The War on Women: Rotherham Edition

The war on women is going very well indeed.  This means the women are losing.

In the gentle British burg of Rotherham, 1400 young women were exploited, seduced, raped, drugged, beaten and ignored by the police authorities.

I'm sure that without too much trouble, we could round up 1400 fine young men in the area who couldn't get a date.  Now we can tell them why; The young ladies were busy being victimized.  The guys probably thought it was their bad breath.

In addition to the usual gender politics, the racial politics of the situation is fascinating.  The abusers were all men from the Pakistani community, the victims were all British white girls.  The officials of the gentle burg are so damned politically correct they were afraid to annoy the "Asian" community for fear of being called "Racist".  I'd rather be called a "Racist" than a "Rapist", myself.  But that's just me.

I figured that the Muslim-on-British crime was the results of a jihadist campaign. But — good news!  It isn't!  The Pakistanis were not focusing on British white girls to the exclusion of all others.  They rape Pakistani girls too!  This is such good news; it wasn't the Clash of Civilizations after all!

Just sit yourself down in front of your search engine and look for "Rape in Pakistan".  You'll see just oodles and oodles of hits.  In Pakistan, there is a rape every two hours and a gang rape every eight.  And 72% of female detainees in one Punjab study were abused while in police custody.   So not only is there equality for women between Britain and Pakistan, but the cops are pretty much the same turds in both places.  How global.

The British girls weren't being raped because they're Christian, but just because the Pakistani men feel the white girls are sexier.  Well, I do to, actually, but somehow I've been able to restrain myself from pouring gasoline on teenage girls.

There's an new opera in New York City, "Thumbprint", about one of the more famous of the gang rapes in Pakistan.  If they try to make an opera about the Rotherham crimes, they'll have to resurrect Cecil B. Demille to put on a massive show.

It turns out that curmudgeon and social critic Steve Sailer has more to say on the subject, comparing the response to that of the kidnapped Nigerian girls.  In the Nigerian case, there was Awareness Raising, but in the Rotherham case, it was Awareness Lowering all the way.  Even a character like Sailer gets one right sometimes.

The news isn't all bad.  Some of these cases resulted in convictions in June 2013, and in the town of Derby in 2010.  

The War on Women

The War on Women is going swimmingly.   In the western world, women are being denied reproductive medical care such as birth control and access to abortion.  Even in workplace medical coverage.

But Nigeria does it better than anybody.  230 schoolgirls were abducted over a week ago, by the Boko Haram Islamists as punishment for getting a western education.  The article says nobody knows where the missing girls are.  But hold that thought.

The Telegraph, on the other hand, says that the girls were tracked down by their parents.  The parents were forced to turn back after direct threats.  And when the parents gave the location data to the police, the police ignored it.

Now that's a war on Women!

The name Boko Haram actually means "Western education is sin" in the local Hausa language.  The group is a bunch of radical Islamists.

But don't fear for the lives of the girls, they are used as slaves and sexual servants, so they're kept alive. "The girls who are kidnapped are raped, forced into servitude -- but rarely killed", said CNN.

I think if you drop by the local grammar school, you might find some kids who will testify that "Western education is a sin".  So everything is normal and the world will continue turning.   Carry on.
