Alain Finkielkraut and the French women's football team
During a Wednesday night appearance on France's CNews channel, a reporter asked Finkielkraut if he plans on watching France's upcoming Women's World Cup match against South Korea on Friday.
"Ahh, well no," the academic responded. "I do not like women's football."
Surprised, the journalist pressed Finkielkraut. "Why? What's the difference?" she asked.
"Stop with 'equality, equality!' Equality yes, but with a little difference. Of course it's great that women play football," he explained, clearly annoyed with the questioning.
The CNews host cut across Finkielkraut, accusing him of condescension.
"I am not being condescending. It does not fascinate me, that's not how I want to see women... And what next? You're going to ask me to watch a boxing match between women, then a rugby match... I don't want to."
Comment: What you want doesn't matter, Finkielkraut. The diversity brigade demands total conformity.
Comment: No popular support, direct line to the media, over-the-top terroristic messaging... it sounds like a black-op:
- Suspicious timing: Sunday Times interviews 'New IRA' terrorists
- Brexit and the uptick in violence in Northern Ireland: What's behind it?
- Young journalist shot and killed during riot in Derry, Northern Ireland
- Northern Ireland: Police make arrests in courthouse car bombing deemed a terrorist attack by the 'New IRA'
At this rate, they're going to have The IRA (For Real) back in play by the time Brexit comes to a head again in October this year...Why? Because a 'major national security threat' would justify the threat of reimposing a hard border in Ireland, which would be very useful political currency for the British establishment to have in its arsenal as it attempts the impossible of keeping the UK in the EU and keeping Nigel Farage out of 10 Downing Street...
