The following news report from France discusses a program that has been implemented by the municipal government of Marseille that provides a downloadable app to be used by seaside bathers when they are harassed on the beach. When a bather sends an alarm, a “mediator” receives a signal, and sends someone (who? A cop? The reporter doesn’t say) to assist the distressed holiday-goer.
The subtext to the story is, of course, that the sexual harassment being reported is by and large perpetrated by culture-enrichers. This fact is never mentioned, but anyone who is familiar with the demography of Marseille knows that the vast majority of unwanted sexual advances are made by young men with an African or Maghrebi background.
Interestingly enough, the mediator featured in the report is himself a North African culture-enricher, and at least one of the sunbathers interviewed appears to be of African descent.

Video transcript:
| 00:00 | Sunbathing, reading in the sun, sleeping on the beach, | |
| 00:03 | the classic summer activities, but sometimes the pleasure is wasted. | |
| 00:08 | More than one out of three women, aged between 18 and 34, has already been | |
| 00:12 | a victim of harassment at the beach, according to the city of Marseille, which has launched an app | |
| 00:17 | to denounce violence in real time. As a mediator, I will automatically | |
| 00:20 | receive a notification on my phone | |
| 00:23 | Where is the victim? I will be able to see where she is. | |
| 00:27 | I will send her a message, I will take care of it. | |
| 00:30 | The victim will simply receive a notification to reassure her, | |
| 00:33 | to tell her that we will arrive in less than a minute. | |
| 00:36 | There are 15 like him to work this summer so that the beach remains a leisure space | |
| 00:40 | and a respite for everyone. A well-received initiative. | |
| 00:45 | At the beach, we feel safer and safer, we feel less of a knot in the stomach. | |
| 00:48 | Or we say to ourselves, we’re more relaxed. | |
| 00:51 | We don’t say to ourselves, we’re going to be approached, | |
| 00:54 | they are going to bother us and we’re probably going to leave the beach sooner. | |
| 00:57 | I think it’s a good thing for women and young girls who are all alone on the beach | |
| 01:02 | and who want to have a moment of relaxation without being harassed. | |
| 01:06 | To intervene, the mediators recruited by the city of Marseille | |
| 01:09 | have been trained by feminist associations. | |
| 01:12 | We are not in a gimmick, we really are in the fight against sexism and sexual assault. | |
| 01:18 | The scheme is in place this summer on four beaches in Marseille | |
| 01:22 | after a successful first test last year. |
Having a culture enricher as a responder to these alarms makes sense on several levels.
Likely they speak the same yawp as the molester/rapist so he can tell the orc to move on to a different girl without the app, or perhaps if the female is particularly comely they can then take turns raping her.
I’m surprised they didn’t send a social worker…
“we really are in the fight against sexism…”
Not quite, dear. You are in the cross hairs of Islam.
Imam Shahid Mehdi in Copenahagen explains:
“Any woman without a headscarf is asking to be raped”
one should ask himself first why it is even allowed for women to go almost naked at the beach, while the same is forbbidden in other public spaces… it has not been always like that. there was a time where there was not this kind of degenerancy spread as normalcy.
i never even understood why people stare at the sun for hours just to get tanned, it seems like torture, but that’s not my problem. except that with this excuse women have also the right to remove their tops.
actually these kind of women that want to fight sexism, portray themselves as victims, while are harassing men with explicit content; if it was just for them, they would have pretended to go half naked everywhere, just to get tanned or because it is so hot (even in winter).
in the past, when degenerancy was not normalcy, beaches for men and women were divided, and everything was fine.

of course women do not want that, they want to enter any public space and also private spaces for men only, to harass them.
Precisely.
If one doesn’t want to attract flies one shouldn’t leave the meat uncovered…
Women who parade in shared spaces barely clothed are doing this for attention and to provoke envy in other women who aren’t as attractive. They only find male attention undesirable when it comes from someone they don’t find attractive. If Fabio (in his younger years) or George Clooney were to come along and rape them they wouldn’t protest other than a token resistance.
The pendulum eventually will swing back the other direction. It wasn’t for nothing that for most of recorded history women were the property of men and their sexuality was strictly controlled. Uncontrolled it is a highly destructive force in society and whether they admit it or not, is very destructive to women if they abuse the power they have over men in their youth.
Back during the 1700’s, American men would go river swimming for exercise, naked. Then again, clothing technology wouldn’t produce a reasonable swimming suit for hundreds of years and one could usually expect a degree of privacy.
Today, doctors are split on the benefits of sunbathing. Sunshine is a catalyst for the creation of vitamin D. It also has antimicrobial properties, which may help or prevent certain skin conditions. It may also cause others.
As I get older, I start appreciating the ability to expose some skin to fresh air as part of my skincare routine.
