Here's what she wrote today about the terrible murder of Sarah Everard

And here's what she wrote when hundreds of women were sexually assaulted on New Year's Eve

www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/mar/11/women-feminism-reminder-vulnerability

" Young German women thankfully enjoy historically unprecedented economic and sexual freedom, with their expensive smartphones and their right to celebrate New Year’s Eve however they want. The same isn’t always true of young male migrants exchanging life under repressive regimes, where they may at least have enjoyed superiority over women, for scraping by at the bottom of Europe’s social and economic food chain. It is not madness to ask if this has anything to do with attacks that render confident, seemingly lucky young women humiliated and powerless."

Just FO Gaby, and ditto to all the other cowards who make exceptions when it comes to women's freedom and safety.

For the second article, did you mean this one?

Hinsliff and the editors who decided that was a reasonable piece to publish cost TG a fair number of readers. More interested in clickbait than responsible journalism.

In what way is this not also true of German men? How weird. So she’s saying that it’s understandable that poor migrants hate and resent women and attack them for this reason, without addressing why they attacked women and not men who are in the exact same “resentable” position?

Cowardice, misogyny and entitlement maybe Gaby? And also it’s not just migrants, you do realise that?
