Not For Sale

Icelands-Prime-Minister-J-001.jpg

Johanna Siguroardottir is Iceland's first female and the world's first openly lesbian head of state.

Iceland just passed a law banning all strip clubs, making it the first country to ban stripping for feminist rather than religious reasons. The tiny country has a strong women's movement and the world's first openly gay head of state, and almost half its politicians are women.

"It is not acceptable that women or people in general are a product to be sold." - Kolbrún Halldórsdóttir, the politician who first proposed the ban.

Good for her. The so-called Progressives in this country have proven they don't give a damn about women's rights or even the fact that gross oppression of women exists in this country. Guess they're only "progressive" in some areas and about some issues. Hypocrites!!!

Progressives in this country would label you an uptight, sex-negative feminist or a member of the religious right if you tried to ban strip clubs here.
