WK: regels voor vrouwen

“Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But, we think you’re crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But, what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club.“

VOLTAIRE ARRESTEREN, DAT DOE JE NIET.

Ayaangate in het Engelands:

Leon de Winter voor Die Welt:

In May ’68, during the Paris riots, the French police planned to arrest Jean-Paul Sartre. When De Gaulle was informed about the plan, he reacted: ‘On n’arrete pas un Voltaire.’ One does not arrest a Voltaire.

One does not strip a Voltaire from his citizenship.

The Guardian, precies een jaar geleden:

It is painfully moving to think of this smart, quiet Somali woman, who looks so small walking away between her bodyguards, believing herself to be dangerous. But she is.

Slate:

At all costs, it seems, others must be allowed “their culture” and—what is more—must be allowed the freedom not to be offended by the smallest criticism of it. If they do feel offended, their very first resort is to violence and intimidation, sometimes with the support of the embassies of foreign states. (How interesting it is that the two European states most recently attacked in this way—Holland and Denmark—should be the ones that have made the greatest effort to be welcoming to immigrants.)

Metafilter:

“The way she helped ‘liberate’ muslim women will have caught the attention of the [American Enterprise Institute] who have a similar definition of liberation (Iraq, anyone?) I’m certain she won’t last long there, once they find out she’s not only anti-Islam, but also pro-gay, anti-religion, and pro-insult.” – Zombie Dreams

Expatica:

Hirsi Ali has bettered her life, and has championed causes that need determined champions. But one nagging question remains. Why is this former asylum seeker a member of the same party as Verdonk? This is the minister who wants to deport gays and Christian converts back to Iran. This is the minister who has vowed to keep economic migrants masquerading as refugees from getting into the country.

Ik weet dat men moet lijden voor de kunst, maar of bloeden over je gitaar hieronder valt, is me niet geheel duidelijk.
