ISIS was more direct about it and beheaded a woman who resisted one of its fighters.</p>\n<p>But we don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t have to travel to the Middle East to see real horrors. The sex grooming scandal in the UK involved the rape of thousands of girls. <strong>The rapists were Muslim men so instead of talking about it, the UK\u00e2\u0080\u0099s feminists bought $75 shirts reading, \u00e2\u0080\u009cThis is what a feminist looks like\u00e2\u0080\u009d which were actually being made by Third World women living sixteen to a room.</strong> This was what a feminist looked like and it wasn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t a pretty picture.</p>\n<p>The same willful unseriousness saw Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a survivor of genital mutilation and an informed critic of Muslim misogyny, booted from Brandeis by self-proclaimed feminists. Meanwhile the major feminist cause at the moment is Gamergate, a controversy over video games which can be traced back to a female game developer who slept with a video game reviewer. <strong>Professional feminists have spent more time and energy denouncing video games than the sale and rape of girls in Nigeria and Iraq</strong>.</p>\n<p>That is what feminism looks like and there is something seriously wrong with that.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>(Emphasis mine.)</p>\n<p>Feminism as currently constructed is not about \"treating women as people\" or even \"equality\" -- it is about privileged Western women gaining power over privileged Western men.
