Feminists Truly Hate Women
Posted on July 10, 2008
-By Warner Todd Huston
On Sunday, July 13, in Jonesboro, Georgia, an immigrant Muslim father strangled his daughter to death in a so-called “honor killing” because she protested being forced by her family to marry a man she did not know. No feminist uttered a word about the murder of twenty-five-year-old Sandeela Kanwal. On the following Wednesday officials in the city government of Atlanta, Georgia bowed to the pressure from one feminist nut to stop posting “men at work” signs in the city because they are “sexist.”
The contrast is stark as well as revealing, if not entirely disgusting. It reveals an American feminism that is a hypocritical, unserious, sham that deserves nothing but derision. A movement that indulges in oblivious, frivolity while real pain surrounds them.
The western world is in the midst of a clash of cultures that is killing thousands of people every week. The west is seeing a religio-political system calling itself Islam perpetrating some of the most oppressive actions against women in modern history. Women are daily and by the millions beaten, raped, mutilated, and oppressed in uncountable ways by adherents of a so-called religion. This is not only happening in far away lands, either. Imigrants are importing these barbarous, uncivilized ways into the west and right into our midst.
Girls of Muslim heritage throughout the west are being forced into marriages against their will, sold into sexual slavery, their genitals are being mangled in a faux religious ceremony and they are being treated as second class citizens by their parents and relatives, immigrants of Muslim background.
And as these very real crimes against women occur what do the feminists of Atlanta, Georgia get all exercised about? The elimination of signs that say “men at work.”
Feminists in America and other western nations have a possible crusade just aching for their care and development, yet these same feminists who pretend that women’s rights are their priority consistently ignore real oppression. These oppressed Muslim women suffer unimaginable horrors at the hands of their uncivilized religion and imported, backwards culture all the while western feminists sit on their hands and concerns themselves with pointless issues like city signage.
As Sandeela Kanwal was agonizing over her forced marriage in Jonesboro and later as her murdered body lay on the floor of her Father’s home, the last bit of precious life fading, a childish, foolhardy “feminist” named Cynthia Good was congratulating herself on somehow striking a blow against oppression by making Atlanta get rid of a few paper signs.
While millions of young girls cower and allow themselves into forced marriages all across the west, magazine editor Cynthia Good trumpeted her success and called for the rest of the country to join her earthshattering, important efforts. “We’re calling on the rest of the nation to follow suit and make a statement that we will not accept these subtle forms of discrimination,” chortled the facile Good to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
This is the result of liberal moral equivalence. The western liberal’s self-destructive insistence that each culture is just as good as the next, yet at the same time the assumption that our own is somehow worse for its “oppression” and “discrimination,” courses throughout the veins of pernicious feminism. The delusional insistence that we, the west, are the bane of civilization as poor young girls like Sandeela Kanwal lead pitiful existences often meeting a violent end right under the noses of these same “feminists” who claim moral superiority is an outrage. The belief that a paper sign alerting passersby that people are working in the area is worse than the murder of Sandeela Kanwal and others like her is a travesty.
Feminists are execrable yet are given the benefit of government money in our universities and places of high esteem. Today, feminists are as bad a holocaust deniers, as bad as Soviet apologists, for their willful ignorance of the oppression of women that goes on around them every day.
The Soviets used to call westerners who gave them cover for their crimes against humanity “useful idiots.” Muslims call westerners who turn a blind eye to their oppressions “dhimmis,” folks who have a lesser stance in Islam but follow along dutifully ignoring the crimes around them. Cynthia Good is a dhim idiot. She make fools of every person everywhere truly concerned with eliminating oppression.

Actually I think that to some the degree it may be more of an effect than a cause. If these people weren’t such incredible childish babies and cowards they could bring themselves to see what is going on. Most women in America and Europe don’t know real oppression. The average liberal feminist’s idea of an oppression is a society that doesn’t have universal health care. they see a man as sexist who doesn’t support tax payer funded abortion on the demand, regardless of the fact that some women also oppose it. Heck even some pro choice people don’t support the government funding it. To many of them someone is a sexists who sees any difference between male or female physiology. I think that that much of their moral relativism is a result of their apathy and cowardice and the fact that they are spoiled brats prone to wishful thinking.
I wholeheartedly agree. Here’s more on this subject:

Surely, we’ve always known what makes radical feminists so intensely racist.
Because their fathers are white.
Very well said. The postmoderns can’t even get multiculturalism right. If all cultures are equally good, how can they criticize ours?
Also note that the pro-legalized abortion movement doesn’t speak out against gender selection abortions, 95%+ of which are done to destroy females. It is the ultimate misogyny.
When debating pro-life issues the pro-aborts typically get around to saying how I must be anti-women. I must admit that I enjoy bringing up gender selection abortions and watching them squirm and then go ballistic. I also like to point out how single young men have the highest % of pro-abortion views (because they are such feminists at heart, right?) and how 90%+ of the employees and volunteers at CareNet Pregnancy Center (where I volunteer at and am on the board) are female.
At least she is cute.
She would be so mad to hear me say that.
Your point that feminists hate women is correct: they bait women into making all sorts of decisions that later hurt them.
However, your thinking is tragically feminist and off base too. Where on earth do you get the idea that “millions of young girls cower and allow themselves into forced marriages all across the west…”? That is a ridiculous feminist assertion straight from your lips.
Do you really believe that “Women are daily and by the millions beaten, raped, mutilated, and oppressed in uncountable ways by adherents of a so-called religion”? Sure, there is some of it going on perhaps in certain countries with repressive governments such as Burma, but it is not anything on the level of mass brutality you invent it to be in the Muslim religion.
We must NOT become hysterical and polemical as those who hate us have become. You crossed the line twice in this piece. But you are not unusual in this regard: classic conservatives often hold feminist beliefs that end up poisoning anything they would do to restore marriage in America. If you truly want to change America, you need to start by extricating yourself from the feminist beliefs sending you down the feminist drain.
The fact of this world cultural collision is that feminists hate men, and muslim fanatics hate western feminism. Men in western countries are served up by the millions on the platter of radical feminism, and our men have to go defend our countries from whackos who hate feminism. Western men are getting it at both ends.
Our job is to restore marriage and the status of reasonable men to simply exist in America. Our job is to teach women that the average husband will care for and protect her far better than invisible feminist bureaucrats do.
Most women quickly come to understand that feminism has hurt them tremendously. If we simply speak intelligently to them we can change America for the better.
Im a Muslim women and Im proud of it.
Am I beaten, raped, suppressed?
No.
Am I wrapped up in meters of material by my male family members?
No.
Do I have to shepherd 6 children each time I go out shopping?
Are my parents trying to marry me off?
No!
Infact the only person who is attempting to marry me off is my single British friend who seems to think that a forced arranged-marriage would be a good thing for everyone past thirty and anyone else who finds it difficult to find a partner!
Mr Warner Huston has to seriously get real. How many women of muslim origin has he actually come face to face with to discuss with THEY want or wish? (I suggest that he reads “Who speakes for Islam?” by Esposito and Mogahed. Instead the frontpages of the tabloid newspapers).
You see the problem with these discussions is that peoples assumptions are based on headlines. They are based on sensationalised news coverages.
The murder of the Pakistani women is horrific, so is the murder of an Indian man of his sons African-American wife and so is the murder of Adeline Weber by her husband in Lincolnshire.
There are many so called “honour killings” but none confined to one religious or ethnic group. By confining these incidents to Islam or “those who hate the West” (God whats wrong with you people – maybe you suffer from some kind of paranoida but who would blame you with Bush as president!) is not helping to find a solution to this problem.
I prefer to see these cases as violence and suppression of women, which is a universal problem. According to the link below in the USA alone 3 million women are abused by their partners each year. And on average, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in the USA every day. In 2000, 1,247 women were killed by an intimate partner. The same year, 440 men were killed by an intimate partner.

Lets discuss the similarities and how violence against women can be internationally combated. Mr Warner Huston can perhaps start by catching up with reality.
Bravo Iffit! You’ve done a remarkable job of coming to the defense of the monsters.
Now, let me see, who shall I believe in this controversy — Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Nonie Darwish, the redoubtable Brigitte Gabriel, or this mysterious Islamist apologist Iffit?
Now, that’s really a tough one.
I’m afraid that Mr. Huston is the one who has caught up with reality. While you, of course, are welcome to continue living in your fragile world of delusions and denial.
To be fair, not all Western feminists have been silent on these matters. I’ve been working on this issue for years, and I blogged about this case before anyone in the mainstream media was calling it a dishonor killing (http://www.redroom.com/blog/ellen-r-sheeley/there-was-another-american-dishonor-killing-today).
One of the challenges we face is lack of funding, though. Another is safety.

Mr Gardner what makes you think that I am an Islamist? Do you even know what an Islamist is? I also wonder what exactly it is that I am saying which makes you believe that I am defending “the monsters”. Are these men monsters? I prefer not to call them monsters. I would much rather try to understand how these men think and what can we do to PREVENT all forms of domestic abuse. Bbrushing these men aside and ignoring the dynamics in the society, in the home will not help in solving these problems.
If I use your logic Mr Gardner:
Can we also say that Bush and Blair and the whole estableshment is run by monsters when we take into consideration that the War on Terror was based on lies lies and more lies? Can we we call them monsters when reports show that millions of women and children are suffering as a result of the occupation? Womens’ position in Iraq is worse today than it was under Saddam Hussein. People cannot afford to pay for medical care, there is water and electricity shortages. health care which was free undr the Baath party is now unaffordable. Education was also free and most women were free. The Baath party managed to reduce illiteracy but since the US imposed 1991 sanctions the illiteracy rate has risen and there are more deaths among infants. The only thing conveniently functioning is the oil fields thanks to the good ole’ US and UK!
I totally agree with Ms Sheeley that feminists have been far from silent on the issue of honour killings or suppression of women. In Europe that is basically the only subject which has been mentioned in the media continuously since the so-called War on Terror was put into action. I know this because it is my job to analyse the media and to write commentaries. There is no focus on the rights of minorty women to education, work, housing, or equal opportunities in higher positions. In Scandianvia highly educated Muslim women are offered menial jobs: cleaning, health assistants, kindergardent assistants. We have laws protecting womens rights. What we need now is to empower them in Europe.
Emancipation of the Muslim women is not only from her so-called “backward culture and society” as many believe it to be- but emancipation from the shackles of white society which views her as nothing else but suppressed, passive and subjugated.
We are so much more than just the some of some Oriental fantasies or the front cover of some tabloid story.
From Iffit –”we take into consideration that the War on Terror was based on lies lies and more lies”
This one phrase will serve to end my conversation with you Iffit. To pursue it further would be pointless.
To Ms. Sheeley — Thanks to some courageous women such as yourself the plight of Islamic women around the world has been brought to light. On this subject you might be interested in checking out my sidebar, about halfway down, just under the RCP banner.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of a lot of the mainstream women’s orgs or publications. Which makes your work all the more meaningful.
Nice meeting you.
It is amazing how my arguments above are rejected by Mr Roger Gardner because of one sentence. Thats what I call living in a world with democracy and freedom of speech, where people can debate like civilized human-beings. Just imagine this is what we are trying to export to the Middle East! I say Please don’t export it! We desperately need democracy in the Western world!
You are utterly deluded if you think Western feminists are turning a blind eye to the non-feminist culture of Muslim societies. When it comes to moral vigilantism, or honour killings, women/feminists in the West fill up reams of column space on the issue. The vast majority of women/feminists here have no respect for Islamic culture, and want to see it go the way of Catholicism (which they have been eradicating since the 1950s): utterly lifeless.
Your article is really a pro-feminist one as it nonetheless brings up the feminist topics of critiquing Patriarchal religions/cultures such as Islam. All the while with little contrast to the extremes of Western feminism in every day life, and with a lack of objective facts on the matter.
As for the Muslim woman, well I don’t think you’re an adherent to your religion at all. Use of the feminist catchphrase “violence against women” could be an indicator of that.
Anyway, GIVE UP THIS ARGUMENT. It’s not washing with me or any other MRA anti-feminists who have brains. Open your eyes to newspaper articles, books and TV programming which is highly critical of Patriarchal Islamic religion; and note that most of the criticism comes from Western women. Unlike you, I am not blind or deaf to this.
Stop fighting feminists’ patch for them. Let them dish out the anti-Patriarchal religion critiques. We should be concentrated on anti-Western feminist critiques and try to avoid overlap as much as possible where we end up propagating their ideals.
Also, while we’re at it; let’s not export MTV bra-burning feminism to the Middle East either, okay?
Because that’s exactly what the US Administration and Army is doing. Shame on them.
So, you think advocating to stop abuse of women is a bad thing?
Nice.
