Modern feminism, women's rights?

I've been thinking about modern feminism, and I don't like it. I don't like it because its viewpoint is myopic, opinions all have to pass left wing, politically correct talking points muster.
Modern feminists will complain about men at the workplace who stare too long at women's breasts, but say absolutely NOTHING about the misogynistic and hate filled practices of Islam. You will NEVER hear them point out that in a sharia law court, a woman's testimony is considered to be less than a mans. They are silent about genital mutilation preformed on women in some Islamic countries. Honor killings of women? Not a peep said!

Modern feminism puts political correctness above the lives and welfare of millions of women world wide.
Lets take another issue, gun control. Again, this is a left wing agenda which does NOT benefit women in the LEAST, in fact it is harmful to them.
Men are generally stronger than women, and can bull them down one on one. It has been shown time and time again, men do not need a gun to bring grievous harm to women. India has strict gun laws, yet rape is rampant there. What gun control does do is protect male abusers. An abuser can be shot down by a determined woman, his strength counts for little after he gets riddled with bullets. Yet modern feminists want to deny women the best tool for self defense available to them.

There is nothing wrong with equal pay for equal work, the right to an abortion without being mobbed by religious assholes, and to expect a civil work environment.
But it's not enough. I wish more women would take a hard look at modern feminism and say, "yes, I agree with the rights they are pushing for, but I WANT MORE!" I would really like to see woman push for ALL their rights, not just the rights the democrat party finds acceptable, and when it comes to Islam, stand up and smell the abuse.
