One part of that disconnection is the tremendous problems liberal Western feminists have in deciding how to relate to issues such as female infanticide in other cultures, because they don't want to come across as Western white colonialists who are critiquing a culture the West once colonized and so on. So very few even dare to write anything on those topics.

That's what happened after the Cologne mass sexual harassment case: a lot of mealy-mouthed thoughts trying to be feminist without appearing racist or Islamophobic.

It's a real hornet's nest, to discuss those issues, and you start seeing the creation of the oppression hierarchies real fast. Women are not at the top on those hierarchies, and that is among liberal feminists.
