The case of Finland shows a rare tendency to punish women in the Saudi style

At a time when women around the world are expected to be thriving, we are seeing impressive defeats. there is a rare tendency to punish women, Saudi style, for their sexuality.

Sanna Marin, Finland’s 36-year-old prime minister, is accused of dancing with her friends in a nation that was named “the happiest country in the world” in the United Nations-sponsored World Happiness Report.

What a gloomy and still sexist world this is, when Marin is forced to apologize in tears and submit to drug test, after a video leaked of her going wild at a private party.

The Helsinki times he scornfully claimed he resembled the “minister of dance” and dismissed the music he danced with as “common”.

Jacinda Ardern, premier of New Zealand, defended her Finnish colleague, asking: “How can we make sure we attract people into politics, rather than, as has historically been the case, discourage them?”

Rahm Emanuel, the US ambassador to Japan, tweeted about a double standard revealing the episode: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was hailed for drinking beer at a public concert, while Marin was criticized for dancing at a private party during her vacation.

“They’re hitting her as immature,” Emanuel told me. “But she is mature enough to bring Finland into NATO. It was a laborious management! Anyone could use a little party! (He alluded to Finland’s decision to join the Atlantic Alliance, increasing the Western Mutual Defense Organization’s border against Russia from 1,253 to 2,552 km, more than double. A reaction to the war against Ukraine that is transcendent for Russia. its significant geopolitical weight, Sweden followed in Finland’s footsteps).

In the United States

Joe Biden seemed to see how abnormal things are going even in the United States when, at a demonstration in the Washington suburbs, he denounced the MAGA gang (Donald Trump’s campaign slogan) for having a vision that he said was “like semi-fascism. .

But when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade who gave her a constitutional right to abortion, the president was kind to Mitch McConnell, the leader of the Republican bloc in Congress.

It is incorrect to say that McConnell acted lawfully just because he did not violate the law. McConnell approached and broke the rules: he held a candidate Barack Obama for a year to fill a vacant seat on the Supreme Court and then, just a week before the 2020 election, approved the admission of the religious fanatic to the court. . Barrett.

Barrett belonged to a Christian group called “Praise People”, where men make decisions about their wives.

Now, Barrett is making decisions for every woman in the country, and it’s outrageous. Guardian reported another leaked video of a recent encounter, far scarier than the one Marin questioned. She introduces the wife of the tyrannical leader of “Praise People” who acknowledges that some women in the group have cried so much due to their submissive roles that they have had to wear sunglasses.

Women who thought the Roe case would never really be overturned, or that if it did, it wouldn’t have much of an impact, are now realizing that earthquake what did it mean

Tudor Dixon, an acolyte of Donald Trump who is the Republican candidate for governor of Michigan, told Fox channel that abortion should be illegal even for raped minors. He suggested that having the baby still in this condition could be “healing”.

Many women are angry and many are registering to vote in November. Just as women pushed Biden to the White House, now women must save us again from a group of conservative insane people trying to determine our health care and how we live our lives. And maybe soon, if we even manage to be prom queens.
