Belgian surgeon sentenced to ten months in prison over sexist speech

A cosmetic surgeon from Belgium has been handed a ten-month prison sentence for a lecture in which he complained that women were no longer willing to give sexual favours in exchange for protection and money from men.

Judges in Flanders said the speech by Jeff Hoeyberghs, 60, merited the prison sentence, half of which is suspended, on the grounds that he not only intended to incite discrimination, hatred and violence against women but also refused to apologise.

Hoeyberghs insisted he was only speaking the "truth", while some politicians claimed his freedom of speech was being curtailed.

In his 2019 speech at Ghent University, Hoeyberghs called women “hysterical, lazy, weak, stupid” and “dirty creatures, who seek money and protection from men to whom they owe sex”.

“Hoeyberghs called women “hysterical, lazy, weak, stupid” and “dirty creatures, who seek money and protection from men to whom they owe sex”.”

If he weren’t in jail, he’d be sleeping on the couch tonight.

Probably would have gotten less time for an actual rape over there.

Well, if he said it and he refuses to apologize then he’s putting his money where his mouth is.

I wonder what he was trying to do.

He should have appended the standard Muzzie sentence, thereby removing any chance the spineless Europeans would do anything to him.

And none if he were of the peaceful religion.

This is wrong. Not all of them are lazy. Some are very energetic in their female pursuits.

Freedom of speech is a uniquely American thing. It’s going away bit by bit but officially we still have it.

He’s a cosmetic surgeon. I would imagine the vast majority of his customers/patients are women. Must not have a head for business. Doesn’t mean he should be locked up though.

“’We have given women dishwashing machines and cleaning ladies, until they themselves became superfluous.

‘You cannot treat a woman like an equal without becoming her slave.’

The surgeon told one PhD student she was just ‘blue eyes and t*ts’, while another was ‘a fine example of how things go wrong’.

He added women ‘always let emotions get in their way’ and said prisons, psychiatric wards and rehab centres are ‘filled with children of single mothers’.

the surgeon claimed the accusations were part of a ‘well-oiled international machine of communist signature and with Western state subversion as the ultimate goal’.

And say what you want, I guarantee they are *fighting* each other to be his sugar baby.

My Grandparents were born in Belgium (Ghent actually) and went back to visit in the late 60’s. Came back furious and vowed never to return saying “There’s nothing but communists living there now!”

Thought Police are a key/necessary strategy for the worldwide communist movement, which now totally controls 85-to-90 percent of the planet...

Hitler, Mao, and Stalin (and many other Marxists residing in hell) must be spinning in their graves out of jealousy...

Actually nowdays most are willing to give sexual favors for much less than that. Today there is Slut Pride.

Re “refused to apologize”

Never apologize.

Stand your ground and give the middle finger.

He sounds like somebody who has just been dumped, swindled or cheated on. This is the kind of conversation you have in private, with a few longtime friends, over a beer or glass of bourbon, not on the public stage. Maybe he wanted to go out with a bang, so to speak.
