If the past week was abundant in abject examples of the hypocrisy of activists who are decidedly feminist only in name, it has been a long time since the same people forgot that in France, morality is rarely confused with straight.

While the history of feminism is a history of equality and emancipation acquired by law, neofeminism is illustrated by its extraordinary rejection of this same law.

“The Bouhafs affair” is a sad and dangerous illustration of this.

Between contempt for the presumption of innocence, careful selection of who will be guilty and who will be innocent, detestation of the police and media deterrence from filing a complaint, the "feminists" of not so rebellious France hate the law and thereby make women more vulnerable than they defend them.

So when the movement explains publicly that the Bouhafs case, which, let us remember without hesitation, is presumed innocent, has been "

" internally, it is still necessary to check what this settling of scores in the family is the name.

This "procedure" would have been carried out through the Follow-up Committee against gender-based and sexual violence of LFI, an internal commission made up of volunteer activists from the party whose web page speaks of "

" (internal), "

" (internal ), “

” (internal) but at no time to encourage victims to lodge a complaint (in the courts).

After investigation by this same commission, it would be the turn of a "

", " the

", and all this in regard to the "

".

The communication put in place by the movement following this affair reinforced the unpleasant impression that the "feminists" of LFI do not hesitate to sacrifice the cause of women on the altar of the Grand Soir.

La France insoumise must indeed, in the same way as any company (the employee party of the people), designate a referent in the fight against sexual harassment and sexist acts.

However, not only is this referent not as such a commission in charge of investigations with regard to the labor code (art. L. 2314-1), but the communication put in place by the movement following this case, has reinforced the unpleasant impression that the "feminists" of LFI do not hesitate to sacrifice the cause of women on the altar of the Grand Soir.

Thus, when Clémentine Autain explains that LFI's approach "

", that it is "

" and that we learn that the witnesses in question will not file a complaint in order not to fuel any racist attacks against Taha Bouhafs, it should still be remembered that this distinction between "good aggressors" and "bad aggressors" depending on whether or not they are in the right political camp and the fact of not taking real legal action for fear of disappointing “the Party” is not new.

Especially on the left.

This was, for example, the terrible case of Alfonsas Ceponis, a Red Army soldier and member of a group that raped and then murdered several people from a Lithuanian family whose survivors were tragically surprised to learn on the radio that few time later, and despite their complaint, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union had awarded the said Ceponis the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

At Unef, in 2009, when an activist finally dared to speak out about the multiple sexual violence taking place within the organization, she was told to keep quiet under the pretext of protecting "

" and because the We always suspect a "

".

In other words, a (possible) vote gain on the right takes precedence over a woman's trauma.

When you say you are on the left, that feminism was born in your own camp and you spend your time shouting at the moralization of French daily life under the pretext of equality between men and women, indulgence is necessarily less bet.

We will also remember the slow descent into hell of a journalist, dismissed from Télérama in 2019 for "

" which he has always denied.

Apart from any legal proceedings worthy of the name, the file had been “instructed”, in charge, by the firm Egaé, founded and co-directed by Caroline de Haas.

But in a rule of law, the law, the truth, ended up speaking and Télérama was condemned for unfair dismissal.

However, if La France Insoumise feigned surprise in the face of the facts by accusing its detractors of being hideous racists instrumentalizing this affair to their detriment in view of the legislative elections, it will be necessary to recall that even before the investiture of Taha Bouhafs, the party could not ignore the accusations of harassment that had been aimed at him in the Media for several months already, his conviction for racial insult in September 2021 as well as his tasty verbatim while delicacy towards any opponent on social networks.

And if this terrible labyrinth of silence "for the cause" is certainly not the prerogative of the left but of a large part of the political world, we will also remember that when we say we are on the left, that feminism is born in his own camp, that it is this same camp that has mostly defended him body and soul throughout the 20th century and that we spend our time shouting at the moralization of the daily life of the French under the pretext of equality men-women, indulgence is necessarily less appropriate.

The fact that these activists have constantly defended the witnesses in the Bouhafs case by adding it to the eternal “

” amounts to relativizing the attacks themselves.

If the method seems familiar it is because Mila was one of the main victims.

It has absolutely never been the role of any political force to act on this type of case, but it has always been that of justice.

This type of discourse which voluntarily mixes in the same press release two criminal offenses that are nevertheless perfectly independent of each other actually stems from the following idea: a rapist is not equal to another rapist.

Thus, in their eyes, there would be “presumed innocent on the left” whose actions should be put into perspective and “presumed guilty on the right” who should be condemned immediately.

Except that, starting from this principle, there will also be, in the eyes of these cardboard feminists, victims "from the left" (attacked by white cis males) whom they will defend and victims "from the right" (attacked by "racialized" males) which they will not care about.

But if some would have us believe that the color of the skin of the body that penetrates us counts, a rape victim is never raped by "

", a rape victim is raped.

Final point.

Here emerges another of the many misunderstandings of our law by these “neo-feminists”.

In France, the law establishes that rape consists of an "

" without the latter's consent.

No physical, religious or origin differentiation, there is no legal distinction between rapists in our country, except for the penalty which may be increased in the case of aggravating circumstances (minor, rape resulting in death, etc.).

Victim and perpetrator can be poor, rich, black, white, atheist or believer, there is simply nothing more universal than rape.

And to universal infraction, our terrible racist system has responded with universalist sanctions.

It is not known to date whether or not the internal commission of LFI ordered the witnesses to remain silent.

Nevertheless, when we base our communication addressed to women and a fortiori to online teenage girls, on the idea that filing a complaint "

" or that it can "

", thousands of women believe in it and do not will not file a complaint.

And the aggressors will start again.

And when Sandrine Rousseau wonders “

», which reminds him that it has absolutely never been the role of any political force to act on this type of case but that it has always been that of justice.

The truth.

Self-proclaiming “feminist activists” by becoming prosecutors of failing justice and then encouraging women to seek justice on their own is a particularly dangerous game.

Louise El Yafi

Because as a reminder, from Condorcet who wanted the admission of women to "

", via Olympe de Gouges and her draft Declaration of the Rights of Women and Citizens, the fight of the suffragettes for the right to vote , that for abortion, to the recognition of marital rape, equality between men and women has been a succession of inscriptions in the marble of our laws and has been built simultaneously with the construction of our rule of law.

The law is the greatest tool for the emancipation of women because, in that it creates remedies to enforce their rights before a judge, it is the very instrument of their protection as individuals and therefore of their equality. with men.

Immense progress remains to be made, the reception of victims of sexual violence in police stations is still too lacking, the training of police officers in this area remains insufficient and the compilation of evidence of offenses that are often particularly complex to demonstrate sometimes gives the whole of the criminal procedure the impression of a second violence for the women who are going to lodge a complaint.

However, it is also strange that in a State where non-assistance in danger (art. 223-6 of the Penal Code) and non-reporting of a crime (art. 434-1 of the Penal Code) are offenses, it is not There is no obligation for these "

", not to force the victim to file a complaint, but at least to advise him to do so.

And the fact of self-proclaiming "feminist activists" by becoming prosecutors of a failing justice and then encouraging women to seek justice by their own means is a particularly dangerous game whose victims will, again, be women themselves. .

But do these champions of morality remember what feminists did when the law still prohibited abortion?

They did not encourage women to go (even more) to have an abortion “

”.

They changed the law.
