You know, this is something i quote very often, cause its one of these historical ironies that still provoce some semi-insane laughter from me.
"French woman told they're longer no allowed to enter cafes, shops or to go out"
An increase in the influence of women in public life has often been associated with national decline. The later Romans complained that, although Rome ruled the world, women ruled Rome. In the tenth century, a similar tendency was observable in the Arab Empire, the women demanding admission to the professions hitherto monopolised by men. ‘What,’ wrote the contemporary historian, Ibn Bessam, ‘have the professions of clerk, tax-collector or preacher to do with women? These occupations have always been limited to men alone.’ Many women practised law, while others obtained posts as university professors. There was an agitation for the appointment of female judges, which, however, does not appear to have succeeded.
Soon after this period, government and public order collapsed, and foreign invaders overran the country. The resulting increase in confusion and violence made it unsafe for women to move unescorted in the streets, with the result that this feminist movement collapsed. The disorders following the military takeover in 861, and the loss of the empire, had played havoc with the economy. At such a moment, it might have been expected that everyone would redouble their efforts to save the country from bankruptcy, but nothing of the kind occurred. Instead, at this moment of declining trade and financial stringency, the people of Baghdad introduced a five-day week.
- Sir John Glubb, the Fate of Empires, page 15.
Towards weak men bitches nag and complain and accuse. As soon the Barbarians show up and with them the threat of physical force, they fall back into a primal survival strategy of "Oh nooo, I never wanted to go out anyways just please don't hit me and don't kill my offspring".
These neurotic sluts refused to raise strong men, while the barbarians raise three generations of surplus sons within a time where the lazy, fat and domesticated westerner can barely produce one. The fear Eurocucks have of those horrors, seeing their sons cutting off heads and bashing little babes heads in with rifle stocks and doing what needs to be done from time to time, is greater for them then losing their public spaces, their territory to foreigners while they just bite, and bite, and bite away piece by piece. Now they have to pay the price. No cafè for you in this town, madame.

I agree, this is absolutely hilarious. Glubb is vindicated again.
France has a rich history of revolution. I wouldn't be surprised if the anti-Enlightenment revolt erupted there first, in spite of, or perhaps because of, the best efforts of LICRA. No longer available on YouTube:

To be sure, those Maghrebi will have to go back whence they came, but I did sympathize with their wish to own the territory. It wasn't centuries ago when bars were in fact sex-segregated, for the benefit of both.
Bite hard on that pillow!
