Extreme Hypocrisy Within Feminist Movement?

    As many of you will be aware, western civilization has recently seen an up-rise of the feminist movement.
    Many of the feminist marches across the west have included protests involving oppression,mens rights events, LGBT rights and Donald Trump.

    I find it bizarre that feminists in Ireland and UK will angrily protest and march against Trump and for women and LGBT rights but will stay silent and ignore on matters such as the treatment of women and LGBT's in African and Middle Eastern counties.
    LGBT's are literally killed or at best put in prison in many of these counties and unfortunately women in these Islamic countries (Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Morocco, Iran) are often treated worse than the average cat or dog would be treated over here.

    Are the majority of feminists afraid of pressing these issues in fear of being called racist or are they simply just protesting against whatever is "popular" or "trendy" at the time of the protest?:confused:

    You can start your own protest by setting up a twitter, getting five followers, complaining about something and then waiting for the daily mail to report it.

    Feminism is an offshot of Marxism, neo Marxists don't ever criticise minority groups.

    Somewhere a bar stool is missing its philosopher.

    Mod- This will go well. If you want a proper debate start your thread in Humanities https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=21

    Be prepared to properly debate though and also read the local charter over there.
