A provocative article in a popular Russian tabloid, shaming women as 'whores' for their hospitality and romance with foreign fans during the World Cup, has triggered an avalanche of criticism and heated debate on women's rights.
The controversial
piece, entitled "The time of whores: Russian women disgrace their country and themselves during the Mundial," has brought Moskovsky Komsomolets (MK) over half a million clicks in less than a day and was widely reposted and discussed on social media.
The author, Platon Besedin, wrote that, while the coaches and footballers praised the organization of the World Cup, and the visiting fans claim that, contrary to what they'd been led to believe about Russia, it turned out to be an awesome country with welcoming people, the Russian women are working hard to maintain the sad stereotype that "they are for sale."
"Not all of them are like this, of course, but the black sheep bring shame on the whole flock. And let's be frank, there's quite a lot of those black sheep," Besedin claimed, adding that social media is full of videos of interactions between foreign fans and local women, who "behave like shabby broads with low social responsibility."
"We've raised a generation of whores, ready to spread their legs to only the sound of foreign speech. And if they're also shown a dollar then it's absolutely perfect for them," he stated. The author went on to blame such behavior of the country's females on the "degradation of Russian men, who are both weak and irresponsible."
Comment: Howard Dean just made a fool of himself by displaying his absolute ignorance of what is going on in Ukraine. The coup was largely carried out with the support of neo-nazi groups, and these same groups have supported the government that followed. So why would anti-semitism (of the real type) come as a surprise in Ukraine??
