Social Why are western feminists silent about how Islam treats women?

[wonderbread]

When we approach the topic we come up against several walls:
We're told we don't understand the religion/culture/social structure, and that we shouldn't interfere with it.
Are they afraid? Is it some kind of bias? Or may be it doesn't fit their narrative? What is it?

Religion is a cancer on the planet.

Cause the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So they are on the same team

This is right, and the whole reason for the big push of “intersectionality”—strength in numbers.

So you’re pissed at “feminist” and can’t even begin to articulate why in the context of the subject. Exactly my point. Also claiming you’re being “attacked” is the defintion of claiming to be a victim.

Sounds like some incel projecting.

Stop trying to be sound intelligent. It doesn't suit you

Troll ass biatch

 

[panamaican]

Are they?

Are we asking why feminists don't specify Islam when talking about feminist issues? Or are you saying the feminists never talk about any issues that are also occurring in Islam?

Because if a feminist is against marital rape, do they need to specify every subgroup that practices marital rape or can they just say "no marital rape" and expect intelligent people to know that it's a broad criticism applicable wherever marital rape appears?

Asking someone to explain how feminism has failed in the context of the OP is not trolling. I backed up my stance by showing there’s plenty of effort to address the issue at hand by various women’s groups.

Throwing some vague bitchfit about women in a thread yet not being able to articulate any argument relating to the OP ...now that’s trolling and definitely a characteristic of an incel.

Serious answer is that the Islamic world first needs to have it's own Enlightenment and/or crisis of faith, so that the intellectual foundation of its beliefs is destabilized. Only once that ground gets shaky will it be possible for greater changes.

Many left wing feminists view women as a tool to support a broader left wing agenda.

Women in the western world in many ways have it way tougher than the women in muslim nations. Raising kids on their own while their lovers abandon them plus their kids is something that a lot of women in the west face. Tragically a lot of western women are treated very unfairly by western men.

of course the breakdown of the nuclear family in the west in many ways has been aided by feminists but why throw stones in glass houses. Feminists in this case have it right

to be fair im only speaking about the decent western women and not those who inflict damage onto their own men

There are no single moms in Muslim nations?

What about all the war torn shitholes?

Would you rather be a single mom in London or a peasant Al-Qaeda slave wife in the foothills of Afghanistan?

Because they are useful idiots who view islam as an ally in the destruction of the West. Feminism is Nazism/Marxism for women who are mentally ill and/or have had seriously messed up relationships with men. They view the West as an evil patriarchy created and enforced by men for their own benefit and run at the expense of women. Anything that is good for Western men is bad, and anything that advances the feminist cause and/or harms the patriarchy is good.

So they are willing to overlook islamic treatment of women and to see them as downtrodden brown people oppressed by the white men and the Western patriarchy. So "the enemy of enemy is my friend" is probably the thought process that goes on at some level. If they are willing to acknowledge the issue at all they probably think they will be able to fix it later.

Its obviously about race. Anyone less than pasty gets a past from the White Feminist orthodoxy.

Exactly.

It's an unholy alliance. Leftists want to get back at tradition, straight, white, masculinity etc through "Social Justice."

Islam doesn't effect Western women.

UK rape gangs...

 

[SL1200]

More whining about being victims. Big surprise.

Show me where western women are giving Muslim culture anymore of a pass than western men are. Show me where men are addressing this issue with a greater effort than women. Otherwise stop throwing a bitchfit online about what women aren’t doing about men’s behavior. Tell me how the fuck it matters what kind of sex organs you have when it comes to doing something about this issue. Stop playing identity politics for 5 minutes.

You don't seem to get it. Feminists are actively fighting for the rights of women yet not adressing that nonsense. When men as a collective start fighting for better treatment of women than you can adress us about neglecting that.

3rd wave feminists are mindless puppets, repeating what they're told. They are insecure and unhappy and need to blame others for their lives instead of true, first wave feminists who understood their lot and rightfully decided to change it...

 

[Renard]

The #1 strategy of an SJW is to never be in a situation where they have to defend their ideas in a debate. It's a slaughter. They're all about character assassination with unwarranted -isms, getting people to do what they want by portraying themselves as victims or defenders of victims, petitioning lawmakers for censorious legislation by making emotional appeals, and preventing people with different opinions from speaking. Anything but a debate.

 

[Sketch]

Because the ones at the top influencing the young minds are on the payroll.

 

[Roaming East]

causation/correlation?

Islamist countries are 3rd world shitholes
islamist countries treat women like garbage
secular 3rd world shitholes ALSO treat women like garbage.

maybe the treating women like garbage has more to do with a countries developmental index and less to do with what invisible sky wizard they kill people for.

WWII and the holocaust.

Social theory shifted with artistic theory away from criticism of other cultures as the idea was seen to stir up imperialism, nationalism, and racism in varying degrees.

A sad aside is that this landfill of ideas swallowed a lot of objective criticism of other cultures and used complicated theories to mute critics and divergent ideas.

Also, if you want to get murdered, criticizing radical Islam is a decent place to start.

Not without irony, a Western society through traditional forces became benign to internal criticism, therefore you can criticize what the left sees as "its own" (The right) without much modern repercussion.

The KKK will not show up and murder you in your office, ISIS representatives might take that bet.

It is easy to be brave behind the pen until the sword of Islam shows up at your doorstep. Writers, actors, and thespians of today did not take on Fascism in Nazi Germany or Leninism in Ukraine, they took on the Young Republicans at Columbia.
