This article personifies what I find disgusting about feminism. In this article we see a human being who is utterly horrified by the cruel and barbaric acts being perpetrated against the non-Arab women of Sudan.

As the author puts it, "the damage to a woman's self-esteem and sanity is impossible to calculate."

I'm certain that's true.

But I'm equally certain that no man will write an article about all the men being massacred in Sudan, and how agonizing it is to be hacked to death with machetes, and how cruel it is to be deprived of life at a young age... and then just leave it at that... as though the gang-rapes and the broken bones don't count because that's the stuff that's happening to the women.

No man would do that. How does anyone write an article about what's going on in Sudan and focus entirely on the pain and suffering of the women and girls while the men are being hacked to death with machetes? I know how she does that. She objectifies male humans as ciphers that don't matter. Are they being killed? Who cares?

No matter what anyone tells you, this is ultimately where feminism goes. It is group- and class-consciousness carried to the point of treating others as sub-human. It is the sexual version of the Aryan Nation. And here it is, in all its bigoted glory, ignoring the literal butchering of human beings, because they aren't her kind of human beings.

This is true. Also, young boys are taken as sex slaves and raped, gang raped, sexually tortured, etc ... and forced to fight against their own people on threat of more torture and rape.

The scale of the atrocitied going on is mind-boggling.

But to be fair, NO ONE is really talking about these things either. The silence is deafening. I'd say the extreme apathy towards all the misery going on in Sudan is pretty gender nuetral.
