       https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/01/02/why-do-feminists-turn-a-blind-eye-to-islamists/Western feminists have shown a similarly curious reluctance to criticise the Taliban. After all, the Taliban ought to be an obvious target of feminist ire. Since it regained control of Afghanistan in 2021 it has banned Afghan women from any form of political participation, prevented them from dressing how they choose and banned them from education and most forms of work. Yet you will struggle to find much condemnation of this medieval sexism from Western feminists and ostentatiously ‘progressive’ organisations this year. After reports emerged that the Taliban has been imprisoning survivors of domestic abuse ‘for their own protection’, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan meekly said that the Taliban’s handling of ‘gender-based violence complaints’ was ‘unclear and inconsistent’. Which is one way of describing a movement that systematically degrades and oppresses women.There does seem to be a massive Islamist-shaped blindspot here. Feminists and their progressive apologists are only too happy to call out relatively trivial acts of sexism in the West. Yet they show a repeated unwillingness to stick up for women suffering at the hands of Islamists, from Iran to Israel to Afghanistan.

       @Flick While generally not a fan of the Libertarian bullshit on spiked, gotta say this article is absolutely on point.

       @Flick "Feminists and their progressive apologists are only too happy to call out relatively trivial acts of sexism in the West.

Even here on Spinster, a place for supposedly "radical feminists", there is a lack of criticism against muslims and Islam

       @Flick Those aren't feminists, those are woke thrid wavers - the feminist backlash. Back in the day second wavers were brutal about critiqing Islam. Probably because so many were secular Jewish and Marxist.

       @Flick They decided that standing up for Muslim women is Islamophobic years ago.

       @Flick The inability to form general moral principles is the hallmark of the wee-brained "liberal". Those capable of such abstract often over-attribute intelligent to the utterly stupid, assuming they have any ability to understand general principles in the first place.
