Iranian Women and American Feminists

I once attended a dental hygiene appointment with an Iranian woman. I asked her, “As a woman from Iran, do you find it therapeutic to inflict pain on men?” She said, “Not at all, you’re not Hashemi Rafsanjani.”

American feminists have a lot to learn from women such as this. They experience horrendous abuse in their home countries. But they don’t allow it to make them hate men, and they are willing to see the next man for who he individually is.

Whereas most American feminism-affiliated women are absolute brats. They don’t experience anything like what women in Iran experience, yet they decide that men as such are their enemy. So they take it out on men nearest the liberal centers of learning and culture, who are the least misogynistic men out there and from whom they don’t have to fear what they have to fear from genuinely misogynistic Muslim, Southern or right-wing men. Meanwhile they are too chicken to fight real wrongdoers, instead seeing themselves superior to women who find themselves in the lives of these real wrongdoers. I have news for them. They are not. Muslim women, for one, are much stronger and wiser than they are. They deal with hideous brutality in their home countries; but they don’t allow it to make them hate men.

To these feminists: I refuse to be your whipping boy. You haven’t dealt with real misogynists; I have. Go fight father’s lobby types yourselves if you are the strong and independent women that you say you are. Once you do, you will have earned the right to call yourselves strong and independent women, and you may even have my support. And until you do, you are cowards and hypocrites who attack people who are easy to attack while doing nothing to fight real wrongs.
