I don’t have to assume anything about Islam to know that an Islamic feminist is as absurd as a Jewish nazi. The facts speak volumes.

Fiorina? Likable? She couldn’t even pardon a damn turkey without threatening to eat the turkey’s offspring.
Let’s assume you’re right, and that Muslim women in Morroco, Turkey or Algeria have all of the rights they could ever need and that Islam doesn’t oppress them. This is again a very large assumption, because there are a multitude of things that these women are not allowed to do, but let’s assume it anyway. What about…
Religious faux-progressives love picking cherries and ignoring the unsavory truths about their respective religion. Let’s take the issue of same-sex marriage as an example. The Bible is homophobic, there’s is just no way around that. They can choose to ignore all of the homophobia in it all they god damn please, but…
I agree, the woman who argue that they’re choosing to wear the veil are wrong - because more often than not, Muslim women have to wear it. And it’s not even about the veil. The veil is just a symbol of the repression of women that Islam (much like all organized religions) is drenched in. Religion cannot be adjusted to…
Supporting a religion whose God condones misogyny and a plethora of other ills is contradictory to feminism. You just cannot turn a shackle into a bracelet.
It was apparently cheap horse meat *for* cats.
You’re not the only one :D
I think he was getting a hit of that fresh baby scent :D
Then whose call is it? Or is it no one’s call, and if that’s so, then what is feminism anyway? I have no empathy for people supporting a religion that condones the execution of people like me.
Anyone else here addicted to the smell of a fresh baby? A cousin of mine gave birth to a baby girl less than a week ago, and I can’t wait to visit her and get a hit of that fresh baby smell.
There are three main issues.
Awareness isn’t really about changing the minds of abusers, but rather providing help for victims. There are two facts about domestic abuse that people raising awareness need to focus on.
It accomplishes nothing, but we all know that he would never ever ever be the POTUS anyway. It’s pointless that he’s even running, but hey - at least he’s not Trump, or Carson, or Cruz, or Rubio, or Fiorina, or...
The Disney princess project I can get behind, but when it is images of real women that are photoshopped like this, it is absolutely disrespectful and exploitative.
Oh, come on, you’re being too harsh. I don’t think he really thinks he’s being cool, he’s just having fun. I thought it was a funny, harmless video.
Tell me about it! People will bend over backwards to disassociate the actions of a Muslim from from his religion. “Oh, he’s just perverting Islam! Islam is a religion of peace!”
If a woman cannot sacrifice her misogynistic religious views for the good of all women, she’s simply not a feminist. Plain and simple. This is not about the feelings of women overdosed on cognitive dissonance - this is about the fight for equality. Religion as a tool of the patriarchy will never dismantle patriarchy.
If a woman cannot sacrifice her misogynistic religious views for the good of all women, then she simply isn’t a feminist. Pragmatic or not, that’s just how it is.
And who does? If no one does, then anyone can be a feminist - and we know that’s absurd.
