Killing Afghan women to liberate them

Suzanne Fields is a feminist allied with the Neoconservative cabal—really not surprising given the common marxist roots of Feminism and the right-wing trotskyites known by endearing names such as “neo-crazies” and “neo-Jacobins. Someone who is upset about her male-bashing diatribes forwarded me her latest editorial, A long way from Kabul, Baby, which was recently published in the Washington Times.

I won't bother linking to the article; her opinions are not worth reading. I just want to point out that Feminism is not and never was what it claimed to be. All quotes are what she wrote in her editorial; I've added a few photos of Afghan women and girls along with some comments:

“...a remarkable victory in the war against terrorism and the struggle to establish democracy in a backward part of the world...”

Backward? Ms. Fields can barely contain her contempt for the Afghan people, female or otherwise. Just so we're clear regarding what the people of Afghanistan ever did against Ms. Fields: the answer is “nothing”. They were invaded first by the Brits, then by the Soviets, and then by the Arabs (Taliban)—with CIA help—who harbored someone who could have been extradited under international law. The Afghans themselves had nothing to do with 911 or any other acts of international terrorism.

“...a breakthrough for women struggling to rise above narrow male chauvinism embedded in a particularly backward version of an ancient religion.”

(you'd almost think that male chauvinist Afghan cared about his little girl more than Ms. Fields ever did)

“The emancipation of women in the Middle East, as Bernard Lewis, the distinguished scholar of Islamic culture, observes, 'is the touchstone of difference between modernization and Westernization.'”

(“distinguished scholar”? What makes him distinguished much less a scholar? That he has the same hostile, bigoted opinions about middle easterners as other pseudointellectuals? What kind of “scholar” has so little sympathy for his supposed subject?)

“Americans can take a certain pride that we have contributed to their emancipation.”

“You've come a long way, baby.”

Fields and her ilk think I'm evil because I'm a 200lb, hairy-@ssed, correctly-gendered, heterosexual male. From her point of view I suppose I am: I broke down and cried each time I saw those photos.

Don't believe what people say. Look at what they do.
