Yeah, Ben, I know what you mean. Next stop for them will be “The View”.
I certainly share some of your cynicism, but I see complaints all the time on FR and elsewhere that Muslims aren’t speaking out. Here we have women that do not have much support in these cultures at all, to say the least, even the ones living in the West, and we have to be snarky about them trying to make a difference in a male-dominated, horrfically violent culture? I hope they don’t turn into Western-type feminists, but I can support them for some basic human rights and dignity and life even though I come from a different mindset and part of the world. And so far, I don’t see the Sandra Flukes of the world tackling these real problems that are facing women in these backward cultures. And to be honest, I hope they don’t. Their mindset needs to be stomped out as fervently as the Islamic mindset.
