The feminist movement was supposed to be about equality of rights for women.
It was supposed to be about freeing women from male domination.
It was supposed to be about empowering women as individuals, and enabling them to attain their full potential.
Maybe feminists were never really committed to these goals at all. Maybe the whole thing was a stepping stone to something else. Whatever the case may be, we have a pro-Sharia hijabi, Linda Sarsour, leading the Women’s March on Washington, and another, Hamas-linked CAIR’s Zahra Billoo, speaking at the Women’s Convention.
Islamic law directs men to beat disobedient women, devalues women’s testimony and inheritance rights, allows for polygamy and the sex slavery of infidel women. It justifies honor killing and female genital mutilation.
Feminists ought to be on the front lines fight against Sharia encroachment in the West, and jihad terror. Instead, feminists stand in proud solidarity with Sharia supremacists. Why are there Hijab Days at colleges and elsewhere, instead of days to stand with women who are brutalized for not wearing the hijab? Why do feminist meetings feature pro-Sharia speakers, instead of courageous women who have left Islam, such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Nonie Darwish, and Wafa Sultan?
Find out just how odd this phenomenon is, and what it portends, in my new book Confessions of an Islamophobe. In it, I set out why everyone who is really in favor of women’s rights should firmly oppose Sharia. But few do, for fear of charges of “Islamophobia.”
Mad? Yes. Self-contradictory? Undoubtedly. Self-defeating? Absolutely. Find out why in Confessions of an Islamophobe, the book to give to every woman who considers herself a feminist. Preorder your copy here now.

Sarsour picture should be circulated all over the net , make postesr of her + post them every where the heading would be Linda Sarsour supports Isis and on and on. Send it out to all the womans associations. with a little time and effort and some $ and the right people you could put her out of business .

I wonder for a Long time by now what is going wrong with the feminst movement. I have called myself a Feminist for a Long time because I believe in equal rights for all humans. But the dominant so-called feminists today are – in my opinion – no feminists at all. They are genderizing globalsts who misuse feminism to Keep the majority of women quiet. They imply that a woman who demands equal rights for herself must stand in line with Islam – whyever they must.
I don´t understand it and I stll hope that the western women will stand up for our traditions and our rights – because if we give in to Islam the “infidel” women will be the first to learn the hard way about Sharia.
andra says
I apologize for the capitals in the text, it´s the self-correction of the program and I sometimes miss some spellings.

Andra, the so-called Feminists are actually post-modern neo-Marxists using feminism to manipulate women and hoodwink them into following Marxism and goose-stepping to the Marxist agenda.
They are more concerned about Marxist Utopia than feminism.
maghan says
Wrong. Where in the 3 vols. of Capital does Marx talk of this feminist nonsense. It’s really deranged liberalism gone wild.
Gen Jones says
Genderizing globalists – great description! I agree with your comment, Andra.

The entire liberal agenda is just satanic riven to remove G-d from our daily lives and destroy the family and weaken Western Civilization so the Neo Bolshevik Globalist can establish their NWO with THEM having ALL the power and the sheeple left alive to be their serfs.
Barbara says
The feminist movement started in the 60’s. It has morphed into what we see today. It never was about equal pay for equal work. That is just a catch phrase. Look into the leaders of the feminist movement and look into their socialist beliefs that is their beliefs. Socialism by degrees has destroy democracies and freedoms in so many areas. The ‘equality’ was the start and was built on to what we have today.
Jen says
I think it was more about tie dyeing their t-shirts and “free love” hook ups with radical lefty men. They just parroted the same garbage they heard from Gloria Steinem, Jane Fonda, and the women from Australia who’s name escapes me. Feminists are thee most irritating women on the planet. My mother-in-law who’s in her 80’s get’s on her feminist soap box on occasion. She never held a job of course. Stayed at home and spent her husbands money. They drive me crazy.
Blackcat Mendoza says
Australian Marxist hypocrite Germaine Greer.
In 1965 when I was 18 I frequented a Dockside Pub (Bar) in Sydney Australia which was the stamping ground of the Sydney “Push”, a Marxist/Beatnik group which grew out of the Marxist School of (Social Engineering)Philosophy at Sydney Uni. As the evenings grew longer and the patrons got drunker it wasn’t uncommon to see a “liberated” female pulling a train on a table in a back room, with a line of intellectual and cultured dirty smelly and hairy gentleman waiting their turn with beers in hand. I was initially shocked and embarrassed, but after reading Kerouac I had a naive need to identify with the “Beatnik” (pre-Hippie) movement and the exciting alternatives it offered after growing up in a boring stilted and repressive Australian Middle Class Suburban world.
I remember this “Feminist” as a very attractive, but loud and foul-mouthed individual holding Court at the bar, When, a few years later, Greer helped start the Feminist Movement in Australia, I mentioned all this to my Mother, and she sneered and snorted about the new “Fake Feminism”. My Mother was an educated strong independent woman who never needed a “Movement” to establish herself and her talents in the hard and demanding Male-dominated business environment of the times.
So, where was the Feminist when these events were occuring? This hypocrite is now a respected and mature Granny tending her flowers, and soaking up the limelight of her fake “Femininsm”. Just another example of the fakeness of the whole Marxist-inspired contemporary SJW movement.
mortimer says
Present-day feminists have sold out their supposed principles in favor of neo-Marxism.
Post-modernism declares that independent thought is oppression. And so, they have a clear path to indoctrinate everyone with neo-Marxism. They teach feminism in the West, but in Muslim countries, it’s fine to be misogynistic as much as you like. No asks if the women in those countries chose to be oppressed. The Muslims are strategic allies of neo-Marxism, even though Islam is a DISTINCT POLITICAL IDEOLOGY in COMPETITION WITH MARXISM.
This holding two conflicting thoughts in the mind at the same time is called ‘cognitive dissonance’. How will the tension be resolved? Stalin resolved it by betraying the Islamic allies and then shipping large numbers to Siberia as exiles and gulag prisoners.
The deeper structure of this contradiction is that they are spouting the post-modernist, Marxist party line… namely, that one may not criticize the strategic allies of the vanguard of the proletariat until those allies are no longer useful. When these neo-Marxists have achieved power first Islam and then feminism will be abandoned as unnecessary to maintaining control of the Gulag-paradise.
Gen Jones says
Great analysis as always, Mortimer.
Blackcat Mendoza says
Ditto!
mgoldberg says
All ‘utopianisms’ have the fatal flaw which is that others must follow their lead. That is a simplification but the keystone is that both Islam, commands such, and marxism, commands such. They see the world as needing erasure and they approve of other systems as long as they can squeeze them into ‘oppressed’ categories.
The Point: if thinking is outlawed, if freedom of expression is outlawed, minimized and individual rights become negligible or worse- erased, then these ‘utopian’ systems all have the same goal and advantages.
We, have stopped thinking, stopped demanding individual rights, and free expression.
As they become more violent, more authoritarian, less willing to allow freedom of expression and individual rights- only then will the majority of people realize what a pile of bovine fertilzer they’ve been sold Only then, will the fight for the above values commence, but sadly, why should it have to ever take that long for our society to understand the unbelievable threat to Liberty, freedom, rights, and a society that gives these to it’s citizens.
Tony Porcaro says
Yes, but most likely it will be Islam that will be the ruling power with the neo-Marxists and feminists the subdued lackeys who will be nothing less than Islamic slaves….assuming that they are allowed to survive at all!
Mac-101 says
I believe the Globalist will use Islam as the forced religion of the Beast. It fits Revelation perfectly. It would be extremely bloody to reverse Europe’s continued accelerated march to Islam today, let alone in 10 more years.
Monty says
I agree. My late friend and mentor saw this coming in the mid 1970’s, just after the 1973 war against Israel. He had a vision of a black mist rising from the ground and covering the earth. Can it be reversed? Maybe. The only hope is for God’s people to quit playing church and get real with God. Repent! Anyone been to church in Laodicea or Ephesus lately? No. They were overcome instead of overcoming. The modern church is facing a similar destiny in the Western world. I believe that it is not inevitable and it is not too late. But it’s getting more difficult every day.
Monty says
I’d be surprised if Islam does not come out on top in this battle. It reminds me of the conflict between Stalin and Hitler, both murderous dictators who would stop at nothing to achieve their aims. Initially they had a pact, broken by Hitler. Islam is way more powerful than Marxism. If, as I expect, Islam merges with the Roman Catholic organisation, half the world will be under its control. As Muslims outbreed westerners, the take over will be demographic, even democratic.
gravenimage says
Some Catholic leaders–including, sadly, the current pontiff–have been blind to the threat of Islam.
But Catholicism is *nothing* like the horror of Islam. They cannot “merge”–the only thing that could happen would be for Islam to conquer the Catholic Christian world.
Gen Jones says
I wonder about this myself. I grew up in the era of Ms magazine, read Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan, Germaine Greer, Kate Millet (who has a remarkable memoir about the Iranian revolution) etc., as a teen/ young woman and consider myself a feminist. But the original ideals of the movement – which I see as equal opportunity and an equitable society – have been politicized and deconstructed to the point that “intersectionality” and victim culture replaces common sense. Yes there’s a hierarchy of oppression and women should recognize that their experiences differ based on their economic standing, race and culture but that’s why it’s imperative to work together. But as many movements that have reached mainstream acceptance, the next step seems to be a breaking apart. As was fashionable my college classes society was critiqued through the lens of Marxist Didacticism, which although annoying – every book and film was revealed to be a treatise on capitalism – it had limits on its influence, it was theoretical. Then Semiotics and Deconstruction were the ideas of the day and everything – and I mean everything! was ripe for some PhD hopeful to “unpack” to death. A lot of the classic second wave feminist writers (as well as the classical canon because old white men) were swept aside for a more “diverse” and “inclusive” curriculum. So criticism and the ability to point out the injustices of the world replaced reading literature or studying history which actually teach you the most important thing in life, which is that it is unfair. A few generations of this approach has resulted in ignorant people vying for virtue points by embracing diversity without knowing anything about cultures – in particular the wonder and uniqueness of their own. Social justice types in media call out and insult women whom they consider to have more “privilege” so it’s more important to keep your mouth shut and let hijabis and transwomen speak for feminism. There’s an inability to see the contradiction let alone the inherent misogyny in this attitude.

Why has feminism sold its soul to Islam? The same reason that many men have done so. Part of it is the Stockholm Syndrome on a society-wide scale. Another part stems from the blind spots of leftism. Another part is that so many people today are so comfortable, soft, and rich, with every aspect of life taken care of by corporations and government and science, that too few people are willing to rouse themselves from their stupors of comfort, entertainment, and pleasure, or take any risks for principles — like freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. Combine that comfortable stupor, with leftist blindspots and society-wide Stockholm Syndrome, and you have a perfect storm breaking over the world’s liberal democracies and everyone who cares about freedom.
gravenimage says
Grimly, this is largely the case.
Benedict says
Why has feminism sold its soul to Islam? –
“Self-love lies at the basis of love, but at its peak its paradoxical passion wills its own downfall.” (Kierkegaard – Philosophical Crumbs)
Self-love is certainly foundational to feminism and Islam is a readymade ideology for the destruction of feminism. So maybe feminists are into a perverse game of “fifty shades of green” in agreement with Kierkegaard’s dictum?
eduardo odraude says
People today often unconsciously substitute self-hatred for love of the other. But self-hatred is a counterfeit of love of other. Self-hatred, self-effacement, may seem to grant recognition or kindness to the other, but in fact is often really just an extension of self-obsession and pays little real attention to the specific character of the other. The other is always better. That is the part of American anti-Americanism that is pathological. Self-hatred signifies that a battle between love and selfishness has been fought, and selfishness has won for the time being, but the self-obsessed person doesn’t clearly see that, and imagines that his/her self-hatred is noble love of other.
Mockingjay says
Very interesting analysis, eduardo.
Benedict says
“People today often unconsciously substitute self-hatred for love of the other.” –
And the other side of the coin: People today often unconsciously substitute self-love for love of the other:
St. Paul:
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be *lovers of their own selves* ….”
Jesus:
“If any man come to me, and hate not …..his own life …, he cannot be my disciple.”

Westman says
It’s very simple. Feminists only make public castigations, within packs, of men from a position of safety. Castigating Muslim men would bring violence and death threats; actions from which they would not have adequate protection. Castigating Western men results in apologies and group-enforced correction.
Feminists know the Quran sanctions the beating of wives; feminist leaders know the most vocal critic of Muslim men’s Quran-based behavior is Pamela Geller – who must have 24hr armed protection to remain living.
Linda Sasour bought the “new” feminist movement by organizing the platform, time, and place for the venting, which was mostly vulgar diatribes against the POTUS by useful idiots. Where are the leaders who should have emerged? There is no viable Feminist Movement.
Who knows? Maybe a real feminist movement will emerge via the current Hollywood sex abuse furor – unlikely since the abuse originated in “celebrity feminist” land.
gravenimage says
Actually, I think most feminists know next to nothing about Islam.
Cornelius says
Robert rhetorically asks why? We all know the answer. It goes back to the early 90s and NOW’s firing of Tammy Bruce for organizing a protest in Los Angeles against domestic violence during the OJ trial. She dared take down “a strong black man”.
So it is, RACE TRUMPS GENDER in the left-wing grievance pecking order. Islam is not a race, but it might as well be in the myopic world-view of the left.
If Islam is antithetical to gender-equality and human freedom….and we all know it is….then the entire edifice of the multicultural narrative – that all cultures are equally valid – comes crashing down. All cultures AREN’T created equal…so the left contorts reality…Islam is “progressive”….and the multicultural narrative marches on. The reason multiculturalism is sacrosanct is because it is the vehicle the left is using to destroy Western civilization.
Islam is sanctified by the left for the following reasons (in their order of importance)….
…with obvious exceptions, the majority of the world’s Muslims are….
1) non-white
2) anti-Amercan
3) poor
These three comprise the Holy Grail of the left-wing religion.
Ed Lee says
But, as David Wood has pointed out, Mohammed was a white guy. So white in fact, that it is mentioned conspicuously in several of the Hadith. Is the left ignorant of this fact, or do they depend on the world’s ignorance of it?
eduardo odraude says
Not just several hadith, but many — perhaps a dozen canonical hadith describe a part of Muhammad’s body as “white.” Almost every part of his body is referred as “white” in one or another sahih (“authentic”) hadith. If anyone wants proof, I’ll dig them up for you.

From March of this year. An article, by Eileen Toplansky discussing Phyllis Chesler, one of the early feminists who has been ostracized by the later ‘feminists’ for her zionism, and other common sense opinions.
———————————
MINGLING WITH FOES
Phyllis Chesler and the question of Zionists not welcome in the ‘Feminist’ camp,
March 24, 2017 Eileen F. Toplansky
.
On November 19, 2003, Phyllis Chesler wrote a searing piece recounting the time when she addressed a women’s “networking” conference of “mainly African-American and Hispanic-American womanists and feminists at Barnard College.” Her son accompanied her to this conference.
One of the organizers at the event inquired as to what Chesler’s latest book was and was told “The New Anti-Semitism,” because “Jew-hatred was a form of racism – only it was not being treated as such by anti-racist ‘politically correct’ people.”
The silence that greeted Chesler concerning anti-Semitism should have been the first indication that things might go awry, as she was told that the conference was to be a forum about how “women sabotage each other and remain divided” in an effort to “come together.”
At the time, Chesler rationalized that perhaps she was a bit too “obsessed with The Jewish Cause, with Israel,” and she reminded herself that she was “also connected to more than one issue.”
As she spoke about her other book titled Woman’s Inhumanity to Woman, the vibes were good. The audience applauded and nodded in agreement. Things were going well. And then:
A disembodied voice demanded to know where I stood on the question of the women of Palestine. Her tone was forceful, hostile, relentless, and prepared. I could have said: ‘The organizers have specifically asked me not to address such questions.’ I did not say that. I could also have said: ‘I am concerned with the women of Palestine but I am also concerned with the women of Rwanda, Bosnia, Guatemala, who have all been gang-raped by soldiers who used rape as a weapon of war; I am concerned with the poverty and homelessness of women right here in America; I am concerned with the women of Israel who are being blown up in buses, at cafes, in their own bedrooms.’ I did not say this.
Instead, I took a deep breath and said that I did not respect people who hijacked airplanes or hijacked conferences or who, at this very moment, were trying to hijack this lecture. I pointed out that the subject of my talk was not Israel or Palestine. I did not want us to lose our focus. She grew even more hostile and demanding. ‘Tell this audience what you said on WBAI. I heard you on that program.’ Clearly, she wanted to ‘unmask’ me before this audience as a Jew-lover and an Israel-defender.
I took the question head-on. ‘If you’re really asking about apartheid, let me talk about it. Contrary to myth and propaganda, Israel is not an apartheid state. The largest practitioner of apartheid in the world is Islam which practices both gender and religious apartheid. In terms of gender apartheid, Palestinian women – and all women who live under Islam – are oppressed by ‘honor’ killings, in which girls and women who are raped are then killed by family members for the sake of restoring the family ‘honor;’ forced veiling, segregation, stonings to death for alleged adultery, seclusion/sequestration, female genital mutilation, polygamy, outright slavery, sexual slavery. Women have few civil, legal, or human rights under Islam.
Things became more heated – thus, “the lightning rod of Palestine was enough to turn a very friendly audience quite hostile.” As Chesler left the podium, she was approached by a young black woman who claimed to be “hurt” because Chesler had offended a “brown woman,” and since Chesler was a “white Jew,” this was “proof of a crime.”
Although the black women who had invited Chesler were supportive, none of them tried to stop what was happening. They did not try to “disperse the hostility or to address the issue.”
The lesson Chesler imparts is that “once the word Palestine is uttered,” it is viewed as a “symbol for every downtrodden group of color which is resisting the racist-imperialist American and Zionist Empires.” Also, it suddenly becomes a white-versus-brown issue.
As she and her son were leaving the event, he reminded her that “[t]he Jew haters will never allow you into their wider, wonderful world. You can’t go back.”
This brings me to why I introduced this piece in the first place. A few months ago, I wrote a piece asking why women in the National Council of Jewish Women would even think of sharing the platform with left-wing activists and anti-Semitic Muslims who share the same sentiments as those whom Chesler wrote about 15 years ago.
Daniel Greenfield writes:
The National Council of Jewish Women is one of those organizations whose letterhead keeps showing up on left-wing causes having nothing to do with Jewish issues. Lately it claimed to be concerned about anti-Semitism. Just not [to] the extent of breaking ranks with anti-Semites and refusing to participate in anti-Israel events and events with anti-Israel content.
In response to Linda Sarsour’s insistence that there was no room for Zionists in the ‘Feminist’ camp, the NCJW’s response was disgusting and unsurprising.
Nancy Kaufman, chief executive office of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), said that ‘while I truly hope women leading change doesn’t turn into a cover for Israel bashing … everyone is entitled to freedom of speech.’ In terms of future participation, NCJW will ‘navigate as we go along.’
‘We will continue to have our voices be heard – we’re not going to tell anyone else that they can’t have their voices be heard,’ she said.
Kaufman pointed out that while Sarsour’s participation in the Women’s March raised some discomfort among Jewish participants, the event maintained a tenor of inclusivity. She also pointed out that the Women’s Strike platform decries anti-Semitism in the same paragraph that it singles out Palestine.
Many of these groups were “underwritten by radical currency speculator George Soros who says Communist China’s system of government is superior to our own and that the United States is the number one obstacle to world peace.” Moreover, Gloria Steinem, feminist writer, activist, and organizer, said, “And remember, the Constitution does not begin with ‘I, the president,’ It begins with ‘We, the people.'” Where the heck was she with Obama and his continual Is peppering every speech?
Martin J. Raffel, who writes for the New Jersey Jewish News, states:
Palestinian-American Linda Sarsour, one of the march’s national co-chairs who has a well-known record of anti-Israel activism in New York City, did mention in her remarks that ‘most of all, I am my Palestinian grandmother who lives in the occupied territories’ wildest dreams. But apart from Sarsour’s reference to the ‘occupied territories,’ the Palestinian issue was not raised in Washington, DC[.]
Although there were reports that Jewish Voice for Peace activists intended to carry signs reading ‘Resist Together — From the United States to Palestine,’ I haven’t heard from anyone who saw one.
This is good news. For those of us defending Israel against a campaign of delegitimization and Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS), the following sentence in the march’s original mission statement had raised a yellow flag: ‘We support the advocacy and resistance movements that reflect our multiple and intersecting identities (intersectionality).’ In principle, intersectionality is not a pernicious concept. It simply refers to the concept that forms of oppression, such as racism, sexism, and xenophobia, are interconnected and need to be understood in relationship to one another.
Yet, further in his article, he writes, “Besides Sarsour, Zahra Billoo, San Francisco director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), also spoke at the march. A BDS activist, Billoo is known for sharing extremist material on social media, e.g., ‘Blaming Hamas for firing rockets at [Apartheid] Israel is like blaming a woman for punching her rapist.’ There were other speakers with a history of problematic statements on Israel, as well.”
So which is it? While Raffel acknowledges that “Israel has a problem with Democrats and other progressives” and “antipathy to Trump is pumping renewed energy into the progressive movement, and those hostile to Israel will look for opportunities to advance their agenda,” he still maintains that since the Israel-Palestine issue was not actually raised during the Women’s March, American Jews “can derive a valuable lesson from this experience. By championing these just causes, [i.e., immigration and refugee policy, criminal justice reform, and the environment], American Jews will also protect Israel.”
So if no one brings up the issue, that means that the haters no longer advocate what they repeatedly say in any number of other forums?
How naive and dangerous.
Mockingjay says
– To add to the many excellent comments and analyses above, I only would like to say that, in my opinion, feminism and rationality seemed to have parted ways already decades ago.
The problem is that feminism attracts great numbers of man-haters who have no interest whatsoever in being reasonable – or fair, for that matter.
– I always remember this famous, celebrated psycho-analyst, a woman herself, who was ostracized by the feminist movement, because she dared to point out that women, as mothers – not just men and fathers – , can be cruel abusers of their children too, and as such bear much of the responsibilty when their sons grow up to become men who despise, (ab)use and hate women.
It was a truth that feminists did not wish to hear or confront themselves with. All evil supposedly came from men.
I suppose it’s not a big step from that to “all evil comes from white men”.
– But then – I don’t think, as I said before, that rationality has got much to do with feminism, anyway.

And this the case with India too… I had a bitter fight with a female relative of mine, who lives in Canada and who visited me overseas, on this issue… and the fight erupted only because I criticized Canadian PM Trudueau and his self destructive immigration policy and I also happened to mention to her as to why Islamists and feminists are in the same bed together in spite of Islam’s treating women as inferior. And then the shit hit the fan and that’s it.. we are not in talking terms and I being the man.. has become the villain in this episode.. I am now the family bigot and the racist just for speaking the truth about Wahhabi Islam…. WHAT A SHAME!!!! On a side note: just infer as to how Islam is dividing our societies and making the right and left bitter enemies..!!!
dumbledoresarmy says
‘Just for speaking the truth about Wahhabi Islam”.
Don’t bother with the qualifier “Wahhabi” – it’s redundant.
Take a good long look at Andrew Bostom’s massive and bleak tome, “The Legacy of Jihad”. Read all the accounts of what Muslims did, both during Jihad, and after this or that region was Islamised, long long before the birth of Ibn Wahhab.
Islam is Islam. All Wahabbism is, is a *revival* movement. A ‘back to basics’. An attempt to restore classical Islam.
Islam is Islam. The beheadings, the covered women, the torturing robbing raping enslaving and mass murder… it’ all happened, all over the place, for *centuries* before Ibn Wahhab.
You are in fact called a bigot and a racist *for speaking the truth about ISLAM”.
Check out Ibn Warraq, “The Islam in Islamic Terrorism”.
Get the book and leave it strategically lying about. Maybe some family members will be curious enough to surreptitiously pick it up and leaf through it… and then they will get an education.

Matthieu Baudin says
“… The feminist movement was supposed to be about equality of rights for women. It was supposed to be about freeing women from male domination. It was supposed to be about empowering women as individuals, and enabling them to attain their full potential. Maybe feminists were never really committed to these goals at all…”
Today’s Radical Feminist Movement is probably second only to Militant Islam in it’s socially destabilising influence. Many of these people would take this description as a badge of honour as they feel little loyalty to a civilisation that has delivered the greatest human rights dividend in history. How have they sold their soul? A ‘me, me, me’ sense of entitlement has largely replaced the focus of helping others, the ranks of the movement are now filled with people using a pernicious ideology to further their own interests, further their own careers; individuals displaying a disinterest and disregard for the welfare of women in developing countries. Today’s Radical Feminism is a Movement Of Privilege a movement that has embraced ‘power’ as an end in itself. Today’s student campus intolerance and intimidation has been aided and abetted predominantly by Radical Feminist Academics and their fellow travellers. Is there any end in sight? Not so long as we continue to genuflect in the face of their grandiose claims of victimhood.
Roger says
By nature I am not a violent person but I have to admit I get some terrible pictures in my mind on how or what I’d enjoy doing to this Sarsour Bitch…As far as moslem women ‘selling’ their souls to islam is definitely not quite right…The female half of moslems have been so intimidated by their so-called ‘men folk’ for 100’s of years that their mentality has been reduced to ‘Yes master, no master and anything you say master..I am your slave to do with as you will…because if I don’t, I will surely die. They haven’t ‘sold their souls’. From a very early age these women live in total fear for their lives..
gravenimage says
I think this is more about Western feminists selling their souls to pander to Islam–we expect most Muslim women to do this, but not Westerners–especially ones who supposedly value equality between the sexes.
MFritz says
“Modern” Feminism is about two things – romantic ideals toward mankind and pure hatred towards white men (“toxic masculinity”), white society (“patriarchy”) and white culture (“white suppremacy”).
Islam, on the other hand, is considered a “religion” and “life choice” by these people. Furthermore, any criticism towards islam is blocked since muslims are a minority in the Western countries and thus have victim status.
Also, most feminists never leave their country to visit the “paradises” living under islam and sharia rule. They stay at home and go the easy road by listening to the likes of Sarsour.
And since nowadays the true “face” of islam is a woman wearing a hijab, feminists consider them being their “sisters” and allies.
Chris Malan says
Feminism is based on malice and stupidity. There are even women who say that. http://womenagainstfeminism.com/ Why the surprise when they do stupid things?
Lloyd Miller says
The feminist and other left movements are simply robots of their funders, ie. the great ruling class Foundations which are fronts for Rockefeller, Gates, Soros, et. al. who are in league with Islam re: the recycling of PetroDollars. Please stop expecting rationality from the blind minions of the ruling class.
Sarah says
Its unfair and inaccurate to blame ‘all’ Feminists for this. Just like its unfair to blame all men, just because its mainly men who tend to commit sexual assaults and rapes. Just like its unfair to blame everyone to consider everyone who is a ‘Conservative’ is also deeply religious – and highly judgemental with it, fundamentally racist and someone who tacitly supports the KKK and the like.
Feminism is not organized. It is not cohesive. The one solitary thing that most people who support the idea of feminism, can rally around without any real dissent; is the idea of ‘women’s rights’. And that means something very bloody different from person to person. Anything else – its near impossible to get any cohesive agreement.
Look at that ridiculous women’s march when Trump was elected, in America. I remember Katie Hopkins from the UK talking about how she went over there and chatted to a whole bunch of different women that day – and she couldn’t find a single cohesive message that the overall group wanted to promote. You had the Pussy Hat idiots. You had the Anti-Trump idiots. You had the ones marching for contraception to be free, the Pro-Choice crowd, the Trans crowd, the PETA crowd, the Islamic crowd etc etc. Just a bunch of people, mainly women, who happened to be physically in the same location, whilst marching together – all for deeply different reasons and issues.
Take the TERF’s for example. If you want a good example of what a TERF is – go visit the GenderTrender website. Some of those women downright terrify me lol – and I think I’ve proven by now, with literally every single post I’ve ever submitted onto JW – I am not the shy and retiring type, myself.
Go have a read about what those TERF’s have to say about the Transgender issues, as an example – and you’ll suddenly find quite a number of women who are shouting from the rooftops – the exact opposite from what many people accuse Feminism of supporting, on just one topic alone..
And the TERF’s (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) are just one little subsection. You’ve also got the Choice Feminists, the PostModern Feminists, the Marxist Feminists, the Anarchist Feminists, the Black Feminists – honestly, the list is longer than your arm and goes for days. And all of them are working on their own things, few are even remotely aligned with other groups within Feminism and all think their issues are the most pressing. You just can’t bundle them all into one easy to identify group.
It is fair to say, that Feminism as a barely organized, loosely collated rabble of women who are pissed off to varying degrees – has morphed from being political in its own right, to being politically aligned with the Left, for the most part. When the Left adopted Feminism under their umbrella of ‘Look how inclusive we are!’, that was when Feminism started becoming subsumed. Even so, it is still not organized – and therefore a singular group that you can blame across the board for one specific issue, like Islam..
I used to be a dye in the wool, card carrying, proudly self-identified Feminist. I was one of those Feminists who marched, who donated, who got involved, who got into loud and deeply, bitterly angry arguments with others. I still wholeheartedly believe in gender equality – I believe that men and women are deserving of the same rights and responsibilities under the rule of law and in the eyes of society. That neither gender is inferior or superior by dint of their goddamn chromosomal makeup
But I started losing faith when I saw idiots like Clementine Ford, behave vindictively, demanding things that felt like retribution against men for what women have experienced for hundreds and hundreds of years. When i saw idiots like Roxanne Gay blame men for literally every single life choice and every single respective personality weakness and vulnerability – rather than take accountability herself.
(Roxanne Gay is morbidly obese – and I’m understating that, here.. She blames her greed and issues with food and her reluctance to do any form of exercise all on the fact that she was sexually assaulted as a teen. I have empathy for her and her experiences – but she is incredibly morbidly obese because she chooses to stuff her face and sit on her ass, not because she suffered a cruel, brutal experience, many many many years earlier)
Then I was introduced to the vicious vomit, sprouted by that dog, Linda Sarsour. Hearing her hideous voice, screeching like an ugly banshee, trying to adopt Feminism and subsume it under Islam – well it was the last straw for me.
Just remember. Women like Linda Sarsour, like Clementine Ford, like Roxanne Gay – they do not speak for all women. We make up half the damn human race, remember… The notion of giving men and women equal and FAIR rights, responsibilities and treatment under the law and in the eyes of society is still important – for both men and women.
Disagree with me? Go ask pretty much any man who has children and is separated or divorced from the mother of his children and who got the raw end of the stick in Court over child support and custody. Go ask any man who has copped a jail sentence that is far more excessive than that of what a woman would have gotten for the exact same crime and circumstances. Go ask any woman – when as a woman, the biggest actual risk to our safety and lives – are other men. While for men, the biggest risk factor is goddamn heart disease. Fairness and equality goes both ways…
I cannot describe just how fundamentally betrayed I felt, as a ‘Feminist’ when I saw Germaine Greer make a speech defending Islam and Transgender issues – after copping a bunch of grief for previously making statements about both issues that were deeply unpopular. Of all people to sell themselves out, I never ever thought Germaine Greer would do it.
Feminism is becoming a very dirty word and its a crying shame. Because fairness and equality between the two genders is a goal we should all be aiming for – and all of us, whether we be male or female – have been thoroughly let down and betrayed by the deeds, words and behaviours of a truly tiny number of women who have taken it upon themselves to get on a soapbox and vomit forth, absolutely vile nonsense that doesn’t help anyone, at all.
So don’t take literally anything that is vomited from the mouth of Linda Sarsour and then pretend that its what all Feminists want. Just like in normal Politics, Feminism is no different in that those with the loudest voices are the ones who are heard the most clearly – yet it does not mean that what they’re saying is right or that its supported by many.
Although gee I would love a list of the women who prostrate themselves at the feet of that dog, Sarsour. I would dearly like to know which women of the West are the actual snake’s in the grass, slithering amongst us.

All I can say as a woman is that after living thru years of insecurity of our nations attempted demise by Islam, and the many previous wars we fought, the marketing of the hijab was successful for many who saw a young face, many times attractive flowing by looking serene, appearing intelligent and protected by men with beards. Woman have lost thru many wars young men so maybe the lack of intimacy in a world in upheaval allowed for the politicians to be taken by money and the” fibs” about life under sharia to rise up even as the worst horrors are occurring worldwide to men, woman and children who get taken by the religion of the sword that gets overlooked due to misinformation and massive influence operation of lies.

Honestly, I cannot stop myself Laughing loud!! This sounds like someone steal my car and then turn around and try to sell it to me! L.O.L. I have a big question to all the Arab and Muslim people! Where were the Arabs and Muslims when Israel was around?? I say, God is behind the Israelis and will be there forever because, like I said, Israel was JEWISH before there was such a thing called “ISLAM”!!
UNCLE VLADDI says
Re: “Why has feminism sold its soul to Islam?”
Because both are divisive victimology extortion rackets.
Don’t ever expect subjectivist hypocrites to make sense by sticking to objective universal principles!

what an unholy trinity is islam,feminism & black lives matter. there’s a song that is so descriptive of this alliance,red star,by birthday massacre,the lyrics,you build it we break it,you sign it we erase it,our existence & beliefs are being erased,by the signings of demands they make,white privilege well im still waiting for mine,no prayer breaks for me,no allowances regarding facial coverings in banks for me, no card of victimhood for me.lets ask why feminists and muslims seek out the alrerady & give a common if albeit unwilling enemy the Christian,the white man,the white supremist. once we’re subdued & the feminists gagged & collared whom will the muslims & blm have to blame?
