Basically, femen and other privileged white 'feminists' believing they can 'save' Muslim women.

Jewish law and Christian law countries are NO better.
That's preposterous. Anyone who makes broad statements about the lifestyle of "Muslim women" that would encompass everyone from rural Somalia to Kuala Lumpur to London doesn't know the first thing about Islam or women. If you think that 1 billion people can be reduced to an undifferentiated monolith, we can't have a…
LOL that gif is EVERYTHING!!
FMG happens in non Muslim countries too.
Newsflash
I also believe that a lot of white women need saving too, mostly from blatant ignorance, but I digress.
Get them to help what? Muslim women can think for themselves and make their own choices. Maybe you haven't been listening, but Muslim women don't want to be "saved". They want to be treated like equals, both in their own culture, and by women like you who think that the parts of their culture they choose to embrace…

This makes me think of Debra Messing's tweet last night.
Psst... Dexter is not actually a real person. It's just a character on a TV show.
No, no it's not. It's an indictment of an oppressive white power structure. I will never understand white people that feel the need to derail every conversation about race to whine, whine, whine and tone police because they took something personally that they shouldn't have - and I'm white. I beg you, STFU.
