      The reason western feminism focuses on petty things is because, if you ignore problems in Islam, all the big battles have been won.

      Reading that article, the author appears to be a standard 2nd wave radical. She doesn't have to call herself a feminist ->

      (of course) but I find her arguments disingenious. She's is pretending to fight "choice feminism" (as do intersectionals) ->

      but is actually fighting against intersectional feminists by falsely painting them as "choice feminists"

      She cleverly ignores that she has the entire academia and feminists orgs on side in this issue.

      Not as a Radfem, no. They'd call her a white feminist.

      Yes indeed but they agree with her regarding "choice feminism". They disagree on many other things, of course.

      I'm not sure they do. That would be ppl like Valenti & @Sarkeesian also placed very much in the white feminist camp by intersec

      really? They both consider themselves intersectionals and cite Bell Hooks continuously.

      I might be wrong, but the only people promoting "choice feminism" are people like us and we are not on best terms with the mov.

      All intensely ideological branches must oppose choice. Ppl are required to go along with the ideology.

          But as intersectionals will oppose choice as a manifestation of privilege afforded white cis women, radfems & non-intersec 1/2

          libfems will oppose it on the grounds of undermining the cause of women who must present a united ideological front.

          Agreed. That is why I find this article disingenuous. Nobody is arguing for choice feminism. It's a strawwoman!

          That's why celebrities get it a lot. They're not committed enough to ideology & often don't even know it - just pro-women.

          And you & I have no ideology, no theory, just a commitment to gender equality, universal human rights & individual freedom.

          Which makes us old-school liberals and not feminists & shows why we were right to drop the label.
