The Feminist Majority: Colonial (and Racist) Feminism

"That is why it was so discouraging to learn that the Feminist Majority Foundation has lent its good name -- and the good name of feminism in general -- to advocate for further troop escalation and war. On its foundation Web site, the first stated objective of the Feminist Majority Foundation's "Campaign for Afghan Women and Girls" is to "expand peacekeeping forces." First of all, coalition troops are combat forces and are there to fight a war, not to preserve peace. Not even the Pentagon uses that language to describe U.S. forces there. More importantly, the tired claim that one of the chief objectives of the military occupation of Afghanistan is to liberate Afghan women is not only absurd, it is offensive."" Please don't say that the Feminist Majority has a good name: it has a dirty name that will forever be associated with the name of George W. Bush and his colonial war in Afghanistan. Of course, the Feminist Majority would not support a war against a white country to "liberate" its women because the Feminist Majority is a racist organization that believes that brown and black women should be bombed from the air in the name of their "liberation."
