German MP Kathrin Gebel puts an interrupting misogynist in his place:

Video: 


TRANSLATION: 

No strategy against violence, but rather an Excel spreadsheet for your hate-mongering. Violence is reduced to ethnic origin, and responsibility is simply offloaded onto others. Murders committed by Germans—you don't care about those. And you want to sell this to us as an act of care. But I can tell you: absolutely no one here is buying that. Because the women sitting here know exactly which men one needs to watch out for when stepping into the
parliamentary community here.

Every motion concerning women...(the man continued interrupting her, so she put him in his place)*** So, Mr. Reich, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and yet you are more sensitive. That really takes some doing. If you’re going to submit such a lousy motion, then you have to be able to take the criticism that comes with it.*** Seriously. Every motion related to women, every minor interpellation you’ve introduced in the Bundestag, exploits the issue solely to curtail someone’s rights.

The AfD does not protect women. It fights against their self-determination. You attack reproductive rights, preach a vision of the family straight out of the 1930s, and get nervous when women, queer people, or migrant women simply decide for themselves. Honestly, the wolf in sheep’s clothing has rarely been so poorly disguised. Anyone who truly wants to protect women does something completely different. Reliably fund women's shelters, fully implement the Istanbul Convention, strengthen prevention and work with perpetrators, build up digital protection against violence, and create a more independent right of residence, so that protection doesn't end with one's residency status, close the income gap between men and women.

Seriously, your motion doesn't protect a single woman; it only protects your racist egocentrism.
