isn’t it almost the same with women catholic priests or women Brahmin priests?

I completely agree that “choosing” to shave isn’t really a choice either, because it carries consequences for women who don’t make that choice but it doesn’t cause rape culture and anti-gay sentiment though. Whereas the tradition of hijab in Islam does just that and that is much more damaging. I was born into a muslim…

Yes I have. I was born into a muslim family in Pakistan. So I have been around the muslim community since the day I was born and have spoken to many Hijabis who wear the hijab here in the United States. So I know what I’m talking about. I’ve read muslim feminist writings and none of them can even explain away the…

There’s nothing wrong with a woman choosing to cover up but if she does it due to Islamic reasons then it is indeed a sexist reason and a very harmful sexist reason at that.

You are literally speaking my mind right now. I’m an ex muslim and understand Islam and muslim culture quite well and just don’t understand why so many feminist are supportive of Islamic Hijab as a tradition. It’s rooted in sexist ideology and 100% promotes rape culture. It’s not like any other expression of religion…

There’s nothing wrong with a woman choosing to cover up but if she does it due to Islamic reasons then it is indeed a sexist reason and a very harmful sexist reason at that.

Actually no people do get pissed off about female humans showing skin. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to cover up but I can’t support a tradition in which only female people cover up and only in front of people who could want to fuck them. This tradition of modesty is all about slut shaming and it’s absolutely…

For many women its merely a way to express their faith and connection to god, no different than a yarmulke or a cross.

I find it interesting that Muslim women get shit for wearing headscarves, but nuns are never criticized for being dressed head to toe.

Well that would mean every baby picture ever since children can’t consent. Even though i would be OK with that, i’m sure (most) breeders won’t be.

People post annoying pictures of every second of their babies life all the time. I don’t think breast feeding baby pictures are any different than 100s of pictures of a baby waking up, crawling, smiling, looking away, sleeping etc.. I think they’re just as annoying as a baby eating pictures but I don’t think baby…

I felt grossed out by it when I first saw the clip because it didn’t look consensual. I didn’t even think about their gender, it was just one person forcing a kiss on another person that I find gross. I was surprised to see that main concern in the comments wasn’t whether it was consensual though and the fact that…

We don’t know if she used birth control or not. Birth control does have a failure rate.

Possibly but it still sets a good precedent for anytime someone decides to wear a misogynist shirt. So even if the criticism he gets is partly due to him being brown, that doesn’t mean the criticism is unjust and it also makes it easier for society to hold any person omitting such an offense reliable.

He was probably thinking that shirt is hilarious and rape isn’t really something thats all that harmful and/or rape is something you can joke about because he thinks it’s something that hardly ever happens to anyone and doesn’t believe the likelihood of any of the people around him being rape victims or rapists.

That may be true but it’s not like black male athletes aren’t a privileged group, especially when it comes to sexual assault. It does make sense to feel delighted about the fact the police and school actually did something about it instead of being misogynists, like we’re used to.

This guy from my high school lied about having cancer to get his girlfriend back. I don’t think it worked but she did get more involved in his life again to help him through it and he carried on with the lie for couple months until it was finally revealed by his family that he didn’t have cancer. So then he tried…

I’ve always been skeptical of women getting pregnant to trap men stereotype. Not saying that it never happens but i’ve known couples in which the guy did or wanted to get the girl pregnant so she wouldn’t be able to leave him. This was in high school, so if those dudes were that abusive as teenagers I can’t imagine…

It would be manslaughter. No matter the intent, how is unlawful killing of a human being not a punishable crime? Maybe in Canada it’s legal to kill another person as long as you can claim it was an accident.

the "manspreading" phenomenon has a lot to do with reaction to the way our gentleman's business can be constricted.
