CIJS - The poster girl of the Womens' March, Linda Sarsour, is a #ProblematicFave. Let's look at a couple of her Tweets.
(Someone need only point out, we'd also know we're living under Sharia in America when women get harassed for not covering their hair, and we're narrowly missing gay men going splat on the pavement).
I also find this one particularly interesting. Funny how she's so "pro-woman" and wants to march for womens' rights when it's in opposition to Trump, after she's perfectly comfortable saying **** like this about women she doesn't agree with;
Be careful who you select as the face of human rights, people.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
