Itsenä olemisen tärkeyttä korostava kampanja on jo ehditty teilata ennen varsinaista aloitusta. Siihen liittyy feministikirjailija Chimamanda Ngozi Adichien teos, jonka ajatuksia esimerkiksi PS-nuoret eivät allekirjoita.
Julie Bindel, Guardian 25 feb 2011: "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding [the T V series] was about Gypsies and Travellers, but there was criticism from both communities that C4 failed to properly distinguish between the two. There are around 300,000 Gypsy Roma and Irish Travellers in the UK – Roma Gypsies are originally from northern India, whereas Travellers are of Irish origin – and both groups are nomadic. Since 2002, Travellers have been recognised as an ethnic group and are protected under the Race Relations Act. Last week C4 was accused by the Irish Traveller Movement in Britain of fuelling "hatred and suspicion" of their way of life and have demanded a right of reply. "

"Under 1940- och 50-talet hade Sverige hemliga planer på att utveckla kärnvapen. Det var oroliga tider och överbefälhavare Nils Swedlund ansåg att Sverige behövde en atombomb.
Debatten blev en historisk kraftmätning i svensk utrikespolitik, där det socialdemokratiska kvinnoförbundet med Inga Thorsson i spetsen spelade en viktig roll.
Tillsammans med kampanjen AMSA manade S-kvinnor regeringen att välja avspänning istället för kärnvapen. De möttes av hård kritik. Inga Thorsson och AMSA anklagades för att vara ogenomtänkta, irrationella och till och med farliga."
Do you feel that women worldwide have a better chance than men of calling attention to these forms of injustice and making some changes for the good of people and the entire living world? Yes, I do. Because I think women have more empathy, typically speaking, than men, and this is demonstrated in everyday life by just looking around us. This is one of the reasons men have kept women away from decision-making in terms of things like war. Because they knew if enough women stood up and said, “I love my son, and I love her son, and I’m not going to watch them kill one another,” then war would end. Women would have that power, if they had a voice. So I think it’s really easy to see that part of the reason women have been kept so powerless for so long is because they are a danger in the eyes of the men who run the world. Women’s input and courage and wisdom, but mostly their empathy, endangers the world that the men of the ruling class have devised.

"Reaksjonene har vært forutsigbare. Med en politisk korrekthet av verste sort har mange på venstresida tydd til alle slags strategier for å bortforklare hendelsene, for det meste med generaliseringer: Gjerningspersonenes opphavsland- og region har blitt forsøkt uvesentliggjort, det har blitt påstått at dette ikke handler om etnisitet og religion, men om menns dominans over kvinner, og det har blitt satt spørsmålstegn ved med hvilken moralsk rett overgriperne kan anklages når hvite vestlige menn begår den samme type handlinger. Er det mulig å forestille seg en mer effektiv måte å rydde veien for innvandringsfiendtlige populister som utnytter vanlige folks bekymringer på?
Dette er ikke våre ord, men en forsiktig bearbeiding av det den slovakiske marxisten Slavoj Zizek skreiv etter de tilsvarende britiske hendelsene i artikkelen «Mulitkulturalismens grenser», gjengitt i Le Monde diplomatique oktober 2014. I den engelske byen Rotherham ble 1400 barn brutalt seksuelt utnyttet av pakistanske gjenger i perioden 1997 til 2013. Barn helt ned til elleveårsalderen ble voldtatt, bortført, truet og slått av gjengmedlemmene. Flere granskingsrapporter avslørte groteske forhold som at barn ble dynket i bensin og truet med å bli påtent, truet med pistoler og tvunget til være vitne til brutale voldtekter."
