If feminists are all about women's rights then why do they promote Linda Sarsour? (Brown, March)

[Niserwomn]

She is all about sharia law and the burqa yet, when we had the ridiculous "women's March" the feminists gave her a platform and held her up as some kind of paragon of women. The hell?

A true old school feminist wouldn't have anything to do with Sarsour, in my opinion, I could be wrong.

Sarsour has got a right to say what she thinks, per the first amendment, but damn, she's a nasty ugly vile mean spirited hag.

That's my first amendment right to speak at play.

You would call me a liberal. I’ve never heard of her.

Spend a few minutes googling her.

She's a peach of a woman.

Most feminists hate men and would love nothing more than to subvert men. "Equality" is the smokescreen. Very few feminists are actually about true equality. I work with many self-proclaimed feminists and they literally hate men and view them as scum. They would love nothing more than to rule over a man.

[Delahanty]

Because they're not strong women.

Memo: Many of us are strong women, who never needed to carry the feminist banner, or rally behind a spokesmouth, in order to assert ourselves.

Oh, and we like men.

Feminists will support Muslim women's rights to be "traditional", but won't support Christian women who want to do the same.

There is a difference, in an effort to be fair and even handed.

On the intersectionality chart that I just pulled out of my desk and dusted off, it appears that since Muslim women can sometimes be brown, they get a point.

Christian women tend to be less brown, they don't get the point. Christianity is also lower on the points scale than those poor oppressed Muslims who are adherents to Islam.

Sorry, Christian women are SOL.
