Other than the assault and rape that could’ve been prevented by not allowing unrestricted mass immigration, what bothers me the most about the events in Cologne and other European cities was just how many feminists were perfectly willing to sacrifice women to “refugee rights.”

Echidne talks about that a bit here and draws some interesting parallels with the Clinton and Sanders campaigns.

It should be pointed out again that just because the conservative idiots happen to be claiming something, that doesn’t make it automatically wrong. It just makes them accidentally right for ideological reasons. It doesn’t mean you should discard it automatically — which seems to be the feminist also-ideological response — it just means that you should do your own thinking for once.

Ignoring all that, I’m very sorry, European women, for what’s about to happen to you and to your lives. I wish that you could blame just conservatives or neoliberals or chance and circumstance, but you can also blame feminists, too, for bringing this down on you.

The betrayal of someone who should be on your side is always more excruciating than any other perfidy.
