Heck, I’m surprised she isn’t in trouble for insinuating that the Pope is Christian.

I get your point, but as an Evangelical Christian college, they really, really don’t give a shit about what the Catholic pope says.

Can we please stop pretending that Saudi Arabia is not a truly horrible place to live, with many restrictions and incredibly harsh punishment? Please? Because no matter how brainwashed the higher class or ex-pats may be, the fact remains that for lower class women it is absolutely abhorrent.

My dislike of Deen is admittedly made more acute due to how I always thought he had a creepy face and was not as likeable as the Internet told me he was, but I believe Stoya and his other accusers 100% and his lame, juvenile tweets make me feel all the more nauseated for it.

That movie to me looks like Team America: World Police, but not a parody.

It sounds horrible. No way.

Mini skirts are not mandatory. No one is harassed and shamed religiously or morally in the street because they don’t have a mini skirt on.

I get the overall point of western oppression by way of sexualizing women and calling it empowerment, but it’s just not the same thing as oppression via religious modesty. No woman is forced to wear miniskirts, and nobody faces potentially punitive measures or public disapproval or shame if they refuse to wear a…

Combining the worst elements of religious orthodoxy with consumer capitalism? Oh yay!

Jesus christ. Do you listen to yourself?

Let’s not celebrate the oppression of women, their sexuality, and their freedom via “modesty” laws - in Islam, in orthodox Judaism, in Mormonism, in crazy Christian sects. Anywhere. Someday, I hope the women wearing these symbols of oppression will be free of their confines, whether self-imposed or not.

I'm not sure why everyone is so pumped about this...hijab is a mechanism for the oppression of women.

Nothing feels sexier than being allowed to leave the domecile!

As a Muslim woman who has never worn hijab and never will I don’t really understand this. Isn’t covering up supposed to prove your modesty and keep you from attracting attention? How does a crystal embellished tent do that? Just one of the many ways in which religious people pretend to follow tradition while doing…

I purchased a djellaba as a student while visiting Morocco. Gotta tell ya, those things are amazingly comfortable. They entirely hide the body, eliminating the western “body performance.”

I can’t wait for these to get to my hometown in Saudi Arabia! Finally, something to wear when I hit up the night clu—hmm—ah, something fashionable I can put on when I start classes at colleg—well—okay, something I can wear while I drive to—errr—fine, something nice to wear while I just walk around in publi—oh.

I’m pretty sure a lot of Muslim women find this kind of bourgeois capitulation a little disturbing.

The ACA rollout wasn’t successful. It was a political disaster. I really like Sebelius, and she took responsibility as a manager. But let's not pretend that went well.

That sounds a lot like the argument people make when an athlete is accused of rape. They can get any girl they want! Assuming that everyone wants a particular person is dangerous, as it communicates the elimantation of requiring consent. Athletes can rape, and so can popular actors.

Part of the fun of Rocky Horror is that its not all the beautiful people. Nothing against these guys, but DAMN, it looks like its going to be a hot teens Disney Channel presents Rocky Horror. With Laverne Cox, who comparatively is going to look like the mom of the cast.
