Passive aggressive, but not exactly subtle. Xenophilia is less of a problem in the world than xenophobia.

Tell that to the afghan women who desperately want the support of western feminism only to find western feminism defending and justifying their misery. That has got to be an incredibly depressing feeling.

I don't keep up with western feminism as much as...well, you apparently, so that's news; is it of the fake variety though?

A quick Google search offers quite a few recent articles lambasting feminists for the invasion and bombing of Afghanistan, while another search turned up this...

Oh god a "not all" fallacy, wonderful. Did I say it was ALL feminists? No. But many, I'm not talking about the sane ones who condemn this shit, I'm talking about the ones who don't.

For example there are tonnnns of naive college aged feminists who defend the hijab and actually see it as empowering. Sorry call me crazy but if you risk being beaten by your husband or father or brother for removing it, you are not wearing it of your own free will.

My mistake for assuming, fair enough.
