Jaquesson is an exquisite example of double standards – Dagbladet.no

It should not so far before claiming to fight for women, fighting against them, or before it is easier to see the chips in his sister’s eye than the beam in itself self.

On parole meeting before March 8 ceremony in Oslo will 17-year-old Anna Dåsnes of Young Liberals, who had submitted a proposal to replace “Enforce sex trade law “that parole, been faced with serious arguments from social commentator Kari Jaquesson, who believed that girls who stood for this position should” suck ten cocks a day “to understand how it would be to work in brothels.

This is the same Jaquesson as last spring reacted strongly to be played by a porn actress in a social security office sketch and gave his blessing to a PFU complaint by on her behalf, on the grounds that “it is harmful when replying to a debate with penetration of opinion opponent. It makes it harder for women to express their views and prevents room for debate. ”

double standards is so exquisite that it approaches the perfect symmetry.

For other than the three girls, the whole scene seem most like a fun illustration of how the principles are not as principal once there is talk about people you not agree with. But the little quarrel tolerate being put into a larger context. Not because the girls got resistance, it is natural at a meeting on such issues, but because of the shape and choice of words.

Feminism is Historically and globally, a freedom struggle with enormous significance. It is thanks to women fight women can vote, study, dispose of their own bodies and their own finances. As a woman in 2016, it feels natural to send gratitude thought sometimes, to those who were once humiliated and imprisoned for ensuring the rights I blindly benefiting where I flounder me through life.

But like with many freedom ideologies, feminism has in itself a potential for something dogmatic and oppressive. Some of those who consider themselves feminists, tend to discredit and leaves out women who do not share a specific set of core values ​​and beliefs. The ideology that pointed the way toward a new freedom, which showed women that they could do and be far more than what establishment and traditions would have it, can in its most definitive forms being judgmental and restrictive, and so reduce the freedom that was the target of struggle initially. The wide avenue of possibilities becomes the narrow path. Here sensed the totalitarian fear of ambivalence, marketed as the good fight.

This time was the struggle for the enforcement of the sex trade law, regarded by Jaquesson to be so døvende good that it justified to roll over a seventeen. The dogma trumps openness. It is certainly a part of fight yet.
