The Danish health minister should “get on a plane and visit” some of the thousands of women thought to be living with the consequences of being forcibly fitted with the contraceptive coil as children, Greenland’s gender equality minister has said.
In an attempt to reduce the population of the former Danish colony, at least 4,500 women and girls are believed to have undergone the medical procedure, usually without their consent or knowledge, at the hands of Danish doctors between 1966 and 1970 alone.
The total number of those affected by the procedures, thought to have continued for decades, is understood to be far higher. Victims and their lawyers say generations of Inuit women were left traumatised and suffering reproductive complications, including infertility, as a result of the Danish state’s policy.
Earlier this month, a group of 143 women sued the Danish state over the alleged violations, but they have yet to receive a response from the government, despite the Danish prime minister visiting Greenland – now an autonomous territory of Denmark – soon after.
I already did multiple times in multiple ways. If you didn’t understand the first ten times, you probably won’t now, either.
Rice paper is known for being extremely thin and delicate. That’s what I was referring to, which should have been clear from the context. That you thought it meant something racist is on you, not me.
Nope. The situation right fucking here is that you’re either more dense than a neutron star or arguing in bad faith to avoid admitting that you’re wrong.
Either way, I’ve wasted more than enough time trying to explain this to you so I’m going to let you continue to be wrong without me. Have the day you deserve.
Goodbye, White Savior. Thank you for teaching me the follies of my own experiences. I’ll kowtow and beat my head on the ground in praise of how liberal you’ve been to me.
🥱🤫
Yeah, that’s about the reaction I expected. You have fun being incredibly racist against mixed-race individuals.
Aww, you’re such a butthurt little liar! So adorable! 😂
So now I’m not even biracial according to you. Wow. Thank you for explaining that to me. I don’t know what I would do without white saviors like you.
Yet another thing I never said 🥱
Didn’t even know that it was yourself you were talking about when you brought up mixed race people until now lol.
But just to be clear: I am not denigrating mixed race people in general. I am making fun of YOU specifically because YOU specifically are BEHAVING like an idiot, which has nothing to do with race.
The options given that context are:
You were calling me a liar for accusing you of being a racist after you spent an entire comment chain telling me that mixed-race people don’t get to have a say in what is and is not offensive to them.
You were calling me a liar for claiming to be mixed-race.
Take your pick.
Bingo! Got it in one!
I did nothing of the sort, no. That only happened inside your fevered imaginings.
