    They’re not. Next question.

    I just read her wiki page and she sure does find herself in a lot of controversies

      She’s the worst. My brother got taken in by her podcast. After I sent him some critical coverage of her work, he was able to see the grift. Bari is insidious.

      I’m not a fan of hers, but I do think she has a point here.

      There was a significantly different response by progressives to the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram and the hostages taken by Hamas. When posters were put up of the kidnapped Israelis they were ripped down by the same kinds of people who tweeted #BringBackOurGirls.

      I know there will be many downvotes to this comment, but I consider myself a progressive and am worried that progressives are losing sight of their values in favour of what is the prevailing groupthink online

        I’ll admit I didn’t watch it because I hate the charged clickbait title (and I’m not gonna watch a video about rape on my phone at work) but it sure feels like she’s homogenizing feminism by attributing the silence of some to all feminists. It’s like titling a video “Why are Jews silent on the Palestinian genocide?” when it only applies to some.

        Downvoted are for comments that don’t add to the discussion (which you are) so I hope you don’t get dogpiled
