UK: Feminist Student President Defends Moslem Segregation of Women

It’s almost like feminism has nothing to do with the abstract and retarded notion of “women’s rights” and is instead merely about attacking White men.

Breitbart:

The ‘feminist’ president of the Students’ Union at a top British university has defended an Islamic Society event where men and women were segregated by a 7-foot tall barrier, despite the practice being illegal on UK campuses.

The Islamic society at the London School of Economics (LSE) hosted the banquet off campus to get around the law, and the elected student leader seemed to support them doing so.

General Secretary of LSE Students’ Union Nona Buckley-Irvine — who is not a Muslim and claims to be a feminist — attended the event and said the “brothers and sisters” were “relaxed and comfortable” and newspapers who reported the facts were “islamophobic”.

“…Where groups would like to organise themselves in a way that fits with their religious, cultural and personal beliefs, both genders consent, and there is no issue, I have no problem”, she said.

According to The Times she added: “It is not for me to decide what is right or wrong with our Islamic society and they are one of the most inclusive societies I have ever worked with.”

An LSE spokesman confirmed that while it would be illegal to segregate events on LSE property, the dinner was held off-campus. They also said LSE would be raising the issue with the Islamic society and the Students’ Union. The spokesman said:

“LSE follows the [Equality and Human Rights Commission] guidance on this matter, and regards gender segregation at events on campus or organised by LSE or the LSE community as contrary to the law, except for certain exceptions such as occasions of religious worship or where segregation is entirely voluntary.

“This dinner was a private function, off-campus, and organised by a society of the Students’ Union, which itself is a legally separate body to LSE.”
