"The rest of us, meanwhile, will keep cheering every crater in Natanz and Fordow. Because some of us still believe that protecting women means destroying the regimes that enslave them—not protesting the people who finally had the courage to do it."
"For decades, the American Left’s loudest voices on women’s issues styled themselves as fearless guardians of peace and equality. They chained themselves to fences at nuclear bases, waved “No Nukes” signs during the Reagan years, and lectured the rest of us about the patriarchy while demanding the Equal Rights Amendment and unfettered abortion. Jane Fonda, the original celebrity activist, was at the forefront—Vietnam-era traitor turned fitness-video feminist turned Trump-hating scold. These women claimed moral high ground on nuclear proliferation and women’s rights.
"Then Donald Trump happened.
"The moment Trump descended the golden escalator in 2015, something snapped. Suddenly, the same women who once warned that Ronald Reagan’s defense buildup would end civilization found themselves marching in pink hats, screaming about “pussy grabs,” and declaring the 45th president a greater threat than any foreign dictator. Their feminism didn’t evolve; it mutated into a cult of anti-Trumpism so total that it now requires them to defend the indefensible.
"Fast-forward to today. Israel and the United States have finally done what sane people have long demanded: crippled Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Precision strikes have turned enrichment facilities into smoking craters, setting back the ayatollahs’ apocalyptic bomb by years. Any rational feminist should be cheering. Iran’s regime is the planet’s leading sponsor of terror, executes women for “improper hijab,” and has openly vowed to wipe Israel off the map. Destroying its nuclear capability should be a victory for every woman who values her own skin.
"Instead, the former nuclear freeze crowd is in the streets protesting the destruction of the Iranian nuclear program. Leading the charge? Jane Fonda herself.
"Welcome to the age of the Karens for Khamenei." . . .
. . . "Real Iranian women risk their lives tearing off hijabs and chanting “Woman, Life, Freedom.” They are beaten, imprisoned, and hanged for the crime of wanting basic dignity. Meanwhile, Jane Fonda—safe in her California mansion—poses for cameras in front of “Protect Iran” banners. The same woman who once sat on an anti-aircraft gun in Hanoi now effectively sits on the side of the regime that would stone her for wearing the wrong outfit." . . .
