BNP in sexism shocker!

I'm sorry. I have just come across this, and I think it MUST - absolutely MUST - be highlighted.

The BNP's abhorrent positions on race and gender in modern Britain have been highlighted many a time, by the dedicated folks at Hope Not Hate, as well as on the F-Word and Pickled Politics. There are of course many other blogs and sites keeping up the good work.

To repeat the words of a former BNP member, Nicholas Eriksen:

"Rape is simply sex. Women enjoy sex, so rape cannot be such a terrible ordeal.

"To suggest that rape, when conducted without violence, is a serious crime is like suggesting that force-feeding a woman chocolate cake is a heinous offence.

"A woman would be more inconvenienced by having her handbag snatched."


That's right, kids. When a man forces himself on a woman despite her NOT WANTING to have sex with him, it's sex. Y'know, SEX, the intimate physical act which two people CHOOSE to do together. CHOOSE. Rape = sex, because, y'know, if a woman's chosen not to have sex with a man, it's the same as saying yes! There's just NO inherent logical contradiction there for wannabe rapist fuckface Nicholas Eriksen!

So, yeah, the BNP doesn't like feminism or think that treating women as equals really fits in with their worldview (Why am I not surprised?). So, without further ado, I bring you:

Babes of the BNP.

... Doing absolutely nothing to bolster their delusion that they constitute the 'master race,' the interviews with the women are a particularly painful reminder of what happens when people aren't made to learn the history of their own country properly. The irony - and hypocrisy - of allying oneself to a rabidly anti-immigrant party, whilst hoping to become an immigrant oneself, is particularly rich. It's hard not to feel really quite sorry for these women. I would mock them, but they seem genuinely deluded, and not quite as self-important as, say, the largely male BNP trolls now popping up like Whac-a-Moles on PP.

Given that women's bodies have been used to sell just about everything, even fucking MOUTHWASH and 'good' causes like militant vegetarianism (I'm looking at you, PETA!), surely it was just a matter of time until the BNP leapt aboard that bandwagon too? Good grief.
