As is usual with the intellectually constipated we are off in a wild exchange of abstractions devoid of any precise definition: "gender", for one, "equality", "attitude", and "progressive" to round off the list. This isn't actually fencing, it's more like pillow-fighting.

I note that the most "progressive" country with respect to "attitudes" toward "gender equality" is Sweden, the new rape capital of Europe. One wonders if the generally negative attitude toward rape in the United States is indicative of some sort of atavistic lack of enlightenment, but here at least the ladies can shoot the bastards, which may account for a slightly greater sum of "equality" in the face of a profoundly unprogressive "attitude." One wonders if just perhaps the two characteristics aren't working against one another.

All three of those countries (including us here) have the Muslim Invasion problem. There is no more time to waste on such trivia as presumed chauvanism.

Re: “The only Western country in the report that performed worse than Germany was the United States...”

The United States is a “Western” country?

38% of our population is from Africa, Latin America, or Asia!

They’ve never seen the exceptionally bawdy German comedienne Martina Hill. Bits from her sketch show, “Knallerfrauen” (roughly “Crazy Housewife”) are on YouTube, and are quite rude and funny. Sadly it is mostly copyright blocked in the US.
