But being accurate is hard...
Danielle Crittenden argues that feminists should have supported the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and only didn't because they're partisan Democrats who would never support any action by the a Republican President.
This would probably be a better argument if she hadn't made it up out of thin air. It only appears to get off the ground by acting as if support for the widely supported war in Afghanistan is exactly the same as support for the war in Iraq. It also conveniently ignores that feminists were among the, if not the, first opponents of the Taliban. They were the ones calling attention to how terrible the Taliban was prior to September 11th. So it's fallacious argument and I would be skeptical about trusting claims Crittenden makes in the future. Some of her posts are rather funny, but whenever she's commenting about politics she seems to just repeat Republican talking points.
