Yep! Feminists can't acknowledge the real suffering of women in those countries. They would jeapordize their own chances to score petty points in the US.
Feminists know that mentioning the severe conditions of those women would expose the truth that they themselves are whiners, who make some pretty silly demands for themselves.
Feminism means you never have to say you're grateful.
Thank you for the ping, chance33_98!
From the black, loose-fitting chador of Iran to the dense, gridlike facial veil on the body-enveloping burqa in Afghanistan, the veiling of Islamic women has fueled fierce debate within feminist circles about the perceived role of the hijab - roughly translated as the Islamic dress code for women - in enforcing gender exclusion and inequality.
... "Veil," University of Southern California anthropology professor Fadwa El Guindi [a woman] lays out a fresh but sometimes one-sided analysis of some of the multifaceted uses and meanings of the veil (and other, modest Islamic dress) in Arabic-speaking Muslim societies. ...
El Guindi alludes, ever so briefly, to the harsh impact of the law on women's lives. But she abruptly and simplisticly reframes the issue as a matter of ultimate empowerment for women: "The enforcement of hijab can be as empowering as its ban," writes El Guindi. "While it undoubtedly restricts some women, it emancipates others by legitimizing their presence in public life."
