Why The Arab World Needs a New Wave of Feminism -- and Who Could Lead It

[Beacool]

4. I have mixed feelings about the doctor's article.

She seems to feel that the feminist movement has sold out:

"However, the Western feminist movement that was once an inspiration for human rights has become a shadow of its former luminous self, and in its post-modern form, third generation feminists are silent on Muslim women's rights. Instead, they are preoccupied with issues dear to the far left, like radical versions of moral relativism, post-colonialism and anti-Americanism."

Is she right? I never thought of it in the context that she put it.
