Interview
Norwegian Captain Trine Otterlei
By Azad Karimi
"Kurdish women are free and respected among Kurdish men," writes Basil Nikitin.
He was the consul of Emperor Nicholas II of Russia in Urmie. His father was Russian and his mother was Polish.
Norwegian history says that Scandinavian women were as free as Kurdish women... First, a definition of the freedom of these two types of women must be provided.
The extent of their participation in social activities is a measure of their freedom.
And it is interesting that the Kurdish and Viking men were among the most militant men in history.
It is very interesting that in parallel with the freedom of women's participation in society, the level of courage and understanding of men has increased. Why? Because the difference between men and women is a natural phenomenon and that is pregnancy and childbirth in women. Not else and not more.
In communities where women are confined to their homes, the level of aggression and violence by men is very high.
The lack of women's participation in social affairs is a sign of distrust and the primitive nature of that culture.
But by studying history the presence of women in primitive societies is very high.
So! What is this thinking that wants women to disappear and if they found to come and go like ghosts?
Followers of this kind of thinking have forgotten that they lived parasitic life in the mother's womb for some time.
Fortunately, in modern-day Norway, women are in complete freedom to run their own affairs and participate fully in social activities. We had Gro Harlm Brundtland prime minister of Norway. Of course our prime minister is a woman: Ms. Erna Solberg...
Oh! I should say about our Queen, Queen Sonjia... Her majesty is painter. And I am proud!
And about bout our interview:
I asked dear Ms. Trine give me chance for participate in my Interview project. She accepted my request kindly.
She is Ship Captain… amazing job. Of course she is an original child of her ancestors: The Vikings People.
They were genius sailors who sailed to Ukraine in their warships.
I wish dear Trine a long life with happiness and lucky with her children. She is She is a worthy mother, a worthy woman, a worthy citizen and a worthy Norwegian captain.
Thank you!
