Someone put up a sign that said “Islam is right about women and gays.” People melted down and politicians condemned it. This happened in Massachusetts. The Salem witch trials are back. Causing cognitive dissonance will soon be a hate crime.

Just curious, but did they condemn islam for this, or was it a blanket condemnation of "men"? I would bet the house that it was the latter because the same militant feminists who condemn "men" are among the first to scream about "islamophobia" when the slightest criticism is directed towards muslims.

As I recall, the response was something like "Oh, this is such a typically misogynistic thing to say, and it is Islamophobic to boot because it falsely implies that Islam is misogynistic when in reality this is simply a projection of the warped, woman-hating and xenophobic western mind."

What a convoluted way of thinking, no wonder we are in real trouble.

Yes! Excellent question. This is a real life example of a situation where feminists and their supporters would be tying themselves up in knots. What on earth to do when one "sacred cow" contradicts the other "sacred cow"?

Situations along these lines help to reveal the epistemological and moral house of cards that feminism is built on.

It was condemned because it wasn't put there in good faith, but rather to intentionally cause anger and distress. Sometimes tact is the better approach.

How do you know what the intention was?
