ISRAELI POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

Maybe it's because I am so pro-Israel, but this bit of political correctness merely made me laugh:

"In a precedent-setting ruling that could have far-reaching implications for the funding of competitive sports in Israel, the High Court of Justice handed down a decision yesterday that local authorities must provide women's sports teams with budgets that are 150 percent higher than those received by counterpart men's teams."

More here.

Israeli professor, Steven Plaut sounds a bit more upset by it than I was. He refers to the feminists behind the matter as "the quota strumpets, also known as the radical moustache madams or bovine brethren"
