What you are trying to say, it seems, is that anybody who objects to state-sanctioned physical abuse of women and denial of basic services to women must be a raving feminist that wishes to declare all women victims, declare all men oppressors, and define men and women as separate species. That's quite a jump; is there any reasoning involved, or are you babbling again? Declaring that all men are rapists, as some extreme feminists do, is pretty dumb. Pretending that some women don't get raped is equally dumb. Stating that there are rapists and that they ought to be punished is not the same as claiming that all men are rapists. Not all women are victims. Not all men are oppressors. Some women are victims; they deserve our support. Some men are oppressors; they deserve our contempt. That conclusion has nothing to do with any feminist agenda. The defenders of religious extremism are simply trying to divert attention from their own hypocrisy by trying to claim that anyone pointing it out is a radical feminist. I hope that's clear enough for you.
