I saw her speak a few years ago at a conference I attended. She was terrible. It sounded like CNN had written her speech. It was terribly lame, the west is bad, muh racism, the patriarchy, bla, bla, bla. I was very disappointed.
Explains why she was there then, doesn’t it?
No sympathy for anyone that attends cultural garbage like that.
Well, whatever. She got shot in the face, wanted to educate women in Pakistan, and is alive. Doesn’t mean she’s smart or particularly profound. Helen Klaban survived a small plane crash in the Yukon for months by eating toothpaste mixed with boiled snow. She even wrote a book. OK. What’s she done lately, even if she’s still alive. Mere colorful or heroic biographies do not equal substance.
