Where Are The Feminists?

Robert Fulford writes in The National Post about Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein, a female Sudanese journalist who will receive up to 40 lashes for the crime of wearing trousers.

When stories such as al-Hussein’s flash around the world, there’s usually a missing element: The feminist movement rarely becomes part of the narrative. The rise of shariah law constitutes the major global change in women’s status during this era, yet Western feminists remain pathetically silent.

Pathetically silent. So silent in fact that it takes a man to write about it.
