    Helen Pluckrose Retweeted Matt Dooley

    Mind-reading and whataboutism is rarely helpful. Reluctance to criticise oppression unless its committed by white westerners is inconsistent and leaves minorities within minorities vulnerable. I wrote a whole thing about this new kind of orientalism. https://conatusnews.com/western-centric-intersectional-feminism/ …https://twitter.com/mrkringerz/status/985183053759692800 …

    My concern is with people who pretend to be feminist (usually males) in order to bash Muslims. I think there is also a tendency to overlook the issues of inequality in our own backyards by pointing fingers at the “other” and saying how terrible they are.

        I'll find one day a link to an article on the niqab where the author claims that the women she interviewed found it "empowering", while when you read the actual interview quotes you understand that they wore it to avoid being harassed by other members of their community...

        You are a treasure! I grew up in US from family of Mideast immigrants, it was common to criticize the homeland. But then I noticed far-leftists thinking this is wrong to critique. You summed up so many of the things I could never articulate. Thank you so much!

        I criticise my countries feminism all the time, they are just parrots. Since MeToo they have been Zombied though it needs to be dealt with we're seeing almost demagogue level nuttiness. They go quiet when you ask them why they won't help women in real patriarchies, all of them.

        Way for @mrkringerz to dismiss all the Muslim & Ex-Muslim women (and men) campaigning for better rights for women in Muslim communities: it must be white men who want to criticise patriarchal oppressive religious practices. Or something...
