Feminists Find a New Complaint:  Femicide
Paul Craig Roberts

When I hear people talk about saving Western values, I ask them which ones still exist. 

I asked a feminist that question and all she could come up with was “male toxicity.”  I had just listened to a NPR program on which two feminists talked about Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders being sexually harassed.  So why did the cheerleaders fight so hard to get that job?  If they thought that their scantily-clad bodies weren’t going to attract male attention, they must have been crazy.  And disappointed had no male noticed.

Recently over a beer I listened to a former police officer explain how police departments in Democrat cities were being put in the hands of women and blacks. He said that it was the black police chief and white female in charge of police training in Minneapolis who framed Derek Chauvin.  They wanted to get a white male cop and withheld evidence and possibly perjured themselves in order to achieve their goal.

I read recently and reported that “victimized” women now dominate most professions, law, media, education, health care,  and are closing in on corporate executives.  Today’s reality is toxic femininity.  Consider what it means for a “toxic” white male to have a feminist for a boss.  Or a black boss who was taught in school to hate white “slave lords” and aversive racists.  In the Western world everyone except a white heterosexual male can be a victim.  White males can only be oppressors.  This is why when you hear a male on NPR or the networks, he speaks very effete in order to suggest that he is queer and not a toxic male.

The feminists were set back by the assault on them by the transgender lobby.  But they are now back at work.  Italy has just passed a law against Femicide, which means the murder of women.  Why do feminists need this law when it is already against the law to murder any gender?  

I suppose the reason could be that a misogynist is worse than a murderer and that a man who kills a woman must be a misogynist and deserving of punishment by a special law that includes murder and being a misogynist.  I suppose we will soon see laws to forbid transgendercide, homosexualcide, but not for “toxic” white heterosexual men, who will be the one human safe to kill.  https://apnews.com/article/italy-femicide-law-crime-gender-violence-women-99e4be4aaba9f6b940d834ed6c7cb4d0 

It seems curious that the law only applies to murder and not to rape.  For many years European governments, such as the British, Swedish, and Norwegian, have steadfastly refused to protect their women from rape by immigrant-invaders by enforcing the law prohibiting rape.  In effect, immigrant-invaders have acquired de facto rights to the bodies of white European women.  Possibly this indicates that people of color have higher status than white women in the Tower of Babel that now comprises Western civilization.  Not long ago I reported on a European court ruling that dismissed rape charges against two immigrant-invaders on the grounds that their rape of a white woman was just an expression of their cultural values and in their value system did not qualify as a crime.  So why isn’t murder just an expression of cultural values?

From the standpoint of  the international movement for the Elimination of Violence against Women, it seems that rape does not count as violence against women. The AP writer reporting the story lays the blame for violence against women on “Italy’s patriarchal culture.”   In other words, it is the white toxic male’s fault that immigrant-invaders rape white women.

Does the law apply if the murderer of a woman is a woman?

What if an American black woman is raped by immigrant-invaders.  Is this the fault of white toxic males?

I listen to my readers. In March 2010, I terminated my syndicated column. Thousands of you protested. So persuasive were your emails asking me to reconsider and to continue writing that, two months later, I began writing again.

In order to create a coherent uncensored and unedited archive of my writings, The Institute For Political Economy, a non-profit organization that supports research, writing and books, has established this site, thus gratifying readers' demands that I continue to provide analyses of events in our time.

In order to stay up, this site needs to pay for itself.
