on feminism and women's true stories
By Barbara Steinemann, State Councillor SVP, Watt ZH
Periodically publish the Gender Equality Bureau of the Federation, the cantons and the cities of its information brochures. The one devoted to three-quarters of its pages to the school leavers, where teaching is made more palatable in a typically male-dominated profession.
"Break the traditional gender structures on! Learn a man's job! "These calls are accompanied by a portrait painter and a lot of arguments with All kinds of colorful emancipation. Frankly: The thought of a fringe group of the same sex are to me as a reader almost embarrassing, our society it is probably a little too well.
girls and women appear there as the "stupid sex," which state agencies must have for every situation his way. If we women about being left behind? Do we need a tutor? Or do the same work-site channels simply do not know what to do with their time and their ample public funds?
Islamic oppression
In our neighbor-dominated culture, the exact opposite. The oppression of women achieved in Arabia and Africa new dimensions. The recent reports by the UN to speak of emerging "gender apartheid". The South Africa of today with veil. The new victims are placed in dark clothes and stigmatized beyond recognition. Barbaric punishments and rituals, from stoning circumcisions accumulate again in the Islamic world. Girls are not worth anything, it counts more than their retail value as a bride. Women awaiting execution by stoning for adultery. The case of convicted Khayrieh in Iran has attracted international interest when her pleas were announced publicly: "I am ready to be hanged, but they should not stone me!"
Today waits Sakineh Ashtiani for months in the same country for their stoning, allegedly had contact with the widow of two men. For this she was sentenced only to 99 lashes, which punishment has been enforced.
"right" or even "justice" in these worlds are no individual claims of the individual against society and the authorities. Meanwhile, we should always be aware. So the woman will be killed, simply because they can defend themselves as a woman at the worst, however. The mystery of this injustice should draw us into its spell, not the agenda of our gender equality offices.
The West, however, is silent. In Saudi Arabia, women are hardly treated better than Camels. They may not have a passport or driving a car, they are education, occupation, deprived of even public spaces - just like the blacks in South Africa.
defend anyone but themselves? Greenpeace thinks about the whales, the Green Party to climate change, the feminists of the female apprentices in male professions. To protest against, may be as idle as the world history of the omissions. Nevertheless, if the dozen dictatorships withdraw the women's human rights is demonstrated by the systematic Looking away from indifference, fear and indifference.
And us?
want to Western Europe, immigrant Muslim women here all too often under the Yoke of their men. All too often - in fact locked in her own apartment - they are at the mercy of hard violence, many have become victims of forced marriages, the starting point for a non-free life predicament.
Where is the outcry of women's rights organizations? Find it breathtaking to equal opportunity office, the language? One in the Middle Ages left standing "culture" makes in this country wide, gender defamation already impressed the external appearance - in the form of more or less of the concealment of the body. The Equal Opportunity Office look away. Admittedly, it's also easier to brand Swiss men as bearded tyrant to correctly state.
Muslim-specific issues can be explained away so little: Other in Switzerland could ask the questions we raised last year by the initiative. You have not done it until now. Before you say loose flaky and chumming, Islam is a part of Germany, one should look at the disgusting facts that take place in Muslim areas in the eye and raise this open. Violence damages the image of Islam. And as long as the Muslims who live here do not distance themselves from such atrocities of Islam, they did not arrive in our democracy.
priority order
An ethnic discrimination all around us far from it. We do not draw the line between Muslims and all others, but we draw the line between those who live by the rules of the liberal constitutional state and those which adhere to the archaic doctrine of a backward tradition. We have always done and do it in the future. The population of Switzerland has also seen this so, otherwise they would not have voted Yes a year ago.
While breaking the women's representatives and equal opportunity offices in Switzerland, the head every day about how the women have something similar could be made and in which administrative body or to set up a women's representative expert body would be immigrants from areas greater distance and suppresses even greater cultural distance in the middle of Europe systematically.
particular, feminists and those political groups which take the matter of women, human rights, violence against the weak and ignore social issues, precisely the phenomena of Islam, which they usually fight with verve. That just to support the advance of Islam in Europe mocks any reason. The refusal of Western freedoms for Muslim women met a key condition for the winning ground human rights obligations, parallel societies. Misogyny occurs in migrants to apply the multi-cultural tolerance bid, say critics ban. Although these are to foreigners!
The most terrible human rights abuses on our planet are the local women's offices not worth a single line. The website of the Equal Opportunity Office of the City of Zurich instead lets us know that this year the prize of twenty thousand francs Diversity Award to the association "Women City Tour Zurich" will be directed. The city of Bern wants to reduce gender-based discrimination with a new action plan "a city without advertising sexist motives" prevail. This is expressed, according to what priority order, the same place gutters treat women fates ...
The migrant backgrounds are Official bodies such taboo, because reality does not fit into the ideological concept of multiculturalism. In order to accept the gender equality offices, not only thought control, they tolerate severe pain that is done to other women.
