"No, feminists aren’t scared to write about the Cologne attacks" - Writes article blaming white Western men and white supremacy for the Cologne attacks, also implying the only reason Western men are outraged is because they wanted to rape those women themselves

I like how she starts right off the top by admitting that she has an over-inflated ego and that being evenhanded towards men is something she only does begrudgingly, when backed into a corner. At least she's honest about being an asshole.

This fuzziness was my initial reason for not wading in.

O really? A feminist not wanting to get mixed up in false rape accusations? Well that's a first.

nearly a dozen other men have been arrested on charges of robbery

Pray tell, miss Ego, where any of these the white Western men you seek to condemn by virtue of their gender? Funny how you "don't want to talk about" that in detail. Also, they were just robbers? Not sexual assaulters? Wow, so now you're being a voice of reason and not the typical Western feminist who backs women who say they were triple-penetrated when a man accidentally brushed up against them? I guess it's really hard to accept that the vile hatred you spew at men could be construed as, you know, a hate movement when directed against any particular group of minorities other than simply "men."

where the person most likely to kill a woman is her intimate partner

Cupcake, just wait until we have the female draft. I'll walk up to you, with mud on your face in the trenches, as you stand over the dead and mutilated bodies of your feminist cohorts fighting for their right to vote for the first time ever, and ask you if you'd rather prefer to take your chances with your husband.

They wanted me to say what they wanted to hear: that Muslims are uniquely sexist, and that letting in refugees from Muslim-majority countries

No honey, they wanted to back you into a corner with your anti-male bigotry and watch you try to wiggle yourself out of it, with your endless rationalization a as you try to avoid applying your theories in a consistent manner that would ultimately result in being exposed as a racist. Funny how you try so hard to avoid looking like a racist, when it only serves to make you look even more like the man-hating hypocrite that you are.

this is not the framing in which any reasonable conversation about women’s rights can happen

We get it. You can't maintain the narrative of a rich white Patriarchy when it's consistently poor, uneducated, bottom-of-the-barrel men who commit crimes, frequently against far more privileged women. That would mean you'd have to admit that these men need help to be rise out of their condition, which is a distraction from your regular narrative about setting aside quotas for female CEOs and firefighters.

the terms are too vague: is the problem Muslims (all one billion of them)? Or men from specific countries? Or just “brown men” or “foreigners”? Without identifying the problem, there is little hope of a solution.

Ah, but it's okay to blame all men, all 3-4 billion of them, and in particular white Western men who you see as an enemy in spite of the fact that they're not the ones doing this.

you rape our women, and you’re taking over our country

And this hits too close to home for every feminist. That's why you blame all men, especially all white men, but have such a hard time showing this same level of bigotry towards groups that make it all too obvious what your ploy is.

it’s that the targets of their misogyny belong to someone else

It's that their targets are Germans, who live in and pay taxes in Germany, who agreed to host these refugees on their own dime, and who deserve to be treated s little better by their guests. They aren't women who "belong" to white men, as you disingenuously suggest, they are German citizens who belong in the country and deserve a safe place to live. But I guess that is all out the window. Feminists only need "safe spaces" when white men are involved, right?

To me, the unspoken coda to “You rape our women” is always “. . . and that’s our job”.

Of course it is. Because why wouldn't it be? Because to you, a claim of innocence is the most damning evidence of guilt. We are no better today than we were during the Salem witch trials, and feminists are the reason why.

All the qualifiers are crossed out, leaving the simple statement: “She’s someone.”

Wow, women are people! Brought a tear to my eye! What a fitting conclusion to a long and tried article arguing that Western men are anything but.

the patriarchy and male violence endemic across the world

Yes, what matters is that we hold all men as guilty for the actions of a small minority. What good would brown criminals be if you couldn't blame white men for their crimes? This is about feminism, people!

a 13-year-old girl who claimed she had been kidnapped and raped by “Middle Eastern” migrants later retracted the story, saying she had invented it to avoid punishment for skipping school.

But I thought women don't lie about this sort of thing. Especially for trivial reasons.
