For Feminism, a Moscow advocacy group, bestowed the dubious title of 2014's "Sexist of the Year" on this Russian publicist on Thursday.
Yegor Kholmogorov is a contributing editor for Russian Observer, according to his public Facebook profile. The Moscow Times identified him as a prominent publicist and co-chair of the Conservative Press Club.
The competition for this year's award was stiff. To win, he had to beat out a Russian politician who ordered his assistant to rape a female journalist.
But the voters in For Feminism's online poll have spoken. A few choice thoughts about women that Kholmogorov posted to Facebook last year helped him net the prize.
"I think that when we occupy America, we'll publish a secret decree that allows American men who hear the word 'sexism' to punch [women] in the face."
"And we'll watch the best videos of the scene."
"P.S. They say it's not proper to hit women in the face."
"Once she's said the word 'sexism,' a woman ceases to be a woman and becomes a subject of a second gender."
