But Islam is a not even a blip on the feminist radar screen, because those aren't the hated white males they're trying to tear down. The fact that the Wahhabi Muslims like the Taliban would stick them inside burqa bags and force them to live like chattel doesn't even register on their radar. That can't happen, it won't be allowed by the same males they claim to hate so much.

That's simply not true. Whatever else you want to say about feminists, they were campaigning against the Taliban's oppression of women long before 9/11. Mavis Leno, Jay's wife, was a leader in that movement.

Here's a link to a speech she gave in 1999: http://www.commonwealthclub.org/archive/99/99-04leno-speech.html

she's not really a leftist is she?

Jay Leno is very balanced in his comedy.
