"Madam President, I voted against the report on equality between women and men in the European Union because some legitimate areas of concern, such as equal pay for equal work, are in danger of becoming lost in the mire of Utopian political correctness.
For example, it speaks of multiple discrimination, the victims of which are immigrant women. Why is it so difficult to tell the whole truth? Why is it so difficult to say openly that what this really refers to is the subordinate position of women in Islam? It is a pretty easy thing to do, to pretend that all cultures are equal and equivalent, only then to come crying that women in Islam have to put up with a subordinate position.
Things become totally surreal when the report states that there should be perfect parity between the Vice-Presidents of Parliament. Let us just hold free elections, where everyone can participate and where people are judged according to their capabilities and their ideas, rather than according to their gender."@en1
