Rather than condemning the rapes in Europe, this feminist calls people racists for noticing.

Harvard Fellow: ‘Bigots stealing feminism’ after migrant sexual assaults in Europe

Laurie Penny, a 2014-2015 Harvard University International Nieman Fellow, says that we — meaning the West — have only now begun to take sexual assault seriously because migrants from predominately Muslim countries have been the ones committing the attacks.

“After months of dog-whistle xenophobia, European authorities have finally started to treat migrants as they would treat any other citizen. They have achieved this by choosing not to make a fuss when migrants are accused of raping and assaulting women.”

Penny goes on to equate the sexual assaults in Cologne, Germany and elsewhere in Europe with the response of “Islamophobes” and “xenophobes” — because the latter have “jumped at the chance to condemn Muslim and migrant men as savages.”

Via the New Statesman:

It’s a miracle! Finally, the right wing cares about rape culture! Finally, all over the world, from Fox News to 4chan, a great conversion has taken place and men who previously spent their time shaming, stalking and harassing women are suddenly concerned about our rights! And all it took was a good excuse to bash migrants and Muslims and tell feminists they don’t know what’s good for them.

You know what has never yet prevented sexual violence? Unbridled racism.

This theft of feminist rhetoric in the name of imperialism and racism has been going on for centuries. It’s been an active part of the political conversation in the West since 2001. In the week since the Cologne attacks have been reported in the global press, a great many men have taken it upon themselves to educate me and other feminists on the point that only Muslim men are sexist. They have chosen to do this by sending orchestrated waves of abuse and sexual slurs to any woman whose opinion they dislike.
