Riot

The Truth behind the Feminist Movement
By Michael Parker, 23 Oktober 1971

In the light of recent protests on the streets of London, this article aims to clarify the obscure background of the instigators of these riots; the feminists. They attempt to draw attention to the subordinate position of women in society, appealing to gender-based discrimination and oppression. They are quick to judge the 'exclusive society', but what they lack is concrete evidence. Their viewpoints are hardly ever statistically supported. The studies and numbers they use to support their ideology are generally not fact-based, and questionable to say the least. One prominent example is the statement they uttered recenty, during a protest in the United States; '25 percent of US women will be raped in their lives'. Without indisputable empircal evidence, this seems to be a bold and highly exaggerated proclamation. Another belief is that men and women have little biological differences, if any. This idea is easily refuted by referring to innumerable previous studies of renowned scientists, who have devoted their lives to investigating precisely these biological characteristics that separate the female sex from the male sex.
