Margaret Atwood was a fucking prophet.

Thank you for this comment! I am appalled at some of the comments here and the way Germany is seen as some weird backwards still-Nazi country where women are shoved into train compartments at gunpoint and women of colour have to ride at the back of the train. Wtf, Jezebel?! Apparently, many people here don’t really…

Putting this “oh noes Germans are doing it again” spin on modern stories is kinda hilarious for us outside the US since the US is currently maybe going to elect a right wing meglomaniac with weird hair as President. RIght now. :)

Without deciding for myself whether I think these carts would ultimately benefit or harm an equal society, I’d like to point out that the transportation company in question has issued a statement about this plan in which they say that there is no connection between the sexual assaults this article talks about and the…

Your comment that a train car that is offered optionally for women reminds you of the holocaust is quite offensive.

“Privilege” is some ivory tower bullshit that pretends to be political. It doesn’t criticize anything because it doesn’t even name what its criticizing. I’m voting for the black people in prison because of Clinton I’s tough-on-crime crap. Are those not “actual lives”? I’m voting for the innocent children bombed by…

Americans...y’all are so freaked out my bodies.

Yeah when people talk about privilege, do they ignore the stakes for brown and black people around the world? Because they’re real. They have suffered. They will suffer. The world wants Sanders to be President.

Sanders’ supporters are poor. He’s got 45 percent of the primary vote. This discussion of who’s showing…

I dunno what happened to Jezebel since I got re-grayed, but it seems that right-wing apologetics have taken over and a $350,000-per-chair fundraiser—even unholy by Republican standards—is now just “how the sausage gets made”.

Um...it’s ANGELA Merkel if you are speaking about our PM, but please don’t. Seriously, you do not know what you are talking about.

He was British. But yes, this country is also full of sexist rape apologists, too. A lot of them are cops and judges. That doesn’t absolve Germany of being in the dark ages on sexual assault law, though.

your dumb, if you can’t talk on a subject and not be racist, no shouldnt talk., you should let others speak on it. A great way for jezebel to have this discussion is to have women from these countries speak on there experiences and what can be done to change how there men view women not only in their home country, but…

Overwhelmingly, throughout Germany, the Flüchtlinge have been welcomed by the country’s citizens and processed by the understandably overwhelmed local authorities as quickly as possible. Even in small towns where space is contested already because small, housing has been found for everyone.

Wait a minute: the entire point of this article is that Germany is a country where legally women are not sufficiently protected from physical assault on public, men seem to be aware of this fact, and German men have taken advantage of this loophole, if you will, on many occasions. The culture in countries of origin of…

Would you care to substantiate this statement, please:

As a black Sanders supporter, I’m disappointed. I don’t believe that Hillary will help protect black people from institutional racism as much as Bernie would so I see this as a safety issue. It’s disappointing that Sanders couldn’t build off his momentum in Michigan more, but...
