Here's another exception: Redstockings, a collective that put out
literature like this: "Women in Iraq: Illusions, Confusions, and
Coverup,"
<http://www.redstockings.org/iraqiwomenp1.html>.  But it's easier to
count exceptions to the rule of scarcity of anti-imperialist feminists
in the First World willing to point out what states, even police
states like Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party government, do for women in
the Third World and _what it means for Third-World women to have those
states destroyed by the empire_.
