The other day, a self-proclaimed feminist group awarded a carline thistle to Žiga Turk for the most misogynistic statement of the year. The statement, which “earned the award”, was taken out of context, and a dizzying 19 (!) Facebook users voted for the award, but in any way this is of secondary importance. Turk was awarded a carline thistle because he does not belong to the “progressive” political option. If the award presenters were actually outraged by the “misogynistic statements”, then they could give it to the city councillor Stariha, who sent the following tweet to SDS party: “Shut up bitch, heel”, or perhaps to the failed candidate for the prime minister and expert on Swiss francs J. P. Damijan , who wrote that Aleksandra Pivec left “like a whore from a dance” after she was fired as president of DeSUS party.
But Stariha and Damijan are progressive men, so their statements are not a big thing to feminists and other left-wing “activists”. Of course, this kind of left wing hypocrisy is not a Slovenian specialty. Donald Trump’s boastful statement years ago caused feminists to go crazy. Among other things, they organised a protest rally “million plums”, at which entertainers threw themselves on the ground in righteous anger. But speaking of the devil, it was these that kept their mouths shut for years about film producer Weinstein, who actually grabbed (and more) women, and will therefore probably spend the rest of his life behind bars.
There is no rally or bombastic articles or insane indignation about New York Governor Cuomo, who has already been accused of sexual harassment by at least three former subordinate employees. Like there is no rallies due to similar accusations against Joe Biden. The reason is clear, of course, they are progressives who declare themselves to be feminists, “LGBT allies”, and environmental activists, so the left wing society does not even lift a finger. This proves that left wing outrage is primarily borderless hypocrisy…
