Hardly surprising -- there is no money or power politics advantage for American feminists to concern themselves with the plight of women world wide. "Sisterhood" is a myth.
The dogma lives loudly within me.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
It is like other current rights movements - it is no longer about the constituency, it is about maintaining the financial and social status of the 'leaders' by continuing to promote victimhood here at home.

All American feminism ever needed to insure its eventual demise was the rise of the next generation of young women who would take everything from them, including their men if they chose to have any, and eventually reduce them to where they are today, in liberal college campuses only. Oh yes, I believe that college campuses are about as important as some remote village in the worst place in … well fill in the blanks. Academics in anything but the hard technical sciences are frequently losers of one kind or another. Why should this status be reserved for men only?

Oh yes there is a sort of quasi acceptance of feminism in big corporations these days except of course for the glass ceiling. Women cannot have it all. Neither can men. No man will ever know the agony of giving birth or the thrill of looking at a new born baby that issued forth from inside themselves. No women will ever really know the hardest choices men have to make in the name of expediency, efficiency, getting the job done on time, under budget, etc.

It has been the illusion that there is no difference – when obviously there is – that has led feminism to this terrible philosophical dead end. The greatest casualty to higher education is common sense.

Feminists chose something else over Americanism, over nature itself. Those who ascribe to it – another religion – are doomed to a kind of insularity usually reserved for teachers of ancient Greek – death while living.

I’ve known a few feminists in my time, people who actually worked for Ms Magazine – do they still publish? I haven’t seen one in years - in fact or on the Mayor of New York’s special task force on gender equality. They’re all as old as I am, never married, never had children, and wow are they lonely! Most got their obligatory law degrees, will vote for HRC if she gets the nod, etc. But they’ve missed the boat and most of them secretly know it.

In my blackest moods I’d say they should all be rounded up and sent to Iran to face the reality of a society gone mad – where they can wear their black burkas in the boiling heat as they stand guard over a uranium enrichment plant – until we get smart and bomb the hell out of it!

It must really suck to be so wrong.
