The “this” in question is that all men are sexist pigs, which means it doesn’t make any difference if we let in lots of sexist men from the Middle East. One shouldn’t expect anything to change.
I sort of knew this already, or at least I knew that some feminists held such a belief, but it may be that all feminists do. A friend is sitting in on a college German class, and they were assigned readings about immigration, one of which was by a feminist who clearly held this belief. The feminist in question certainly didn’t seem a bit worried about having men more sexist than the average German man coming in and destroying their society. It just didn’t seem to occur to her.
I’ve been waiting for years for feminists to wake up, but it seems very unlikely to happen. Or rather, a few older feminists may figure things out, but each year a large number of young females turns eighteen, and all of them have been indoctrinated with the idea that Muslim men are no different from Western men. There’s really no hope from the feminists.
Back when I first heard of feminism I supposed it was about promoting rights of women, and I thought it was basically a good idea. But I've come to realize feminists don't care about women's rights at all. I first realized this when I was living in Russia and Ukraine, and women there explained to me why they opposed feminism -- they kept telling me they were for women's rights, but that western feminism is about hating men. I argued that they were wrong, but then would follow an encounter with American feminist women who would start kvetching about everything wrong with men -- mostly men's biological nature.
The idiocy of feminism is revealed when most of them insist there be "women only" sporting events, simultaneously insisting "women are equal in every way," and then willingly accepting male competitors who claim to be women and proceed to clobber the actual women. Those who don't agree are TERFs, and condemned as vile bigots.
You've occasionally observed that the logical progression of feminism is that they'll eventually all convert to fundamentalist Islam and don burkas, just to show their hatred of the West and solidarity with the anticolonialist Other.
Probably so, and sadly that might well be an improvement.
