A New Muse Versus the Old Feminist Mystique

by Demosophist

Wretchard claims that the intellect behind I Could Scream (a muse by the name of Dymphna) is not he. But whoever she is she helps put the "Club" in "Belmont." Describing the new blog's mission as "a different vision" he observes, with typical eloquence:

The concerns of NOW in relation to those of Muslim women occupy the same relative position as the worries of the characters in Seinfeld to those in rural Bangladesh.

1 Where the Liberal orthodoxies of radical feminism and cultural diversity clash, you get absolute silence. And why not? Let conservatives deal with it, and then get branded "racist". It works out well for the Libs. Just like the Europeans let America deal with Iran, N. Korea, etc. They get the benefits, but we take the political hits. It's a pattern, watch for it.

2 You might be interested, too, in an article from a female Saudi journalist at Arab News, which I've blogged at Crossroads Arabia. She makes many of the same points, noting that it is for Saudi women to determine what's important for themselves.

3 "The concerns of NOW in relation to those of Muslim women occupy the same relative position as the worries of the characters in Seinfeld to those in rural Bangladesh." Werent' the feminists the first to raise alarms about the taliban, like, before it was cool.
