German FM prepares feminist blitz

(RT) ⸻ Green Party leader Annalena Baerbock has put together a platform for "feminist foreign policy," which will infuse gender issues into everything from humanitarian aid and energy to climate change. The 80-page report outlines 10 principal guidelines, including offering "gender-sensitive" humanitarian aid, involving "women and marginalized groups" in economic development, and considering the "gender issues" dimension of climate and energy policies. Baerbock also wants to create a new post of "ambassador for feminist foreign policy." By her definition, feminism policy is not just for women, but also for those "marginalized by society on the basis of gender identity, origin, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation or other reasons." Baerbock's Greens are currently in the "traffic light coalition" with Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats and the Free Democrats. Bavarian PM Markus Soeder has called on Scholz to sack Baerbock due to her un-diplomatic gaffes in relation to the conflict in Ukraine. In August 2022, Baerbock infamously told an EU conference in Prague that she intended to deliver on her promises to Ukraine "no matter what my German voters think." Last month, she said EU members should not fight among themselves, since "we are fighting a war against Russia." In mid-February, she told the Munich Security Conference that Moscow's policy needed to "change by 360 degrees," prompting former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to dub her a "connoisseur of geometry."
