Julio Llamazares is a famous Spanish writer. In Spain, writers participate a lot in public life and write for newspapers and magazines on the most pressing political issues all the time.
Today, Llamazares decided to publish a piece on mass sexual assaults in Cologne. After outlining his disgust with everybody who suggested that there might have been refugees among the rapists, Llamazares finally had to recognize that yes, actually, many of the rapists were refugees. The writer honestly and unashamedly relates what his reaction to this information was:
The writer doesn’t even try to fake any concern for the victims of the assaults. Women are erased from his narrative completely, and their suffering does not touch him in the least. All he cares about is that these annoying, pesky women with their stupid little problems will now get in the way of male suffering being alleviated.
This is male solidarity in action, people. Llamazares is a talented writer, deeply sensitive to human suffering, but all that goes out of the window the second he feels that the interests of some men somewhere might be compromised for the sake of acknowledging the interests of women. Llamazares is not some raging male chauvinist. He is not even remotely one of the men who actively hate women. His readiness to sacrifice women to help out other men is simply so natural to him that he doesn’t question it.
I know that many people will feel tempted to tell me that “not all men.” Yes, I know that not all men. If you read this blog, you are probably not like this, great. But if Llamazares’s approach were not predominant, the situation in Cologne would not have even happened in the first place. The only reason why women’s rights were not the central subject of discussion when the decision was made to bring over to Germany a million men from anti-women countries is precisely that so many men (and women who interiorized the narrative of their own subservience) refused even to consider that alleviating male suffering should not be done at the cost of flushing women’s rights down the toilet.
For people who see women’s rights as important, the number one question when we had when hearing the news of open borders for refugees was, “Wait, but what will this mean for women’s rights?” For everybody else, the question doesn’t arise even after dozens of women get brutalized. And while women sit there, staring at what is happening in disbelief or constructing servile systems of excuses for the rapists, all of the achievements of the women’s movement are being thrown out into the trash.
Clarissa's Blog 
Both men and women have been writing about the Islamisation of Germany and other European nations. Often, the focus has been on the rights women are denied in Islamic cultures and are increasingly denied is western cultures with substantial and growing numbers of Muslim immigrants. For doing so, they are damned by “moderate” Muslims — particularly President Obama’s friends at the Council on American – Islamic Relations (CAIR) and others.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is one of those so attacked.
Why? And why does Obama support the foes of women’s rights under Islam rather than those who want women (and men as well) to have full human rights? Why are Saudi Arabia and now Iran — which seem to compete for the title of worst human rights offender on the planet — still our allies?

I honestly don’t think anyone even got to the “yes but” stage. Nobody in public discourse raised this issue prior to the decision, AFAIK.
All this talk of “refugees/not refugees” ignores the fact that it serves nobody to let this go unaddressed. Ostensibly, the refugees are all fleeing war zones and are attracted by the relative safety of these host nations. One measure of safety is how a wide variety of people can walk down the street any time without problems. If there’s a place where women can walk down the street drunk at 3 am without running into problems, shouldn’t we all work to preserve that even if neither you nor any woman you care about would ever do that? If a place is this safe, it definitely cuts down on the “I must fight dudes in this place to defend my male honor” even if they’re by themselves and not with any women in public.
I’m surprised there are no condescending psychologists telling refugees they aren’t in a war zone any more so they should stop trying to emulate these conditions as a way of exorcising their trauma.
(“But I don’t feel safe unless the women are inside because it’s not like home. Aaagh.”)

Two men approached him, calling him a ‘Jew’ and insulting him. Then they threw him to the ground, stomped on his hand, and stole his bag, containing cash, his EC card, and train ticket. Fortunately, they could later be identified and arrested near their residence in Neumünster.

Has it occurred to you that men and women are equally human and have equal rights to be dealt with humanely? Or that more men might support the rights of women (many already do) if “feminists” were equally interested in the rights of both men and women? Men and women are in this mess together. Until we realize that, the situation will continue to deteriorate.
Islamists are the worst current violators of the rights of both men and women. Saudi Arabia and Iran come immediately to mind, but the same is true of most others. Why don’t more “feminists” contest President Obama’s repeated assertions that Islam is the religion of peace, tolerance and human rights? Have they been asleep recently and hence remain unaware of who has been doing what in Europe? How about Obama’s repeated assertions that the Islamic State, et al do vile things and are, therefore, not Islamic?
According to Daniel Greenfield, with whom I frequently but not always agree, the Muslim Brotherhood is, long term, more dangerous that the Islamic State. Here’s a recent video explaining why. I find his speech sometimes hard to understand, but it’s worth trying.

A kind of big difference is that when male police, firefighters etc (a large majority of both in Europe are male) are attacked they’re attacked as representatives of state power, representives a social and political system that young muslim men in Europe despise (yet won’t leave).
Women are attacked for being in public and not being covered up and/or escorted by their male owners.
There’s a video I can’t find now of a German school administrator (female) talking to young muslim men (mainly Albanian and Turkish) born in Germany. They treat her with open contempt and laugh at her pronouncements of gender equality – it’s a direct contradiction to what their fathers say and they’re going to side with their father over this outsider.
There’s also the film of a “refugee” unhappy with his breakfast in Finnland (they’re given standard institutional fare). He pronounces it unfit for a man, saying it’s food for a dog or a woman….

Representatives of state power, especially police have greater leeway to use force in defense of themselves and others. Notably absent from the mayor of Cologne’s tips, is a reassurance that if you use force in self defense you’ll not be held to a higher standard. In part I think it’s because Europeans have less free access to weapons, and she doesn’t to appear to sanction retaliatory violence, but also women don’t have have as much societal sanction to use force in general.

If we assume there is a reason these people were allowed into Germany then the idea of collapsing the welfare state by overburdening it with a large underclass that wont’ integrate (the same way elephants won’t fly) but which most people are afraid to criticise is certainly up there.
I kind of halfway joked that brown men were being used (by a variety of actors ) to keep white women in line and now I’m not so sure that’s not the case.
The reason is why? One of the reasons the 1960s feminist movement was so successful was that many of their goals were actually well aligned with those of corporate interests – increasing the workforce and consumption.
Maybe the entirely predictable effects for women are also intended? But how does this serve the exterritorials? by making it harder for locals to organize against them?

Women’s participation in the workforce also coincides with their increased educational attainment. Is it really a coincidence that the value of education goes down the more that women and visible minorities, access it? Could it be a subconscious way of reducing competition for the better paying jobs? A lot of this nostalgia for better days, in America at least, for better working conditions and better pay coincides with the denial of these conditions to women of all races and visible minorities. Perhaps this “yes butting” of very serious public safety problems is a way for educated men of all races to reduce their likely competition in an era of liquid capital and fluid borders. There are certain parts of the world to which I will not take a job in no matter how well it pays, and I suspect that list is longer for women than for men. Capital cooperates because it’s a reliable way of depressing the mobility, leverage and mobility of half the potential workforce.

From your article:
1)The new facilities are located in the heart of the Jungle camp, which has ballooned in recent months and has evolved into a slum with shops, mosques and a church between the tarps and tents.
2)Caption: Some 125 metal transport containers have been converted into heated homes, complete with power sockets, heated towel rails, toilets and washing facilities for up to 1,500 people
3)‘We had been given a Wednesday deadline, although this timeframe is now less certain, to move and relocate approximately 2,000 refugees, including over 300 women and 60 kids,’ charity HelpRefugees UK wrote in a statement on Monday.
‘We are doing our utmost to ensure the safe movement of the refugees. A particular concern is the large number of women and children.
‘The refugees are not rejecting the new container camp. The new container camp can only accept a maximum of 55 new people per day and this is far below the numbers required. In the interim, refugees face what shelter they have being destroyed.’
So if I understand this correctly, the camp allows the refugees some semblance of dignity (in part because maybe they constructed part of it themselves), while the shipping containers don’t (Europeans consider electricity, heat and running water necessities not luxuries, and a shipping container is used to store cargo, not humans) and the containers themselves cannot move all of the people in before the camp is destroyed, even if the refugees cooperate.
