Best article on woke neo-feminists I've seen in a while

Dawn Perlmutter at Frontpage Magazine does a glorious fisking of woke feminists in an article found here.

One of the best parts was the comparison of European Femen and the Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights women:

During a counterprotest in Paris, in 2012, Femen members went topless and wore nuns habits in support of gay marriage. Now that was powerful protest symbolism. However, the topless Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights women who disrupted the WNBA game in Brooklyn just did not have the same aesthetic effect. Two hundred-pound, 5’2 middle-aged women who painted their breasts green and wore white blood-stained pants while running across the basketball court looked like a cross between Shrek and the Hulk escaping a lunatic asylum.

She also gives a good rundown on the mis-use of symbolism by these groups (they do not mean what they think they mean).  It’s interesting that one of the symbols is a green bandana–looks like they are co-opting a lesbian symbol for that.

The best quote from the article (IMO) is this:

Their impaired capacity for critical thinking, longing to be part of an oppressed class, and insatiable need for attention makes them especially gullible for misinformation and recruitment into a variety of abortion rights groups.

She is unfortunately correct in this.  These women are Karens on steroids and their need for attention makes them no different than the little girls who started the Salem Witch trials.   I’ve had conversations where the other woman wanted to go the emotional route about the overturning of Roe and was flabbergasted when I stuck to facts and law.

The women described are batshit crazy but are getting their jollies by showing their green painted tits in public and think that they are doing something important.  All they are is sad.

As Instapundit says, read the whole thing.

  2. The argument used to end a “right” to abortion is as bad, or worse than the counter-argument. The Constitution didn't mention “abortion”, but neither did the Constitution mention “television, the internet, antibiotics, aircraft, telephones, etc”. The SCOTUS decision targeted abortion and the creation/acceptance of unenumerated rights. That void in the Constitution (accepting unenumerated “rights”) is still unaddressed. It will be back.

  3. NFO-Yeah. Sorry about that…Mike-SMO–The argument used to try to enshrine abortion as a Constitutional right was bad, and they knew it at the time. It's also been the basis to pile on a whole bunch of non-constitutional 'rights'. Not sure where you are going with the television, internet etc.–there isn't a right to any of those items either but the original decision made it seem like there was.
