sexism, lets play.

181. Someday maybe I too can be omniscient

and presume to know what's in everyone else's head. Alas, I am only human and have no God-like powers.

I actually saw it when LadyHawkAZ provided the links.

Of course men on DU are applauding Amina's actions. She showed her breasts. And besides she's overseas, where it's safe for men to claim they support women's causes because it has no impact on their own lives. That a bunch of men who show their antipathy for feminists and women in general at every turn applaud this particular protest tells me their interests are voyeuristic. I expect few know anything about what she was protesting. I've seen a lot of posts about evil Muslims and little interest in understand Algeria.

These same men have no problem with the threats of death and rape against Adria Richards and says she deserves everything she gets. So pardon me if I don't buy this sudden conversion to carrying about the lives of women when they are so completely indifferent to violence against women in the US and directly hostile to basic requirements like EEOC laws in the workplace. That some of these same men taunt rape survivors for kicks, insist that women don't really mean no when they say they don't want to have sex and that 13 year old girls bear responsibility for being raped by 37 year old men, and then tell women we shouldn't post about rape in public forums leaves me less than impressed with their sudden conversion to feminist causes. I guess I missed the memo specifying that an Algerian woman's life is worth more than those of American women.
