Just because someone's a feminist, it doesn't make that one particular individual correct, especially when there's other feminists who don't agree. There's things I don't agree on when it comes to one of the major feminist groups here. So who's right and who's wrong to someone who's argument is that the group here must be right because they live it, write it and research it? When it boils down to something where there are dissenting views within a group, whether something is correct or not really comes down to the strengths or weaknesses of the argument itself...

As I said, the fight for freedom and self-determination is about human rights for all Palestinians, and the fight for equality for women is about civil rights. They're two different sets of rights controlled by two different parties. There's no reasonable argument that can be put forward as to why full equality for women must be a prerequisite for Israel ending the occupation.
