here is a rough translation:

Evil also has a glass ceiling

The woman who hit her son is called "Mother of the Year. She pulled her teenage son away from his stone-throwing friends in Baltimore and hit him. A few times on his head. Of course someone was filming it.

This is what good parenting looks like, you hear buzzing on the Internet. I wonder: would the response be the same if the mother was a husband, a father?

Bedpartners who practice SM arrange a codeword. When the code word sounds, the violence stops immediately. In real life, the female body functions as such code word. Once a woman appears, serious things are taken less seriously. A uniform is found to be sexy instead of authoritarianism, a gun seems an accessory. A hitting hand is no violence.

For women who exhibit violent or criminal behavior is true: there is always an element from outside that explains her behavior. She is never held entirely responsible for her own actions. The female jihadist is a recruited and enlisted bride, drug smugglers were forced by a boyfriend. The Dutch television show "Women behind bars" you can see that too. Their deeds never stand alone; there is always a story attached to it. This relational way of looking at crime seems quite fruitful, but it is striking that the actions of a woman always be placed in a broader social perspective, while the man soon as lone wolf is seen. His actions are entirely his actions. Her works are kept small - even the evil has a glass ceiling.

Who is not taken seriously, must present themselves extreme to achieve credibility. It is the law of travesty: When a man wants to convince others that he is a woman, everything is considered 'feminine' - makeup, heels, hips swaying, high voice - is magnified as much as possible. The woman must work just as hard to be criminal: when the evil is recognized in her, she must have been going far.

This mother from Baltimore hit her son. She is praised. We are amazed at her resolute and physical performance. We applaud because it surprised us. But there is something else going on: we are not surprised about his misbehavior. As if the violent rioting son is logical, of course: he is a man.

What do we talk about when we talk about an equal distribution of women and men? We are talking about equal pay and a fair distribution of the household. Never does someone say there should be as many female as male inmates. I am not advocating a female quota in prisons. But this mother of the year and her son rioting lay bare something strange: we have already given him up. And we have never believed in her.
