Campaign against male violence in the Paris Metro
---"The testicles are not crystal, they do not explode. The closure of the thighs is preferable."---
Notice to men who lounge about, legs apart, on the seats of the Paris Metro...The collective, Dare feminism, is launching a Takebackthemetro campaign and a petition on Oct. 31st.
"The Metro's atmosphere is hostile to women. According to a survey we conducted, three quarters of women are forced to develop coping strategies, adapt their own behavior, and carefully choose where they sit," says Anne-Cécile Mailfert, on behalf of the association.

I am a huge fan, Taro, but I think I have missed the point on this one. What I get from this is that the Japanese campaign uses a slightly paternalist polite tone to encourage better public behaviour from the relatively rare bad apples and the French campaign is sarcastically phrased, condescending female chauvinist hyperbolic slander composed in a dead language by a bunch of whiney surrender monkeys too filthy to trim ther excess fur.

Do I get an onigiri fridge magnet?

I was aware that the French campaign was "sarcastically phrased, condescending female chauvinist hyperbolic slander" but EVERYTHING that a Japanese or French feminist says can be ignored.

Cawaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

BTW, I was referring to female chauvinists, whom I despise, not feminists, whom I quite like and consider myself one thereof.

I would love to hear all about the violent aspects of bad posture in public, even just to giggle at the tortured logic but I would probably have to read the article, non?

From thue articul:

Previously, the union interpreted French law as precluding judges from striking and interrupting the flow of the courts, but its governing council accepted a new reading of the law and condoned the strike.

When you have laws that can be read to say anything plus its opposite maybe it’s time to stop pretending, and start riding in stretched 80’ era Benz with tiger skin pattern on the seats as well as have an army where the lowest rank for everyone is Admiral-General.

Oh…

And a gold plated Famas or AK47…

Well… might be more difficult with a president queer as an amurkun librul art major married to a pre-op tranny double his age… but maybe the next one can pull it…
