"This does not help our societies"

Morrissey does not keep his thoughts, and because of this is often considered a controversial artist. To give an example: a few months ago, when Kevin Spacey suffered repudiation from around the world, he was one of the few to come and support him.

And now, add one to your list of (at least) controversial sentences. On the occasion of the upcoming tour of the album "Low In High School", which will go through Chile and Argentina (December 7 in Buenos Aires), the Briton granted an interview at La Tercera middle of the trans-Andean country. He spoke about political issues: he criticized the left of his country and notably denounced the feminist movement.

"All the print media are controlled by the left, who do not want open debate or different opinions," he added. "The left is closed and works very hard to maintain a culture of denial.If you do not agree with the left, you are slain in the press to be a racist fanatic, your audience is ridiculed and everything is done to silence you, "said Morrissey, who according to him has the press in his country against him. his statements on Brexit, Immigration and Multiculturalism ("I want Germany to be German and France to be French," he said in 2017).

But what most caught the attention of this interview was its way of referring to feminism a movement that has spread in all regions in recent years, focusing on flags like # niunamenos or #metoo in Hollywood.

"Modern feminism is not the same [que el que él conoció a sus 14 años] because it seems to aspire to" all that men do ", and that seems to be enough, so it becomes a great success, by example: the power to have a women's soccer team or a group of girls in a scout club. "

He continued:" The original goal of feminism was to evolve towards an intellectual plane. higher, but now he seems to want to occupy only masculine positions and suffer male aggression, he does not help our societies and, on the contrary, he makes masculinism take retaliation. "

Strong and ambiguous statements have already earned him repudios in Chile and in our country, especially with regard to the alleged" reprisals "to which he referred.
