Street Sexism

Apparently feminists in Italy, not content to try and deal with real women's issues such as forced marriages, child brides, sex trafficking, equal pay or sexual abuse, have found that actually the number one concern for 'wimmin of the left' should be street names.

Yes you guessed it, too many men's names, not enough female names.  Maria Pia Ercolini the instigator of this story (which the BBC picked up like a shot), found that 7,575 (45.7%) of the Rome city's streets were named after men and just 580 (3.5%) were named after women. "That's proof of the discrimination", she says.

But perhaps realising how this story might play, she has also conceded that  "We don't want to re-name streets - we want new streets to be named after women”.

Downing Street - To be renamed?

No doubt some lazy female politician on the Labour parties cabinet or candidate lists will shortly take up the battle in Britain, and start demanding all places be renamed .... well lets see how the 'Wimmin' deal with "*Offas Dyke" ... that should confuse them :-)

Actually, it never fails to amaze me how shallow are the waters that the feminine 'fighters' swim in ... they can attack what they see as white male dominance, but those cultures that that really suppress women are left unchallenged through a combination of fear of retaliation, and PC multiculturalism.
