Thanks for posting this article. It's interesting. What are the specific criticisms of the FMF and "liberals" that you think are valid? I'm thinking that certain criticisms like these . . .
*feminists in the US are trying to "save their brown sisters from brown men," *feminists in US are "sensationalizing" the plight of women "over there" *feminists are deluding women in the US into believing that they no longer need to direct their feminist activism to women's conditions in the west
. . . were these kinds of criticisms levelled at African-American activists working to end apartheid in South Africa? Of Chicanos supporting the Zapatistas & various struggles in Latin America? If not, why not?
