What is implied here is that Angelina Jolie and other sexy Hollywood stars are somehow not feminists.

Jolie is a career woman not a "sex object" and she has done very extensive humanitarian work. Anyone who thinks that a woman has to look like a man and forego being feminine in order to be equal to a man is sexist and anti-feminist.

Here are a few examples of feminists some of whom were literally murdered for their beliefs - but I guess in the eyes of a misogynist they too don't count because they wear lipstick.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichiee

Dolly Parton

Germaine Greer

Glenda Jackson

Hilary Mantel

Jess Phillips

JK Rowling

Jo Cox (murdered)

Kate Harris

Mahsa Amini (murdered)

Malala Yousafzai (nearly murdered)

Marie Lagouste

Marissa Blacklance (murdered)

Nusrat Jahan Rafi (murdered)

Rosie Duffield

Sabrina Chevannes

Shere Hite

Stephenie Meyer

dear radfems,

i want to introduce you to Viyan Antar – a woman who fought against ISIS – and the controversy that followed after her death.

Born into a kurdish family, Antar married very young through a marriage arranged/forced by her family. After three months, she got divorced and joined the ranks of the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) to fight for the emancipation of women from the hands of patriarchal oppression in the region.

Antar gained international attention in 2015 when a photojournalist took photos of her and described her as "the Kurdish Angelina Jolie". Many media sites recirculated the photos, turning it into news and also comparing her with Spanish actress Penélope Cruz.

On August 30, 2016, three ISIS suicide bombers drove cars filled with explosives towards the Kurdish front line. Antar and other YPJ fighters destroyed two of the cars but the third detonated close to Antar, killing her. Her death was announced on Facebook on August 31, saying she was "martyred in battle against Daesh [ISIS]".

After her death, news headlines announced "the Kurdish Angelina Jolie has died," emphasizing the physical resemblance between the two as much as her participation in the fight against ISIS. This was condemned by supporters of the Kurdish cause including other fighters. This is how the controversy started.

The media's treatment of her as a person was seen as demeaning by many Kurdish activists, especially given Antar's feminist leanings. Choman Kanaani, an activist and Kurdish fighter who repudiated the Western media's treatment of Antar, told the BBC that, "The entire philosophy of YPJ is to fight sexism and prevent using women as a sexual object". He added:

We want to give women their rightful place in society and for them to own their own destinies. Viyan died for these ideals. In the media, no-one talked about the ideals for which she gave her life, nor what Viyan achieved for women in Rojava in the past years when she joined YPG.

Agrin Senna, a YPJ commander also lambasted the comparison with Angelina Jolie and said all of the women fighters who had died and had refused to live under ISIS’ rule were equal.

Look at their pictures, they are all angels, all beautiful, you can’t pick one just because she looks like a Hollywood actress, Angelina Jolie or Julia Roberts.

They have nothing in common with them. They prefer to die rather than live under one of the most anti-women groups in the world.

Rest in Power, all the women who lost their lives during their fight against ISIS!

Inspiración y ejemplo. No puedo creer tu muerte, hace casi un mes (según leí), pronto empezaste a luchar y a vivir por los demás y pronto te fuiste. No puedo creer que haya mas notas donde se te compara con actrices que donde se habla de tu lucha, tus ideales y filosofía de vida. ¿Por qué la gente es tan hueca?, ¿Por qué vale mas la imagen de una mujer bonita que la de una guerrera?. Si algo me gusta de ti no es tu cara bonita sino verte con un arma en el hombro y una mirada llena de ilusiones, de valentía, de lucha...las cosas van a cambiar, serán mejores y tu vida y tu muerte y la de cada mujer que dio su vida en el campo de batalla como tu, y cada hombre que lucho por la justicia y la igualdad, habrán valido la pena que hoy nos invade a quienes admiramos tu coraje.
