It's called the feminist paradox: fighting "the patriarchy" (men) on one side, and at the same time demanding our borders be open to (often) single men from cultures which are notoriously patriarchal, misogynistic, homophobic, violent, and intolerant, on the other hand. Like the dog chasing its own tail. Fries my brain every time I see it. Feminists hate women as much as they do men.

Saskia Teague absolutely ripped that radical feminist a new one! Yes to he sure, sexism and gender discrimination in Britain exist. No one here is disputing that. But Britain is NOT a patriarchy nor does it have a rape culture! Yes, misogynist men exist in Britain. But in general, Britain is a pretty progressive country when it comes to gender equality. Hello? This is the nation that elected Margaret Thatcher Prime Minister in 1979! They also have since elected two more women to 10 Drowning Street since that time by the way, those being Theresa May and Liz Truss. Numerous women serve in parliament in all political parties and even lead some of them. Women in Britain can vote, earn equal pay, get a divorce, drive, go anywhere they want, can get an abortion, can go to university, and can become scientists, lawyers, doctors, dentists, star athletes, journalists, and police officers among other things.

Furthermore, sexual harassment and violence against women is not tolerated and is prosecuted in England as it should be! Women in Britain are not oppressed. They don’t live in a patriarchy, misogyny isn’t widespread and a rape culture doesn’t exist in the British Isles. At least not from the government or indigenous people. Immigrants from the Middle East and Africa are another story. They come from from actual patriarchal societies and actual rape cultures and many are misogynists. These men harass, follow, assault, and rape British women on a daily basis. That’s the real epidemic of misogyny in British society which this feminist ironically, denies and pretends doesn’t exist.

Mainstream feminism in the West is such a joke. It won’t discuss violence and harassment of women by immigrants because it fears being called racist. Yes, the far-right and white supremacists are vile and disgusting to be sure. It is also appalling how they use the plight of the women of Britain to push their hateful agenda. But it doesn’t change the fact this is a very much real and legitimate problem! Immigrant men are indeed a huge threat to women and girls in Britain and this can’t be denied. I will use one example of a real life incident of this. Elias Hussein Mahmoud a 22-year old an Ethiopian migrant was arrested back in August of 2016 for raping twice a British woman. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison. All this after he’d been allowed to claim asylum.
