what I am tired of

Donald Sensing on Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali:

The sheik has since apologized for the remarks, which were assailed by right-thinking Ausssies from Prime Minister Howard on down. “Federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner Miss Pru Goward said there could be no backtracking over the comments. ‘He could be guilty of incitement to the crime of rape and should be deported,’ she said. ” Read the comments at the bottom of the story; they’s a trip, including a Briton who asks, reasonably enough, just where is the feminists’ outrage?

I am really tired of the “Where is the __________’s outrage on this?” blogging device. I think Glenn Reynolds might be guilty of being the protege for this retarded little rhetorical move. Where’s the outrage? I don’t know, why don’t you tell us where it’s not? Is Donald Sensing out there poring over the feminist blogging community, noting the absense of outrage? Are his leftist feminist friends condoning Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali? I doubt it. This technique is childish. Knock it off.

Well here’s my outrage on that. Just for what it’s worth.

I’m not leftist - but by my own reckoning I am a feminist.

That movie you were talking about Saturday night was “Stir of Echos” with Kevin Bacon, I believe. Wonder of all Wonders is that it is on my tv.
