(57,752 posts)and not you. Their version of feminism was limited to running around topless. That is all they have done. Sure, they mixed it with some insults against Islam and admonitions against chubby chicks, but when the entire shtick has to fit across a very thin 20 somethings breasts, there's not much room anything over 3 words. So we had a group of "hot chicks" picked by a Russian oligarch who purposefully excluded "chubby chicks" and women who were not very young. A group that did't question or denounce patriarchy but instead Islam. A group that refused to listen to or accommodate any of the concerns--and not even the bodies--of women in member chapters outside Europe. So topless hot chicks with three word slogans that didn't force European and American men to question their own privilege or inconvenience themselves in any modest way. Plus it was all limited to three word slogans. Perfect for the audience hearing about women's concerns. Hence the applause here, particularly among those who oppose women's rights.
The subjects I included above should clue you into who that is. When someone tells me I don't have a right to speak about violence against women and rape, they don't support women's rights. They obviously have their own reasons for wanting to make women shut up about rape and abuse, but whatever those are, they are not on my side. When they don't support the application of EEOC laws in the work place, that puts them to the right of Ronald Reagan on women's rights and therefore not my ally. I don't care how much it pisses you off that I make that point. I assure you it pisses me off far more to have every thread I post about those issues invaded by characters telling me I have no right to post such information.
