Sir Winston Churchill once got into a heated argument with a woman warrior of a feminist organization. The latter concluded his speech like this: - If I had a husband like you, I would definitely mix poison in his drink. - To which Churchill: - If I had a wife like you, I would drink it.
For some reason, this story came to mind when I read the statement of the "anti-patriarchy" Patent Association. I quote from this: "We cannot be happy about Katalin Novak's new position. […] It's an old but still effective trick: putting a nice-looking female face on the oppression of women and presenting it as if it were a manifestation of women's equality.” And they list at length why the head of state, who will take office in May, is unacceptable to them. For example, because he has no intention of showing solidarity with those who "have to endure various forms of oppression, humiliation, violence and abuse every day in a country designed for men and ruled by men."
Their strongest argument is as follows: "In his speech on the day of his election, he also winked at his anti-abortion friends: he assured them that even as president of the republic he would support those who take care of life from the moment of conception." Unheard of! Katalin Novák is on the side of life. One of the commentators suggested that the patentees, who experience their femininity as a stroke of fate, should not speak out in the name of Hungarian women, because they are only a sick minority. I'm leaning towards it, you're right. The most important Patent partners come to mind: Budapest Pride, Labrisz Lesbian Association, Rainbow Mission Foundation, Háttér Társaság, Open Society Foundations. Any questions?
