Feminists and Islamists: Strange bedfellows or natural allies?

Oh, come now. Don’t look so shocked. You know you’ve thought so too.
I verbalize this because someone must. It’s said with the same mix of trepidation and embarrassment you might feel seeing your friend come out of the washroom at a bar with a toilet paper tail. It’s awkward but isn’t it better to let them know?
And before anyone’s knickers get any knottier, note I’m comparing feminists to Islamists, not Jihadists. Both factions want to establish a world-wide caliphate but differ in their tactics. Islamists engage in “political discourse,” while Jihadists engage in “physical dismemberment.” More hands on (or off, if you will.)
Jihadis are impatient vigilantes who will use guns, grenades, bombs, rusty knives, machetes, whatever is at hand to eliminate dirty kuffars but Islamists use their words and feign hurt feelings, just like feminists.
Now that it’s clear that I’m not saying radical feminists are like bloodthirsty ISIS jihadis, let’s talk about how they are like Islamists.
Both share an intense narcissism of the kind that makes them arrogant and weak at the same time.
Both employ passive/aggressive techniques to disguise themselves as vulnerable victims as opposed to the cut throat psychological warriors they are.
Both will use their ostensible victim status either as a shield or a sword, depending on what gets results.
To remain a member in good standing of either group requires strict adherence to a rigid orthodoxy. No deviating here or there!
They both dress funny.
Both hate Christian, white, males with equal vehemence and Islamists totally agree with feminists that women in the west should be permitted to abort their babies as easily and often as possible.
Both have a strong “end justifies the means” attitude thus allowing them to work together. This bizarre coupling is a real head scratcher and shows the limitations of the term “Politics makes strange bedfellows” for capturing how twisted some politically convenient alignments can be. They’ll collaborate to destroy their common enemy and leave the pesky details of what to do with each other for later.
They think they’re right about everything, an easy claim since neither group accepts the idea of an “objective truth” from which to judge rightness. In the face of irrefutable evidence that might suggest continuing to believe something would make one delusional, they’ll maintain the lie.
