She should be ignored but...

There is no one more shallow, more vapid, more silly, more sensational, more attention seeking, more uninsightful, more ill-informed, more unoriginal than this woman writing in Now Hariri.  Arab feminists mock her or mostly disregard her--to be fair--and yet she is considered by ignorant Western journalists as an "Arab feminist".   Here, she tells Muslim women how to be feminist.  What is hilarious is that this woman never ever talked about herself as a feminist and expressed hostility to feminists (read my article about her from four years ago here), until some roving Western journalist decided to refer to her as a feminist and she took that label with relish.
