Radical Feminist Embraces
Islam - Guess What Happened
To Her Next
Liberals are quick to attack conservatives for violence and misogyny—
but continue to give Islam a free pass.

Radical left-wing activist, Lacy MacAuley, who leads violent protest group
“Antifa” in Washington, DC, came to regret that stance—after she
accompanied her Muslim boyfriend to his homeland of Turkey, where
“misogyny and patriarchy run deep.”

The Gateway Pundit dug up a ten-month-old archived blog post from
MacAuley’s website. Called, "My experience of intimate partner violence,
trapped in Turkey,” MacAuley explains her experience:
"I fell in love with an energetic, charismatic activist I met in November when
"I fell in love with an energetic, charismatic activist I met in November when
I was present to write about resistance to the G20 Summit, a global event
in Antalya, Turkey. After I came home to the US, we talked every day.
He was lovely and charming, I thought at the time. He offered a ready
smile, engaging kindness, and intelligent conversation. He said all the
right things to convince me that he cared about women’s rights and
activism. In February, I decided to return to Turkey with the promise of
love driving me forward. I couldn’t have known things would turn sour."
She then describes their first fight:
Things only got worse from there:

She then describes their first fight:
"I had wanted to interview a local woman for an article on Syrian
refugees. He did not approve. He knew the woman and did not like
her, so he strictly forbade me from speaking with her... I just stood in
the middle of the room not knowing what to do. Of course, as a Western
woman, no one had ever forbidden me from speaking with anyone else.
It was a strange feeling: Don’t I have a mouth to speak? Why can I not
use it as I wish?
This is elementary feminism. No man has the power to silence a woman,
just because he is a man."
Things only got worse from there:
"Things deteriorated rapidly,” she wrote. "His insecurity and childishness
got worse. In the following weeks, I was violently pushed, blocked from
leaving freely, and repeatedly told not to speak. If I spoke anyway,
anger erupted… Unwanted sex? Rape? All the time. He did not stop
to determine whether I consented to sex. Several times, he turned off
my wifi and lied about it, a modern-day form of gaslighting. He verbally
criticized me for using social media, my main link to the rest of my
life back in the US, and tried to discourage me from using it."
Through it all, MacAuley couldn’t quite understand how a Muslim man so
dedicated to liberal causes could be anything less than a feminist:
Though MacAuley doesn’t seem to realize it, she answers her own question
"I couldn’t have guessed that this man, who said he cared about women’s
rights, who spoke of how many activist friends that he had, who had
participated in many protests in the past, would turn on me, and that
he would become so angry and irrational.”
Though MacAuley doesn’t seem to realize it, she answers her own question
later in the blog post:
Upon leaving Turkey, MacAuley has continued her work to rally against
"One-third of men surveyed in Turkey in 2013 stated that it is “occasionally
necessary” to commit acts of violence against women, and 28 percent
stated that violence could be used to 'discipline women.’ I did not want to
believe that I was in this statistic.”
Upon leaving Turkey, MacAuley has continued her work to rally against
“totalitarianism” and “sexism” in the United States.
But like many liberals, she seems to still be unaware that the fact that
But like many liberals, she seems to still be unaware that the fact that
women, minorities, and just about everyone else, are more free and
more respected in the United States than most of the world.
