The Frivolousness of American Feminists

Christina Hoff Sommers eviscerates most of the major women's groups in the US for their total indifference to the plight of Muslim women and the conflation of their sisters' plight to their own superficial concerns about body image. 

Subjection of Islamic Women

The Katha Pollitts and Eve Enslers, the vagina warriors and university gender theorists--these are women who cannot distinguish between free and unfree societies, between the Taliban and the Promise Keepers, between being forced to wear a veil and being socially pressured to be slender and fit. Their moral obtuseness leads many of them to regard helping Muslim women as "colonialist" or as part of a "hegemonic" "civilizing mission." It disqualifies them as participants in this moral fight.

Since I believe that the reformation of Islam is likely to come through the uprising of millions of Muslim women demanding equality, the frivolousness of most American feminists and groups like NOW is very depressing.
