THE WOMEN’S MOVEMENT IS WORTHLESS
Power Line ^ | NOVEMBER 16, 2023 . | John H. Hinderaker

Posted on 11/16/2023 5:56:55 PM PST by george76

I know, that isn’t exactly a news flash. But has there ever been more definitive proof than the silence of most feminists in the face of Gaza’s brutal assault on Israeli women? Caroline McCaughey writes in the New York Sun:

One of the first videos uploaded to social media of the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7 showed the kidnapping of a 26-year-old Israeli, Noa Argamani, on the back of a motorcycle as she reaches out and screams, “Don’t kill me!”

Another was of 23-year-old German national, Shani Louk, whose partially clothed, contorted body in the back of a pickup truck led to speculation she was already dead. The Israeli government later confirmed she was beheaded. A third video showed Hamas terrorists dragging a 19-year-old Israeli, Na’ama Levy, out of a Jeep in Gaza, her arms tied behind her back, blood pooling between the legs of her gray sweatpants.

The targeting of civilians — and women in particular — was clear from day one of this war. Hamas members posted their savagery online for the world to see. Yet those first videos were only the tip of the iceberg. In the weeks since the October 7 attacks, more evidence has come to light that Hamas intentionally used rape and sexual violence as a weapon of war.

One might think this would be shocking to feminists attuned to the subtlest of transgressions in the workplace. But no.

UN Women, the United Nations’s leading organization for the protection of women’s rights internationally, issued its first statement on the Hamas attacks on October 13. There is no mention of Hamas in the statement. There is no mention of sexual violence. It does call for the “immediate release of the hostages,” but the majority of the text is devoted to the “dire” situation in Gaza.

The U.N. is also a worthless organization.

“I could never understand how Holocaust denial could actually take place. And what we are now experiencing is a denial of the most atrocious events that took place only a month ago, and were filmed in real time and broadcast in real time,” [Ruth Halperin-Kaddari] said at the Harvard event.

There is much more at the link, much of it distressing to read.

Here, Shurat HaDin of the Israel Law Center calls out alleged feminists:

...

I think the mistake is to believe that there has been, for the last several decades, anything good or well-intentioned about the feminist movement. It has always served the interests of a thin slice of upper-middle-class women, while denigrating and opposing the interests of the large majority of women in America and other Western countries. As to the great mass of the world’s women, whose problems even in peacetime are far removed from those of the Upper West Side, feminists have never shown anything but callous indifference. Add a dose of anti-Semitism, and the feminist indifference to Gaza’s outrages was overdetermined.

Feminists are nothing but demented Marxists with vaginas. They are not worth any man’s time.

They are also inexcusably silent on the issue of female genital mutilation that is practiced in so many muslim countries.

They simply don’t care about women any more than any other leftists do.

And how many women are vocal and protest fake men taking over their sports? Very damn few.

Feminism was only ever about destruction of the family.

Rush Limbaugh was in favor of the women’s movement — especially if he was walking behind it.

Rush Limbaugh, “undeniable truth of life number 24: Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of pop culture.”

And so it is.

Marxism has many false fronts. Feminism is one of them. Where was their defense of women during the Clinton years? Where are they when men invade women’s bathrooms? Where are they when men take over female sports?

LOL! Spot-on definition! If feminism meant anything feminists would be celebrating women like Phyllis Schlafly. Sarah Palin. Jeanne Kirkpatrick. Condoleeza Rice. Internationally Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir. But no.... never.

Leftists are evil. Absolutely evil. They are either committing the evil, or they either outright refuse to admit the evil they see, or bury their heads in the sand and ignore it.

They are not called “femiNAZIS” for nothing.

Women's rights eventually lead to Islam. ☪️

Strong women need strong men to survive.

They’re not out there protesting and doing shhh for women’s rights, they are a selfish lot.

They are out there protesting and screaming to get hopped up on emotion.

It’s all to get goosebumps and feel like there’s importance to their empty life.

It’s more of a bumper sticker or a ‘flair’ pin.

All the Middle eastern women dying for not covering their heads...the women raped and paraded...men nullifying women by declaring that THEY are women and kicking women’s tush.

Yeah, think of the above as the garbage that blows around after a dirty parade, celebration etc.

‘Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth.’-Mike Tyson.

Feminists have a plan. They know who the violent ones are. Discretion over valor. So
who do they choose to fight?
It’s funny you’d think they’d stand up to the bullies wanting to use
their bathrooms. Perhaps it’s part of a bigger plan to ‘fundamentally change’ this
country. Sacrifices to be made. What else could it be? LGBTQ for Palestine?

If you look at the position of her shorts in an early photo and in later photos in gaza with her leg twisted, it is consistent with her having the shorts taken off and later put back on. As an Egyptian Christian Preacher stated, Islam allows intercourse with a corpse up to six hours after death.
