This isn’t funny but I can’t stop laughing. Poor Echidne feels so terrified of her own timid reporting of the group sexual assault in Cologne that she’s issuing panicked disclaimers lest anybody suspect her of nor being multicultural enough.
You’ve got to love the mousy little feminists of today who are so scared of contradicting some pseudo-Liberal dogma that every nugget of feminist thought they allow themselves to entertain gets snowed under a mound of apologies and disclaimers.

More than “feminist” disclaimers has been reported today.
Here is a link to an article from the New English Review titled Geert Wilders on New Year’s Eve Sexual Assaults in Cologne Germany by Arab and North African men.
The article concludes with this summary of related events from the recent past:

The number of assaults on German women has risen to 167 and is expected to continue rising.

Oh God. This is a horror I don’t even want to imagine.

So what is wrong with the particular disclaimed she(?) used: “I would criticize that sort of advice whether the suspected culprits are native-born Germans or immigrants or aliens from outer space. ”
Should the reaction to crimes perpetrated by native-born Germans be different than the reaction to crimes perpetrated by Arabs? Should the reaction to stupid non-feminist “advise” by the mayor of Cologne should be any different, depending on who perpetrated the crimes?

Let’s ask this question: why was it necessary to make the disclaimer at all? How does this fretting lest some men be more offended than other men helpful to the victims? What prompts the disclaimer if not the need to service some men who might feel undeservedly singled out? Why does the female writer feel such a pressing need to reassure men that she’s not discriminating against any subgroup of them? What is it her job to reassure, comfort, be an emotional caretaker to men?
Women were sexually assaulted. But this supposedly feminist writer drops that subject and swiftly moves to a much more pressing need: reassuring and cajoling men. This is so typical of how every woman spends her life that it hurts my eyes to read it. But I’d expect a greater awareness of this from a woman who writes about feminism professionally.

When you write something anti-Russian, you also occasionally make the disclaimers that “not all Russians are like that”, only those who support Putinist BS are. Are you making those disclaimers because you are a woman and this made you somehow more obligated to care for their feelings, or simply because this is the right thing to do?

If I mentioned the word “men”, then yes, it would be an instance of female caretaking. It’s not everybody who receives the care. It’s specifically men. So all Russians don’t count.
But of course I do this in real life. We can try to be aware of this but escaping the mandate completely is not that easy. I, at least, get remunerated for my caretaking work, so that’s something. 🙂 Like hell I’d do it for free. 🙂

Germany has found, finally, a politically and multiculturally correct solution to the problem of rape and other types of sexual assault by Muslim immigrants. Ignoring the problem didn’t work and neither did codes of conduct for German women, so cracking down on German free speech will have to do.
