Is it really a women's issue if it doesn't support Democrat politics?


Tammy Bruce says screw that attitude, women are being threatened, tortured and killed. Where are the American feminist groups?
Yes, this is a Fox News Column.

But it is by Tammy Bruce, who has long since earned her credibility. C'mon, I dare you to tell me that a lesbian feminist isn't worth listening to because of her political views. Go ahead and undo everything that the feminist movement has accomplished and should still be doing.

Me, I will just agree with her because she has a point.

There has been appropriate international outrage over the treatment of Gibbons, from virtually everyone except American “feminists.” Multiple Muslim groups in the U.K. have condemned the sentence. Even the popular little boy in Mrs. Gibbons’ class who suggested the name for the bear came to her defense, explaining that he named the bear after himself.

Yet, when asked by FOX News for a comment about the situation, a National Organization for Women spokeswoman said they were "not putting out a statement or taking a position."

This is how depraved the American left has become. A little Muslim boy in Sudan shows more courage and conviction for a woman under fire than a bunch of women sitting in Washington, D.C., who preen themselves on being the premiere “advocates” for women.

It’s been apparent for years that the American feminist establishment is nothing more than a shill for the shallow leftists in the Democrat party, wrapping themselves in the feminist label for convenience. Groups like NOW and Eleanor Smeal’s Feminist Majority, also amazingly silent in the past five years about Islamic terrorism and violence against women, use women’s issues as nothing more than slogans and chants in their efforts to gain political power.

Their vile silence isn’t limited to the Gibbons situation. In Saudi Arabia, a gang-rape victim has been sentenced to 200 lashes and 6 months in prison. Why? Because when she was raped, she was violating Sharia law by being out with a man who was not a relative. Her sentence was actually increased when she dared to appeal her sentence.

What has NOW’s and the Feminist Majority’s response been to this obscene outrage? The same silence offered to Gillian Gibbons. Nothing, because God forbid we should be reminded that there is a disturbed enemy out there worth fighting, and God forbid that for one moment we should suggest that the United States might not be heinous imperialist the left casts us to be.

"Some animals are more equal than others." And it is only a "feminist" cause if it advances progressive politics.

Do you know why Tammy Bruce broke with NOW? Because after O.J. Simpson was arrested for murder, NOW was very quiet on the subject of abused women.

Oh, and I covered this subject in this entry.
