oh man, do you actually think that any of the people who are pushing the 
buttons and entering the coordinates for the bombs in afghanistan give a 
flying fuck about brown women? one wonders, then, why they're bombing them.

and yes, i'm sure there are white men who care, but so what? i'm so tired of 
seeing someone's generalization used as a way to disqualify the whole 
argument in the sanctimonious name of rigour. fuck that. don't be so 
disingenuous.
