Here’s the first blog from the Dr. Doolittle of the Dirtybits (If we could talk to the genitals…), Eve Ensler. Here are a few excerpts; you’ll notice her trademark blend of concern for a serious problem with laughably false observations and conclusions, flap-jawed feminism, anti-Americanism, and solipsism:
The world is essentially a battlefield upon which women are being raped, terrorized, tortured, beaten, sold, burned, kidnapped and murdered. The most terrifying part is that in just about every place this war has become normal, ordinary. … Violence against women is central to everything. Women are the primary resource of the planet and there is a war on women. When they are threatened, violated, suppressed, and destroyed, so is life itself. This violence is not accidental. It is the mechanism through which patriarchy sustains itself. … It doesn’t matter if it’s the Taliban in Afghanistan robbing women of the right to work or be educated; or college girls in America being date raped as a way of eradicating their self-esteem, freedom and sexuality; or young women in Africa having their clitorises cut, removing their desire and independence; or girls in Juarez, Mexico being kidnapped and left for dead in parking lots….
The policies of the United States are in many cases, escalating this war. If we look at Iraq as one example, we see that under the terrible tyranny of Saddam Hussein, women lived difficult lives, but they were actually one of the most liberated and free in the Middle East. Since the U.S. invasion and occupation, the situation has becoming increasingly desperate…
Ensler’s pining for Saddam Hussein is not surprising ? after the U.S. took out the Taliban, she dropped her performances of the “vagina monologue” from Afghanistan and started screeching that “Afghanistan Is Everywhere.” Also not surprising is her conflation of illegal crimes against women in the U.S. with legal practices in Africa, the Middle East, etc. After all, nothing keeps the donations flowing in from guilt-ridden leftists like rhetoric about America’s immoral equivalency!
I miss the situation for women under Saddam, too!
