"Emma" slander: Sascha Lobo named "sexist man alive".

Every year, the magazine »Emma« awards a negative prize to a man whom it regards as particularly sexist. The 2022 winner is Sascha Lobo, a SPIEGEL columnist among other things, for statements on the subject of prostitution.

Alice Schwarzer's "Emma" editors have proclaimed Sascha Lobo the "Sexist Man Alive 2022".

The blogger and SPIEGEL columnist is the most misogynist man of the year for the feminist magazine.

This is justified by the fact that Lobo played down the exploitation of women through prostitution in the NDR program "deep and clear".

On the talk show, Huschke Mau reported on how, as a young girl without a home, she was tricked into working as a prostitute by a pimp.

She processed her painful experiences in the book »Dehumanized – Why we have to abolish prostitution«.

On the show, Lobo spoke out against a ban on prostitution because it would make sex work illegal and make things even worse for women.

Human trafficking and forced prostitution are already banned, but continue to take place, argued Lobo.

He also opposed counting any money-related sex as rape.

An increasingly heated discussion developed, at the end of which Mau left the show in protest at the attitude of the "privileged people" in the studio.

Lobo expressly regretted that.

The "deep and clear" team apologized after the show.

According to »Emma«, Lobo is said to have tried to lecture Mau

»Emma« accuses Lobo of wanting to teach a woman who has experienced prostitution first hand.

"Lobo (...) robs the only knowledgeable woman of the group of any space to talk about the devastating system of prostitution, which almost killed her herself." In their justification for the award, the "Emma" editors write: " On behalf of this Berlin bubble and woke wannabe opinion pollsters who preach 'sex-positive' Newspeak in the name of feminism, we hereby appoint Sascha Lobo Sexist Man Alive 2022!«

Lobo criticizes the signal effect of the price

Sascha Lobo already commented on the award of the abusive prize – and defended his position: »I am a feminist, but obviously represent a different feminism than Alice Schwarzer's magazine 'Emma'.

As I say in the television program I mentioned and unfortunately seems to have ignored 'Emma', my position on prostitution is 100% congruent with, for example, the German Women's Council or the Diakonie," he told SPIEGEL.

He also attributed the award to a podcast in which he criticized Alice Schwarzer's position on the Ukraine war.

»Unfortunately I have to fear that my public advocacy for the rights of trans people and especially trans women as well as my podcast in May entitled ›Alices Schwarzers Lumpen-Pazifismus‹ played a role in the award ceremony.

In this respect, the award is not aimed at me at all, but at other people with the signal: Under no circumstances get involved in feminist sex workers and trans women.«

Every year, the US magazine »People« chooses the »sexiest man alive«, the man with the greatest sex appeal.

In allusion, »Emma« determines the sexiest man of the year (sexist without a second E).

Before Sascha Lobo, the negative prize went to Pope Francis because of discrimination against women in the Catholic Church (2021), because of lewdness in a speech to FDP leader Christian Lindner (2020) and because of misogynistic texts to the rapper Kollegah (2019).
