It’s just too bad that Ms. Hirsi Ali had to align herself to the RWNJs since, because of her own experiences within Islam, she would have been a terrific women’s rights advocate without the kind of baggage she’s engendered for herself.

I’m rather on the ledge about her advocacy, though, and if it’s really sincere. I’m an ex-Catholic who disagrees so much with the church and with religion in general that I have grown to be a fierce atheistic feminist, and I don’t mind criticizing any and all religions for what they foist on women, not just the ones I have experienced.

Brandeis is within its rights to deny her the honor, though.
