By the same token, why are feminist getting married? Why are you wearing make up, mini shirt bikinis are for male gaze, and I’m not seing you all ranting about those things. I wonder why?
My son’s on the autism spectrum. He’ll be turning 8 next month, and we’re not doing a party because I’m afraid this exact thing will happen to him. (We’re taking him to an amusement park instead)
For fucks sake. When I was young, even if I didn’t want to go to a classmates party, my parents dragged me there anyways. Some days aren’t about you. Plus, you get cake. Go to the party!
Why would you let your child be this cruel and turn down this poor child’s party? WHY ARE PEOPLE BAGS OF DICKS!?
That’s really reaching. When you start up iTunes, is that tacit approval of abusive labor practices? When you use electricity, is that tacit approval of climate change? Maybe to some extent those things are true, but why single out these people and deny this specific instance? Because they’re Muslim.
You should wear anything you want, wherever you want, however you want. And I shake your hand.
I'm not talking about women who are forced to wear it. I'm talking about women who choose to wear it. Some women wear it without pressure from family and friends to wear it. It's patronizing to say they're approving oppression.
I don't disagree with them. My best friend is Muslim and used to wear a hijab. She did it for religious reasons and she didn't regret her decision until it was time to find a job. No one wanted to hire a girl wearing a hijab. Society is fucked up. And it's people who look at girls who wear hijabs this way that make it…
Headscarves are a choice for most women in the U.S. (I know they may be mandatory in other countries that are predominantly muslim but thats a different story). They represent their commitment to their religion as well as modesty. They are not forced to do it. They face threats, stereotyping and other things while…
I get your point, but I also bristle at the idea of telling women how they should dress or express their faith/ideas/etc. under any circumstances. Just because the hijab comes from an oppressive religious tradition and impulse doesn’t mean that all women who wear the hijab see it that way now. For many women its…
I know plenty of Pentecostal girls that are forced to cover every inch of their body (except the head, but by God you better not cut that hair) for the same reasons.

Gonna be totally honest: I completely disagree with headscarves and the ideals they are supposed to represent for women. Yes I do find them harmful.
Well hi there. I’m a Muslim woman who decided to wear the headscarf. I don’t find it harmful - in fact, it makes me happier. My headscarf does two things:
I don’t think the headscarves themselves are harmful; the ideals behind it are, absolutely. I wonder if “reclaiming the headscarf” is a thing, like reclaiming the n word. Maybe some Muslim women don’t wear headscarves because they feel like every woman should in the name of modesty. Maybe they’ve reclaimed the…
When Christian Bale has to step in and say “Whoa dude!.....come on dude chill you’re being a dick”, then it’s tie to check yourself.
So I had never heard this thing about the niece, so I Googled it. Uh. That dude said his niece was coming on to him so he felt her up? WTF??
Isn’t this the guy that molested his transgender niece? The guy that “nice guy” George Clooney punched out on the set of “Three Kings”? The guy that Lily Tomlin lost her shit at? WHY do people continue to make movies with him, and why do people continue to throw money at him to fund said movies?
