A new manifesto from the German Green Party aims to banish macho men for good

I always find the irony behind these political parties ridiculously funny. They're so obsessed and blind about their agenda that they start treating women as if they were handicapped children needing special treatment in order to achieve something. In the end they are the most sexist parties in the spectrum (discriminating both, men and women).

Ah "Die Grünen", probably Germany's most sexist party. Don't believe me? Check this out.

For list base elections, half of the places on that lists have to go to women. But for the other half, women can candidate as well. All women lists are possible.
During meetings, women and men have to speek alternately. If there are no female speekers anymore, it has to be decided if the discussion continues. (All woman speakers wouldn't be a problem - thanks for finding it braax)
Women get a special veto-right. That means if a majority of women is against a certain topic, this topic has to be skipped till the next meeting.
The women's quote of paid jobs in the party has ** at least ** to be 50%
Special training courses for women only
A special women only conference
Special women's boards to coordinate women's policitcs

Given the fact that the Green Parties slogan was "Women to the top" ( http://www.gruene-hessen.de/cms/media/67/67099.frauen_nach_oben.jpg ) I am without a doubt sceptic about everything "equality" related from this party.

I'll try to find out if German MRAs have an opinion on the original article.

Gender equality does not involve turning men into women

You are not born a man, you are turned into one.

I don't know about you, but the last time I checked I was born a man - in fact they took a little off top :D

What's ironic is that probably half of those German women cream themselves every time a grease drenched turkish immigrant with a gold medallion on his chest and a knife sticking out of his back pocket walks past.

This sounds RIPE for a fight club to form.

Proving once again that socialism, communism, environmentalism, feminism are the same thing.

Sounds kinda good actually

The signatories include several Green politicians from the European parliament, the German Bundestag as well as local Green leaders. "We no longer want to be macho," it declares, "we want to be people. You are not born a man, you are turned into one."

The men's manifesto makes two main points. First, men need to break out of their traditional gender roles. "We need a new awareness of a new masculinity," write its co-authors Sven Lehmann and Jan Philipp Albrecht. Second, they argue that their fellow men need to realize that real equality will not happen without their participation.

Hey downvoters...whats so bad about the statement I quoted, sounds almost like MRM stuff.
