“The silence of the marchers and protesters, the petitioners and kneelers, is deafening. Is #Afghanistan too far away? Are Afghan #women not deserving of our sympathies? Or is the #Taliban, unlike Trump, the wrong type of enemy? British #feminists have grown so used to talking about the make-believe oppression apparently experienced by privileged women with media careers and vast salaries, or the pathetic non-issue of socially inadequate young men wolf-whistling on street corners, that they are now unable to recognise real oppression when it stares them in the face. At least, that’s one explanation. The other is that #woke activists are so fearful of being associated with any whiff of Islamophobia that they cannot bring themselves to condemn the atrocities now being confronted by Afghan women.”
