Mr President, I have no doubt that Mrs Svensson’s intentions in drafting this report were honourable, but programmes appear to have been divided up somewhat artificially on the basis of gender. Although the report highlights a number of key problems of both a general and specific nature, its particular focus on certain issues means that it discriminates against others that are no less important, and for no good reason.
It is always easier to treat a disease whose cause is known. After having studied the report, I should therefore like to draw Members’ attention to the fact that discrimination stems from a lack of respect for human rights and ethical principles, as well as from the present epidemic of mental illness. It is a symptom of self-centredness, or in other words the desire to dominate others and to subjugate them by manipulating them for one’s own purposes.
The fact that most medical workers are female, which is a problem raised in the report, does not amount to discrimination. Instead, it is a prerequisite for patients, given that women are naturally caring and sensitive to their needs. Wages that are too low to meet costs can be discriminatory, however. Economic conditions and liberal lifestyles result in discrimination against women who have children and against morally upright families. The latter provide the only environment for normal growth and co-existence in an atmosphere of mutual respect and love, and a family environment of this kind requires legal support and pro-family policies.
At the same time, destruction of the family is one of the causes of sexual promiscuity, which is a further link in the chain of infection of sexually transmitted diseases, in particular chlamydia and HIV, which cause a great deal of suffering, as well as cancer and death. Similarly, the fight waged by women for the privileges and rights due to them must not degenerate into aggressive and conflict-generating rivalry with men.
If the author is genuinely concerned about women who suffer from mental illness and addictions, then why does paragraph 21 contain covert pro-abortion propaganda? Such propaganda disregards traditional standards and results in confusion and depravity, as does the liberal-minded tolerance of deviation. Furthermore, although differences do indeed exist between the types of addiction suffered by women and men, the underlying problem is always one of self-addiction. The latter is a symptom of individual mental deficiency and of the mental illnesses known in medical parlance as self-destructive behaviours.
Violence is also a symptom of mental illness. Research carried out on people in homosexual relationships has shown that the proportion of men and women using violence is around 50% respectively. This proves that violence is not related to gender.
From a medical point of view, the proposal to administer medicines on a gender-specific basis is entirely misguided, since it is standard practice to adapt dosages to a patient’s body weight or age. Any differences in the way individual medicines need to be administered depend on individual sensitivity and sex hormones, which means that there is no justification for the EU’s innovative introduction of gender differences into pharmacotherapy."@en1
