The Feminists Who Hate MAGA More than They Hate the Mullahs
A movement in thrall to anti-western animus

Some commentators have expressed disappointment at the relative silence of feminists on the situation of Iranian women. “Isn’t feminism supposed to be about women’s liberation?” asked Iranian-born Sheila Nazarian, a Beverly Hills doctor and media personality.
Nazarian expressed shock that “with Iran, a country where women are governed by absolutist religious law that hardly treats them as human, so many Western feminists either maintain their silence or end up supporting the regime.”
Annabel Denham, columnist and senior political commentator at The Telegraph, recently expressed similar astonishment, asking “Where is the support for [Iranian women’s] glorious defiance? The Instagram carousels, the breathless declarations of ‘solidarity’ from former Harry Potter stars and pouting influencers?”
Others have noted the lack of outcry by feminist athletes, including the normally-vociferous Megan Rapinoe, over the request for asylum by members of the Iranian women’s soccer team.
