From The Guardian:
Once, on soc.history.what-if, I asked posters what would have to happen in order to get feminist terrorism off the ground. I don't think that the idea is entirely implausible; the general consensus in the discussion seemed to be that the failure of specifically feminist terrorism to get off of the ground lay in the specific application of revolutionary ideology to the female question. With a sufficiently creative theorist, I'm sure that this issue could be overcome.
Even now, Afghanistan has the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, which fought against both the Soviet occupation and the Taliban. I think the country needs something a bit more hard core, though. Clearly, there are some men in Afghanistan who deserve something nasty.
