” — intended as a more sensitive replacement for “Third World” — is “prejudical” because it implies a comparison with developed countries.

Although not included on the Policy Press list, the BSA warns authors against using “civilisation” because of its “racist overtones that derive from a colonialist perception of the world.”

Among the “sexist” terms to be avoided are “seminal” and “disseminate” because they are derived from the word semen and supposedly imply a male-dominated view of the world.  Authors are also told to “avoid using medical labels” when writing about disabled people as this “may promote a view of them as patients.”  In addition, the list says “special needs” should be changed to “additional needs,” “patient” to “person” and “the elderly” to “older people.”  “Able-bodied person” should be replaced with “non-disabled person,” it is claimed.

I defy anyone to read that through without seriously asking himself if it’s an April Fools’ joke, and looking to check the date of publication.  That was exactly what I did in the middle of reading it (near the beginning of reading it in fact).

The people actually coming up with this stuff, inventing it, are clowns of course, but not the ones pretending to take them seriously who continually give them applause, encouragement, and platforms in the press and elsewhere so that they are assured of commanding the public’s attention.  The ones doing that are very sober, serious men, know exactly what they’re doing, and certainly aren’t clowns; anything but.  They’re formidable foes, in fact — what’s known in this case as mortal civilizational enemies.  Oh, and they’re not ghostly miasmas.  They’re very real, very palpable flesh-and-blood beings with very real, fully mapped-out agendas.
