“Feminist Foreign Policy” – Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock recently acknowledged this. But what does that actually mean? The scientist and activist Kristina Lunz explains how this style of politics is supposed to prevent wars and make the world a fairer place.
To be honest, all wars in world history have one common denominator: they were started by men. Men hungry for power, men lusting for violence, jealous men, megalomaniac men, men whose masculinity has been violated. Why Putin started the war in Ukraine remains a mystery, but we now know that he likes to present himself as an ultra-masculine man who fights bears and has a black belt. What would be good for the whole international cooperation: A little less masculinity. And this is exactly where Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who has committed herself to so-called feminist foreign policy, comes in.
In episode 248 of “important today” explains the political scientist, activist and author Kristina Lunz what this is all about. She says the focus is primarily on disarmament: “Patriarchy also means the normalization and impunity of male violence. And violence is most efficiently carried out through guns. That is why feminists have recognized arms disarmament as their main goal in foreign policy, because this is the only way to build more stable and secure societies.” She is also convinced that we will not be able to end wars in the long term “with the violence and weapons they cause.” Feminist foreign policy means a better world for all people, but there is still a long way to go.

Almost four million Germans have never been on the Internet
Would you still be able to find your way around today without Google Maps, book a train journey without the internet, or know what gelotophobia is without looking it up on Wikipedia (the fear of being laughed at)? No? What seems perfectly natural to the vast majority of people is terra incognita for almost four million people in Germany.
According to the Federal Statistical Office, six percent of Germans between the ages of 16 and 74 have never been on the Internet, that is around 3.8 million people. The proportion is greatest among the over 65 year olds, there are 21 percent who have never been on the Internet, among the under 55 year olds it is still three percent of all Germans. By the way, in a European comparison, Germany doesn’t do so badly at all. In Greece the proportion is 20 percent, in Sweden it is one percent. One person who tends to stay away from the internet is actually Vladimir Putin. He is said to have interesting articles printed out because he doesn’t like going online himself. Maybe also because he only gets a reflection of what kind of person he is.
