HERE we see a supposedly "Progressive minded" individual, Geraldo Rivera, arguing for the rights of certain men to imprison and rape their wives, while depriving their daughters of education.
Tell me, has "Progressivism" jumped the shark?
SYD
H/T to "Reclusive Leftist" for calling this one out!

This is awful. I was afraid this was coming...women better get their act together because next thing we will be seeing is sharia law in the US being ok and men killing their wives and daughters and not being prosecuted. This is really really bad news.
ReplyDeleteStarted feeding people to the shark, more like.
ReplyDeleteNot that Geraldo is particularly an exemplar of progressivism (or of anything other than sensationalism), but there is far too much of this. People excuse Islamic societies for behavior that they would rightly declare intolerable if it were being done by anyone else.
It's striking to me that the people who most courageously denounce this kind of abuse are ex-Muslims -- people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Ibn Warraq -- in marked contrast to the timorousness of Wwesterners.
