Feminist Explanations: Male Power, Hostility, and Sexual Coercion

[John Bailey]

The Left-Right binary also fails when it comes to the f--king terrifying
scale of sexual slavery today, on every continent, perpetuated by and on
every race and ethnicity and gender, but some more than others. Maybe
Antarctica is exempt but I wouldn't be bloody surprised. There are suburbs
in which the rape of hundreds of women occurs on a nightly basis. These
include South-East Asian suburbs frequented by hordes of secular white men.
The newspapers don't report it, so much. All of this has nothing to do with
Koln, but I firmly believe the sexual terrorism Ish is linking to uses
religion, commerce, psychology, art, whatever, merely as an excuse.
