You know what's so unjust about the way that conservatives approach feminist activists these days? The conservatives actually expect them to choose a side. How unsophisticated is that?

Actually, this "we oppose everything" liberal activism is starting to get a little tired. You can be for robust US military force used in the interest of liberating women and gays from the yoke of political Islam or you can be against it. You obviously can't be for both - but more importantly, you really can't be for neither. Opposing the only force currently working to free women and gays from sharia oppression is functionally equivalent to supporting their oppressors. "Both sides are wrong" is the height of shallowness - yes of course everyone is wrong in some way. But not everyone is equally wrong or bad. The question to ask someone who opposes the side that is better is: why do you choose to care about that and not this far more problematic thing?

This is from earlier this year, but it's a pretty decent illustration of how even the most minor attempts to help women are met with hysterical opposition by those whose hearts and minds we're constantly told we should be trying to win:

Anyway, Code Pink. defaced a Marine recruitment center last week. Gateway Pundit has the story along with a bunch of pictures attesting to the things that these people choose to care about.
