DISINFO: NATO frighten European women with the idea that the Russians will come and rape them
SUMMARY
NATO as Russia’s enemy is interested in terrorising European women with the idea about those who would rape them. Well, of course, it will be an aggressor. Who is the main aggressor for NATO today? Well, of course, it’s Russia. The Russians will come and rape all of you.
RESPONSE
Sexual threats is a recurring theme of pro-Kremlin disinformation. On December 10, NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg and actress Angelina Jolie stated that they have joined forces to project the alliance as a progressive role model for gender politics and a “leading protector” of women’s rights starting a joint mission to secure the “fundamental promise in the UN Charter of equal rights and dignity for women.” Stoltenberg/Jolie’s article does not say a word about Russia. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/dec/10/why-nato-must-defend-womens-rights )
