This is not exactly a news (it's from late March) but it was something very big in Italy, and I supposed you don't know about it, so I decided to give you some info from the world.
Parliamone Sabato was a saturday talk show on RAI network (Italian public radio & TV service) with the female host Paola Perego. On March 18th, during the show they talked about how ideal woman and wife should be, and they showed a slide they found online, with a list of the reasons why an east european wife is better than an italian wife. (you can find my translation of the list at the end of this post) And they discussed about it with the show guests.
I watched the part when they talked about it on YouTube, and honestly I thought it was funny and obviously harmless, they mostly laughed about it and told some jokes, but other women didn't think the same. Immediately the feminist shitstorm exploded everywhere, especially online, complaining about how it was sexist and unacceptable. I'm not sure about their exact opinion on the sexism, someone said it objectified the east european women, someone said it was offensive toward the italian ones. Anyway, the day after, the leaders of the network appeared on public television to apologize, and they said they agreed it was sexist and monstrous, but it was all the talk-show host fault.
Obviously, the feminists were not happy. They demanded justice. I remember other women writing on Facebook shit like: they should press charge against the male guests in the show.
I flamed with these people for a couple of days on the social network, it was really crazy, everyone ranted about it. The day after, Laura Boldrini, an high-level state official and a woman, said: It's unacceptable, women have been portrayed as domestic pets.
That day (3.20.2017) the show has been canceled indefinitely. The female host of the talk show and her troupe (85% women, I want to point out the irony) got fired. And then the feminists were happy. Another great accomplishment for feminism.
Obviously the vast majority of the media, the government and the people on the social networks celebrated the event.
My translation for the accused slide:
The reasons you should chose a woman from east-europe:
1) Everyone of them become a mom, but they always recover a perfect body.
2) They are sexy all the time. No trucksuit or pajamas.
3) They can forgive you if you cheat on them
4) They allow their man to lead
5) They are stunning homemakers, since they were little girl
6) They don't whine, they are not clingy, they never pout.
Well, if those italian women wanted to proof they don't whine either, I think they failed.
