“Swiss feminists were apparently in the lead in the “Stop the Minarets” campaign. No surprise there really. Salman Rushdie is not the only one to read Islamic texts (and behavior) as an assault on women. Anyone with eyes open, certainly an intelligent female, would. If only our own feminists could get off their reactionary multi-culturalist behinds in this regard.”

When you realize that the objection by feminists is to minarets and their phallic shape, (as mentioned at the Times link) and not specifically Islam, the reality comes clear.

Since the prime objective of feminism is to “liberate” women from the “oppression” of husbands and children, the fact that American feminists haven’t noticed this issue is no surprise at all. Men are ALL pigs, according to feminism, and to single out one group from the many would take focus away from the Violence Against Women Act, which has proven thus far to be the most efficient means of achieving their actual goals here in the US.

VAWA is due to be reauthorized in 2010, and this time around is facing some serious challenges. Feminists can’t let that happen, as it has only destroyed thousands of families, and their goal is millions. This is not even to mention the legions of feminists it employs, who otherwise would not have jobs at all, as degrees in women’s studies are worthless in the private-sector job market.

They simply don’t have any time to concern themselves with buildings in Switzerland. We’ve got too many women who are still married, some of whom (horrors!) are actually taking care of their own children in their own homes.
