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.

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.

“…the U.S.-based organization is “not putting out a statement or taking a position.”

Too busy getting fitted for burkas.
