American women live under a suffocating patriarchy. Rape culture flourishes in the United States. Toxic masculinity stunts the emotional and professional growth of American females. Sexual harassment and predation are ubiquitous in American workplaces. College campuses are maelstroms of sexual violence. Female students need safe spaces where they can escape abusive male power.
These propositions are self-evident to a large, interlocking establishment of government bureaucrats, progressive politicians, college administrators, faculty, “activists,” professionals, and journalists. Yet this same establishment is up in arms over a recent declaration by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions that female aliens caught trying to enter the country illegally will no longer be automatically considered for asylum by dint of claiming that they are victims of domestic abuse. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accuses the Trump administration of “staggering cruelty” in condemning “vulnerable innocent women to a lifetime of violence and even death.” The American Bar Association charged that Sessions would “further victimize those most in need of protection.” The executive director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, Benjamin Johnson, denounced “this shameful chapter in our country’s history,” and promised a lawsuit.
Sessions was right to return asylum law to its original intent: offering protection to individuals persecuted by their government for membership in a socially distinct group. Domestic violence is a private crime, not a public one, and does not reflect general persecution of the sort that international law has codified as appropriate for asylum petitions. Asylum petitions have mushroomed 1,700 percent from 2008 to 2016, according to the New York Times, driven in significant part by domestic-abuse claims, often underwritten by extensive coaching and encouragement by hard-left advocates.

This chick needs to get laid. Find a boyfriend and chill out.
Toxic, fetid feminist.
What planet does Heather Mac Donald live on?
If I had the money and time, I’d ask Heather to let me spend a day with her to see/feel the horrible environment she speaks of. I’m willing to bet that it’s nothing remotely near what she writes about.
True, there are bad people on every corner of the Earth. And, there seems to be a higher percentage of them in Democrat led cities like Chicago. If Heather’s experience is so very horrible, she should move. Preferably to a 2A friendly state where no one really knows who and is not carrying a firearm. If Heather cannot find someplace suitable in the US... there’s always Venezuela. Or Cuba.
Wait! So when a woman says this, it's NOT cryptic foreplay?
"Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
First of all, she is the EX-House Speaker. Next, everytime she shows up on TV I consider myself a victim of “staggering cruelty.”
The entire first paragraph is Heather Macdonald's parody of the way radical fembots talk. What she's doing here is pointing out that they are inconsistent to the point of incoherence.
On the one hand, they claim the USA is an oppressive patriarchal prison where women are constantly marginalized, suppressed and abused. On the other hand, the invite all the world's victimized women to immigrate to the USA for safety and freedom.
Heather Macdonald is not one of the fembots. She is one of their most effective critics.
“American women live under a suffocating patriarch”
The waaaambulance is on its way.
Or Iran or North Korea or Saudi Arabia or…
“This chick needs to get laid. “
Laid out.
Civilization has its ups and downs, as proven by history, if you have read it.
When civilization falls, as it has in the past, you are put in this scenario.
A six foot 250 pound, well muscled Barbarian confronts you sword and says: Put Up Or Shut up.
What are your options?
Give me your answers.
Wrong.
IF the intent was to ridicule the femi-nazi drivel that is spewed out in that first paragraph, then reganaut1 is to blame for not posting a more accurate excerpt.
You know the rules here. We only read the excerpt. And the excerpt makes it clear that Heather is another ugly feminist.
She needs to spend one hour in some jihadist camp in Iran.
She needs to spend one hour in some jihadist camp in Iran.
Oh my, Heather!
She must have had a bad daddy, or no daddy and a toxic mommy.
She needs to go live in Iran a few years. She needs to disassociate from all things invented and built by males.
Feel free to move to Iran or any Middle Eastern or African muslim nation, or you could even try South America. Yeah that would work for you!
I’m laughing at all of the FReepers who can’t read.
This site has gone full retard.
For a moment I thought this was satire. It’s pretty funny.
I think you misread the article.....
Heather MacDonald is one of us.
Her opening was sarcasm.
