Where is the outcry?

The German periodical Der Spiegel is reporting that thousands of British Muslim girls are being abducted, some by their own family, and sent against their will to foreign countries to pre-arraigned marriages.

Where are feminists like Jane Fonda and Susan Sarandon when their sex needs them most? I mean I know all those The View and Oprah appearances likely take a lot out of a gal, but in between complaining about President Bush and doing Public Service Announcements regarding just how loud a woman's roar can be, can someone in the public limelight bring appropriate attention to this problem.

If you don't believe in women's rights for all women, you don't believe in them at all. It's very brave for liberals and secular-progressives to tackle those "dangerous" groups like Evangelical Christians and the Boy Scouts, or for Martha Burk to protest Augusta National's all-boys-club membership policy, but does anyone else feel that those energies might be better served in confronting real sexism, real bigotry, and real supression that exists almost exculsively in Sharia Law-dominated nations?

Feminists Suck When They Are Needed Most
April 6th, 2008 - 16:43

Great post. Don’t expect to hear a word from Martha Burke. She’s more worried about chicks playing golf at a golf course than about women being raped, mutilated or abused. If this was a group doing this in the name of conservatism, then we’d hear from Sarandon and Fonda. But since the muslims align best with the far left democrats, well this is all in the name of progress.

No trackbacks yet.

What is “Mere Conservatism”?

The basic ideas, ideals, and values that generally define and characterize the central tenets of what today might be termed "modern conservative thought."

We believe that a proper understanding of history, economics, and theology leads to certain conclusions. Many of these are the same conclusions our Founding Fathers arrived at in constructing a "more perfect union."

All ideas and opinions are welcome; not all are correct.
