Duuude. Wowza. So NOT reality.

Really, women living in Islamist regimes suffer inequalities that would even make the standards of 16th century England look liberal.

This is pretty well established.

Yet, I have never ever heard a major denunciation of this from a prominent American feminist in a public way.

Even if one case can be found, there should rightly be a sustained chorus of outrage. Where is this chorus?

Are Arab women no longer women?

OR is it only American women that count?

Is it that the meme on the far left was pro Islam as a knee jerk reaction to the rightwing co-opting support of Israel?

I don’t know. I really don’t know why.

I do know that if you care about women’s rights, then you should be consistently appalled at the lot of Muslim women. I also know that the large organizations that supposedly claim to stand for women’s rights are very quiet about the issue.
