Machine translation is a little shaky, but one of most important lines got through intact enough:

It's really time that feminists realize the Westerners they actually are

One of the strangest phenomena of our times is the widespread tendency of feminists themselves with the non-West Africa and the non-white world in general, and the Muslim world (of all things!) Associate. Gay activists sometimes siding attached. Prague's website we've been introduced to two loud ex-South Africans who settled in the Netherlands and who apparently will defend anything under the sun if yet only white, male or Christian.

In the last few decades there arose a strong collective discourse that women, non-whites, non-Christians, homosexuals and disabled all under the cloak of wronged. Of course, this discourse a strong boost with the emergence of deconstruction, which is a convenient vocabulary created the One and the Other. Although this school of thought some academic legitimacy - eg. A far-reaching influence on African literature also lends itself to a tremendous bogus intellektulisme.

All who lives now think they make a huge statement as they "stand up" for some oppressed by showing how "open" for the "Other". In practice they usually choose a "safe", ie legitimate politically correct targets. Examples are legion. Journalists Christi van der Westhuizen and Hannelie Booyens know that they will be published as they Dan Roodt, Africans, the church, the USA, capitalism and take on all the other usual suspects , the usual leftist praises sing.

'Of course it's much easier to system endlessly about "Calvinism" than to ask the question why baby rape is a cultural phenomenon among the black population groups Leftist feminists conveniently avoid real threats to women. We find eg. that a proper feministies criticism on President Jacob Zuma and his crude patriarchal practices sparkle in his absence. Personally, I would think it would be a priority to make mincemeat of a veelwywer violent rape and in whose language there is not even a word for this crime existed before the arrival of Europeans. Not even his charming habit of children to all women who cross his path, to come up.

Of course it is much easier to endlessly system of "Calvinism" than to ask the question why baby rape is a cultural phenomenon among the black population groups. Oddly enough, there is a great reluctance to tackle Islam. International sees something similar. Earlier this year, there was a storm at David Cameron's head broke because he opposed an emotional colored member of the Labour the offending words dare say: "My dear, please calm down." What a gross violation of human rights! Stalin would have been jealous! Of course it is a lot easier to take the half burlesque Cameron as the Ayatollah of Iran or the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. This fall the world's media for Putin on his withdrawal of explicit gay rights, while gay people in Zimbabwe are murdered and black lesbians in townships to "corrective rape" issue.

'... It's really time that feminists realize the Westerns they actually are I obviously little sympathy for Cameron and I agree one hundred percent with Putin's position. However, there is more than just a double standard involved in this phenomenon. Leftist feminists have become so accustomed to the privileges that the first wave feminism (I speak here of the eighteenth century thinkers up to the suffragettes and bepleiters for female education) brought that they forget that it itself is a product of the Western Enlightenment, which in turn has its roots in Christian humanism (a unique appreciation of the value of all human beings before God). Of course, there are other traditions that are compatible with what we today understand women's rights, but it is really time that feminists realize the Westerns they actually are. It is a privilege to live in a culture where such statements not only be tolerated, but seriously discussed.

If one nice to see, it is clear that feminism arose in the countries that have a knightly tradition his cult of had vroueverheerliking, ie Western Europe. See eg. the quote from Goethe, Das Forever Weibliche Zieht uns hinan , or: "The ever-female lift up our" Dan Roodt's article of August 9 . The first wave of feminism that arose, therefore achieve what it wanted, namely basic reverdige opportunities for women, to such an extent that ideas in the 1890s were considered radical for granted today. Simone de Beauvoir's ideas today outdated occur, a proof of how it has been normalized. Europe and many of the ideas were considered revolutionary in South Africa commonplace. As Dan Roodt also points out, female land ownership something doodgewoons in the Dutch-African tradition. While Jane Austen had to worry about the possible loss of her home, it was not for African Women is a problem.

Other than that to be believed, it is precisely pioneer communities more receptive to strong women, because a merciless environment it is essential to recognize the contributions. It is an equal myth that conservative Western cultures of misoginie soaked. If one looks, conservative parties have a better record with female leadership as left-wing parties. Apart from figures such as Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir, there are more successful women in the Republican party as the Democrats of the United States. Even more feminists with the 2008 election was a major triumph overlooked. If they for a moment stop squeal about Obama, they would have seen that it is truly remarkable is that the lower-class Republican (the proverbial blue collar-American) completely prepared for a woman, Sarah Palin, to vote. And without his very own particular merits, and without being exposed to a course on "gender theory". Like the African man during the Depression able to vote for a female mayor.

No culture is one hundred percent perfect, and neither are African institutions. However, there are few groups who should be held accountable for their sins like the Afrikaner, and it is now time for them out the beskuldigingdebank. It might be an interesting exercise to Simone de Beauvoir's Le deuxième sexe (The second generation) to read and see how the position of whites, and especially men, consistent with the state of the woman according to de Beauvoir's famous feminist found.

One big mistake made by feminists, they immediately associate with the leftist project. I am convinced that this is where the stereotypical feminist comes from. I stand under correction, but Hanoi Jane (Fonda), the feminist rather seen as a legitimate intelektueel, part of Euopese sophistication, a discourse to which the thinking man also could participate. (I have a friend with a HNP background including a Virginia Woolf expert). This is how I had always thought of feminism, and I have to express my disappointment representation of the behavior of the French intelektueel Hélène Cixous. I will never read her. (This is but the French for you: when you associate with the best of them, amazed people with their worst).

What is particularly offensive about contemporary feminism, the forced association with the Third World, socialism and even criminality. If feminism has a future, joined by him rather to the right position and the real problems. The first step would be to acknowledge to Western civilization that gave birth to it, and the white men who recognize the value of women and protection.

Furthermore, there is still room for feminism, but that this is Africa and the Middle East who need it. In the West, but live as academic discourse, and phenomena such as Fifty Shades of nonsense critique. Or better, let them ask how Women's Day is celebrated as a raped plattelanse woman and could be on fire without a temper tantrum welling up in our country. Hélène Cixous may philosophical name, but for me, it Sunette Bridges actually deal with political integrity.
