Christina Sommer's complaint against the expansion of the feminist agenda into world politics is the same sort of complaint made against Martin Luther King Jr. when he expanded his agenda to include the anti-Vietnam war protests. Martin, they said, was an uppity nigger communist who didn't know his proper place. Sommers is accusing modern day feminists of the same sin. The "girls" should stay home and not bother their pretty little heads about racial apartheid in Israel. The feminist domestic concern about male-instigated abuse is rightfully on the feminist agenda. It is confirmed by stories in the news every day about rape and kidnapping, about revenge killing by males in broken relationships, and by the continuing abuse women experience in large business establishments like Fox News. Aside from the Fox News clown circus we have witnessed in the past few days a male teacher kidnapping one of his female students and a rejected husband fatally shooting his estranged wife and wounding two of her innocent pupils at her school work place. There is ample reason why women should be concerned about world politics (equality of responsibility, after all) and plenty of visual evidence why they should be concerned about domestic violence, which is the story line of most video and film dramas, as well as news crime reports. Christina Sommers is the Uncle Tom of the modern day feminist movement.
