(27,310 posts)I spent 10 hours yesterday communicating with some of these women and other Muslim feminists and you are just flat wrong.
Most support Amina, they do not support Femen driving the dialog. Contact them, see for yourself. Have that conversation. There feminism would challenge DUs HoF. One of their biggest concerns is that they've put Amina (A TEENAGER) in more danger because of their focus on a person rather than a system.
But they are also pissed off that they have co-opted own agency to direct her own protest. Yes, it is important to know what Amina wants. Does she want a target on her back. Does she want to escape to the west. Does she want to fade into obscurity.
In the many years into the lead up to Roe v Wade, feminists orgs could have dragged many unwilling women into the spotlight to make their case. But they waited for that one woman who was willing.
