Which clip was all about the clitoris.
Yes, this little baby, this clit, that sometimes elusive (to men) part of the female anatomy, was the subject of mirth in Berlin’s Bundestag. Who says the Germans don't have a sense of humour?
Not that the article said anything about the substance of the parliamentary debate that led to this clitoral humour. This chucklesome clitoris. This curiously charming clitoral comedy.
So I went in search of it.
Basically, the debate was about "violence against women and girls in Germany".
A serious subject. Treated to German mirth, thusly:Title: More Sensitive Than a ClitorisGenre: Political tragicomedyLength: One short, viral actCast:
- Kathi Gebel, Die Linke MP, women’s policy spokesperson. Quick with the comeback.
- Martin Reichardt, AfD MP. The interrupter.
- Ensemble: Bundestag members, phones recording for social media.
Logline: In a debate about protecting women, an AfD MP pushes for basic data on who is committing the crimes. A left-wing MP calls it bigotry and delivers an anatomy lesson instead.
Synopsis: Gebel argues the problem is simply “male entitlement,” full stop. She criticizes AfD motions for tracking perpetrators’ nationalities and migration backgrounds as anti-immigrant scapegoating. Reichardt interrupts. Gebel snaps: “The clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you are still more sensitive!”
Cue the Clitoral Conniptions.
A conniption (often referred to as a "conniption fit") is an informal, mostly humorous term for a sudden, uncontrolled outburst of anger, laughter, hysteria, or panic. It describes an overly dramatic temper tantrum...
Gebel corrected the number upwards (to 10,000). Laughter in the chamber. Clip goes viral.
[By the way, she's right. This Love Button does have the most number, the highest concentration, of nerves in the body. Mainly because it's so small. Which is exactly it’s
Back to the Bundestag.
Reichardt has the point. Official BKA statistics show non-Germans are 2 to 20 times overrepresented in sexual offences and violent crimes. Somali and Afghan immigrants are even higher. Not to say that they are the only groups doing this. Of course they're not. Just that the data show they do so at much higher rates than native Germans and that importing more from the same cultures will only lead to even more of the "violence against women and femicide".
Thus, collecting clear data on nationality and background is basic sense if the goal is actually reducing violence against women and girls. It lets patterns be seen and addressed. Dismissing the numbers as irrelevant is not protection — it’s performative ideology.
Who would you want setting policy to keep your daughters safe? The one asking for the facts on the ground, or the one reaching for a biology zinger to shut down the question? The exchange is funny for a moment. The refusal to face the data isn’t.
ADDED:
Gebel's Die Linke party is "The Left Party”. They are the "direct descendant of the Marxist–Leninist ruling party of former East Germany, the Socialist Unity Party of Germany...". [Ref]
Anything "Marxist-Leninist" is Kryptonite to me. I lived in China from 1976, when China was full-on Marxist-Leninist and it was horrible. Think of Marxist-Leninist East Germany, back before the Berlin Wall came down and how horrible it was. People risked their lives to climb the Wall. To the Freedom of the West.
BUT... this young woman, this Kathi Gebel, represents this LEFT Party, this Marxist-Leninist spawn, to bring Marxism-Leninism back to Germany. And going for cheap laughs before stopping against your German women.
These modern-day Marxist-Leninists know what they are doing. They know about how authoritarian and oppressive M-L societies are. And always have been. The difference between them and sane people is that they love it. They want this stuff. They love the idea of gulags, for people who don’t agree with them. Of running everything by their Five Year Plans. Of the mass corruption. Of power, of money, that comes with it. They’ll be the apparatchiks. They’ll be the ones in power.
From me: Nein, Danke, Fraulein Gebel!
Gebel’s party, and the Greens in Germany are allied with the Islamists. The Red-Green Alliance. That is, they are allied with the people who rape young German women and girls at a far higher rate that all others. Who want to cover women in Burqas and Hijabs, to shield them from the lechery of men. Who want Female Genital Mutilation, which is to say, cutting off the clitoris, that very mega-nervy thing that Gebel tells us is so damn sensitive.
Honestly, she'd be better off if, instead of telling us just how many nerves there are in this wonderful body part, if she simply answered this question for young German men:
Wo ist es denn?
