    Yet another Western visitor sees what she wants to see in #Syria. Drinks the Koolaid. Shades of Tom Friedman.https://thehill.com/opinion/international/433177-the-future-and-present-of-northeast-syria-is-female …

        These local councils are all under SDF-PYD control. Often, local participants/leaders are seen as figureheads that give cover to the PYD. Hard to imagine any of them surviving once foreign actors depart.

        The PYD, like the PKK, has given real space for women's participation. But let's not romanticize the position of women either in the PYD or in Kurdish communities. A mistake, one of many, of the philo-PYD left.

        Hi Steven. If you'd like to engage with my oped, that's great. Maybe next time you could: - tag me so I see your comments (you call me a visitor; I'm a tenured prof like you) - explain why promoting women, abolishing child marriage is drinking the koolaid #IWD2019@womenalsoknow

        - explain why drawing attention to the dire humanitarian situation, including lack of medical facilities in #DeirEzzour is drinking the koolaid. They have one incubator for a population of 1.6 million people, plus about 450,000 IDPs who fled to DeirEzzour from regime territory.

        - Here are photos I took last week of one of the three hospitals in DeirEzzour, which has to be repaired before it can even be used, so you can 'see' what I saw. #Syria #WomensReality #WomeninAcademiahttps://twitter.com/AmyAustinHolmes/status/1101912232684859393 …

        Amy Austin Holmes added,

        This is the largest of the three hospitals in Deir es Zour. They only have one surgery room and one incubator for a population of over 2 million. This hospital needs to be repaired before it can be used at all. What are donors…

        Finally by highlighting that both the Civil Code in #Turkey and the Self-Administration of NE #Syria have laws against #childmarriage & polygamy, I was trying to move beyond the polarized ideological debate. So I'm really curious whose koolaid you think I drank? #EndChildMarriage

        The so-called empowerment of women in Arab communities by the PYD, which governs in a coercive, autocratic fashion is unsustainable.

        Do you know any place in the Arab world, where women have more rights than in the area governed by the PYD?
