Viviane Reding answers

Viviane Reding is the European public enemy no 1 these days. With her courageous attitude, she became hated by all conservatives. In their critique of that woman, they are bringing all the patriarchal stereotypes into the debate of Roma exclusions.

Reding's answer to that masculinist reaction is brilliant. Her answer from Strasbourg: “You see, if a man in politics puts the fist on the table, that’s “male”, he defends himself. If a woman puts a fist on the table, she is hysterical, okay? That’s why we have the gender equality question on the table today!”
