Mehera Bonner is a blithering idiot.

Bonner has no understanding of that which they speak.
Or is malicious.
Or stupid.
Or all three.

Some great comments there.

I enjoyed the film. It did not celebrate maleness but showed how disposable men are. Most of those men were (I assume) conscripts and it must have been a nightmare for them.

I’ve never read ‘Marie Claire’ and don’t intend to do so in the future (though I’m familiar with its cover), but my guess is that it’s an example of a certain kind of cod-sophisticated publication with an utterly shallow cod-sophisticated feminist world view aimed at an equally shallow and cod-sophisticated feminist-leaning readership.
It’s also my guess that Ms Bonner doesn’t know enough about the history of the world outside her own small gynocentric feminist box to realize that if Germany had won the Second World War – which, of course would have been followed by the imposition of Nazi-type governments all over Europe, including in Britain – any women expressing even mildly feminist views would most likely have found themselves in a concentration camp, given Nazi views on the role of women in society.
Something else these shallow, cod-sophisticated, feminists may not know is that Nazi plans for Britain included the deportation of the entire able-bodied male population aged 17 to 45 to the European mainland, thus leaving the female population to the tender mercies of their would-be Nazi overlords (and ‘overladies’ like Irma Grese).
So much for those feminists who, in their apparent ignorance of real history, would dismiss an event like Dunkirk as merely a matter of different groups of men fighting each other, with the outcome of the struggle being of little relevance to women.
To conclude this post, I saw ‘Dunkirk’ in my local cinema in Ireland last night and found it very interesting and impressive. My only quibble with the film is that it didn’t explain the wider context in which the evacuation took place, including the military events of the preceding two weeks (e.g. the German breakthrough at Sedan and subsequent drive to the English Channel) which made the evacuation necessary. However, perhaps the director had his own reasons for this omission.

Regarding the Nazis’ intention to deport the entire able-bodied male population of Britain (from 17 to 45 years of age) to the European mainland, the American historian of Germany under the Nazis, William Shirer (from whose book “the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” I obtained this information), said: “In no other conquered country, not even in Poland (which is generally considered to have experienced the harshest Nazi occupation of any country during the Second World War), had the Germans begun with such a drastic step”.
I mention this because it’s the kind of historical fact of which shallow and fatuous feminists of the kind who write for publications like ‘ Marie Claire’ are probably totally ignorant – and I suspect that attempting to educate them about such real facts of history would be a complete waste of time.

By the way, I’ve just posted a comment to the Daily Telegraph’s comments thread re their article.
