The “why don’t you help the women in Afghanistan/Middle - TopicsExpress



          

The “why don’t you help the women in Afghanistan/Middle East” argument is always a hoot because it’s predicated on idiotic premises: 1) the people who argue this actually do nothing to help women in Afghanistan or the Middle East in general and 2) it’s based on the assumption Afghan or Middle Eastern women are utterly incapable of helping or thinking for themselves – a hilarious contention that both admits the power of male oppression while denying female ability, as though Western feminists are only able to exist thanks to Western male permission. 10 Things: Bishop reiterates her commitment to womens issues without using the F-word (feminism) but wont be able to fund it, plus Newmans fundraising and googling, drones are crashing into the White House and the Vatican are fighting demon birds with balloons.
