Comment on Eiffel Tower employees strike after female staff removed

Comments

All 3 things are so typical: 1) Ascetics living the high life 2) The French striking 3) Europeans throwing modern civil rights under the bus to accommodate foreigners who don't respect women

Regarding 3) This is France, where in some areas swimwear on beaches is regulated. No "burkini", even non-tight-fitting swimshorts were disallowed.

So to shake your head and think "Woke Europe" would be too simplistic.

It is distressing that so many groups, usually calling themselves "ideologies" or "religions" demand that the countries where they happen to be cancel their own values. ESPECIALLY when it comes to values like equality.

In this case equality between men and women, but let's not pretend that for most ideologies that is any more than just one of many inequalities they would like to introduce. Sorry, "to have respected", as if that means anything different.
