I guess “feminism” only applies to non-Muslim countries? via American Pundit

In the U.S., a spokeswoman for the National Organization for Women said the situation “is definitely on the radar, and N.O.W. is not ignoring it.”

But she added that the U.S.-based organization is “not putting out a statement or taking a position.”

Radio personality Tammy Bruce, former president of the Los Angles chapter of the National Organization for Women and past member of their board of directors, criticized the organization for not taking a stand.

“We have a duty to make a difference for women around the world,” Bruce told FOX News. “The supposed feminist establishment is refusing to take a position in this regard because they have no sensibility of what is right anymore. They’re afraid of offending people. They are bound by political correctness.”

“The American feminist movement has not taken one stand to support the women of Iraq, the women of Afghanistan, the women of Iran,” she said. “It is the United States Marines who have been doing the feminist work by liberating women and children around the world.”

Too busy getting fitted for burkas.

They won’t take a stand because they know it’s not advantageous from a political standpoint. N.O.W. just needs to stop pretending it’s about the women, and admit it’s about political power instead.

Me thinks they are afraid of the mooslimes.

Why is the American feminist movement so reticent to speak up on behalf of our sisters in the rest of the world? We cannot remain silent in the face of murder and other forms of brutality against women, we do not have that luxury. We cannot hide behind the veil of cultural or moral relativism — not when it comes to vengeance killings against women under the guise of family “honor,” and not when it comes to egregious punishments.

I am only glad that the pressure of our voices has obtained a “pardon” from the Sudanese government for this British teacher.

Feminists can’t call themselves feminists if they do not stand up for oppressed women everywhere. Political correctness is a cop out of the highest order here.
