German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday described herself as a feminist, saying her position on equality between men and women had developed over the years.
“Essentially, it’s about the fact that men and women are equal, in the sense of participation in society and in life in general. And in that sense I can say, ‘yes, I’m a feminist’,” Merkel told reporters after a meeting with Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
“For me, the word ‘feminism’ is linked to a specific movement which has fought a great deal to put these issues on society’s agenda,” said Germany’s first woman leader.
It is the first time that the 67-year-old — who is scheduled to step down following a general election later this month after 16 years in power — has spoken so overtly about an issue that in the past she has been more cagey about. …

Women and men have equal rights in the USSR.This constitution ruled Merkel for a significant portion of her life, as did the 1936 constitution before that. So that would be where her views on “feminism” stem from.
Exercise of these rights is ensured by according women equal access with men to education and vocational and professional training, equal opportunities in employment, remuneration, and promotion, and in social and political, and cultural activity, and by special labor and health protection measures for women; by providing conditions enabling mothers to work; by legal protection, and material and moral support for mothers and children, including paid leaves and other benefits for expectant mothers and mothers, and gradual reduction of working time for mothers with small children.
— 1977 USSR constitution, Article 35
No, you are a communist.
You’re a kraut.
Says the lezbo.
Wow.... stop the presses. Earth shattering news. Childless East German pyscho is a feminist.
I just NEVER would have seen that coming. /s
You’re a barren witch who imported an army of Muslim rapists to plague your young German women. Feminist, my butt!
She’s an East German feminist...that’s a special kind if feminist...the kind that’s fed huge doses of testosterone when she’s competing in international sporting events.
Mooooooslims LOVE women-——in burqas, you Commie fool!
“feminist” ?
I thought she was a Commie Lezbo.
Prove me wrong...
She is a feminist like the Russian women in the Wendy’s commercial.
Ich bin ein communist.
She looks like one…
at lest you aren’t a mother...
No, Angie, you’re a fat dyke. It pains me to think that my blood brethren and sistern in Germany may have voted to keep your fat ass in office as long as you’ve been.
She is such a feminist she imported millions of violent third world africans and muslims to rape and assault European white women.
Svimvear….
She’s just another tribal person (in this case a woman) going TRIBAL and thus putting her tribe above all else.
I’ve now reached the point of not trusting anyone who can go tribal, just too many bad experiences both seeing it in politics and seeing it in my own personal life. If they ‘look like America’ rather than ‘look like me’, I minimize my contact with them. If they are BLM supporters, they also don’t get any tips from me. Payback time.
She is a bull dyke too.
