Feminist terrorist on trial in Germany

The last member of the feminist terrorist organisation Rote Zora in currently on trial in Germany. The Guardian reports:

But after almost 20 years on the run, Adrienne Gershäuser admitted in court yesterday to her involvement in a 10-year assault by the militant feminist group Rote Zora.

One of the last remaining members of the leftwing group, Gershäuser yesterday told the Berlin court in a statement read by her lawyer that she had "wittingly and willingly" taken part in the bombing of a bio-technology institute and a clothing factory. An offshoot of the Revolutionary Cells, which formed in Frankfurt am Main in the early 70s, Rote Zora unleashed a wave of bomb attacks across Germany, focusing on sex shops, embassies and clothing factories which the group considered responsible for female oppression.

I think it is noteworthy how much feminism has accomplished vithout violence, compared to many other progressive movements. Even Rote Zora always took care of avoiding harm to humans in its strikes. When men are systematically targeted for violence because of their gender, it is done by other men. A quote from Andrea Dworkin is appropriate here:

Have you ever wondered why we are not just in armed combat against you? It's not because there's a shortage of kitchen knives in this country. It is because we believe in your humanity, against all the evidence.
