I'm not a particularly cynical person, nor am I a huge Beyonce fan, but there are plenty of normal people who are assholes to people with disabilities. The main difference here is that Beyonce happened to have power because of her situation to give a gift that is greater than just regular old us being kind.

I hate when people argue that what actually happened doesn't matter because something that didn't actually happen might inspire a different response.

I'm just going to outright assume you're a troll, as not one would blankly call the desire for more serious, empowered female characters idiotic.

They have banned her book because they claim she is a "tool of the west" and that her book does not portray Islam positively.

Not at all. My parents are working immigrants. However, my grandmother (from El Salvador) was a musician. She played guitar and sang. She died before I ever knew her, but my dad told me that growing up, she was tormented for being a woman and a musician. Over there, it just wasn't done. I take that to heart as a woman…

This is not the correct expression for riding a jet ski.

I really, really doubts she cares that you don't approve.

So. Women of color and queer women have been pointing out the problems with "feminism" since forever, and it's a white dude's decision to go with "genderist" that makes you decide to write an article on how it's ok to not identify that way? Women who eschew the label are routinely held up as punching bags for you…
