Yes but why, what is even the point of saying something like that at a time when black children are getting killed by police? Who is out there deeming the innocence quotient?

Do you know ANYONE that was pulled over 52 times for legit purposes and kept their license? <- ANSWER THAT QUESTION before you reply to me...if your answer is yes, I’ll back down. Most likely the answer is no. No one gets pulled over that many times for actual reasons and keeps their license. Phillando was targeted…
Before the internet, women didn’t have a whole lot of exposure to other women who publicly aired their unhappiness in their marriages and relationships. At a certain point, Princess Diana revealed it all, including her misery with Charles and eating disorders. That is not a small thing and she should be given credit.…
Judging by how many convicted sex offenders who are also Latino show up on my pedo/rapist map within a 5 mile radius of my neighborhood, it’s safe to say the real problem is that sex crimes just aren’t treated harshly enough in general.
In a different way, the same thing applies to Bill Cosby. I heard rumors about his alleged inappropriate behavior when I was in my early 20s. But again, it was whispers. And again, what was I supposed to do? Research what I heard? Take my thoughts to the authorities?
I mean I agree, forcing her to do something won’t help anything. So it goes.
They may have been shaped by it in the past but increasingly have no control over our society.
Yes it has actually quite a few times.
It’s not racist or religiously discriminatory. Crucifixes and cross are also banned as well as any religious symbol that’s visible.
Or its a thinly veiled stab at blatant misogyny.
I am a feminist and also grew up in Saudi Arabia. I believe in personal freedkm to wear what you want but I think face veils cross the line. I think they are disrespectful and immigrants have to be able to assimilate to some extent. Keeping your face covered isolates a person and is an affront to the country that has…
That face veil stands for a lot more sexist shit than telling her she cant wear it. Most religions have atleast gotten their stupid dogmas down to a semi co-existing level, these fundamentalist Muslims should do the same. I know plenty of practicing Muslims that dont require their female population to wear this shit.
Jezebel could run 5 posts a day about women attacked or persecuted for not covering thier faces in any number of countries around the world but instead we get this because why ?
There’s nothing racist or anti-Muslim about that. Face veiling is a choice, not a necessity to be Muslim. It’s like if they told a Christian parent, “Yeah, we know you like to drag a huge cross around wherever you go as a sign of your faith and proof of your devotion but, we’re not having that on school grounds.”
Yeah while the conversation can be about whether blanket clothing bans are good or not in this case this isn’t to do with Islam but rather the wider issue of secularism vs freedom of religion with some straying into the issue of criminal investigation.
Good. In a modern, civilized society, a face is necessary. It’s for identification and communication, as most human communication is non-verbal. Look at any driver’s license. Our faces are there for a reason.
Not really. In complete opposite of the US, where you have no state religion but push Christianity like hell, we have a state religion but making sure workplaces are largely secular is very popular so the banning of all iconography is designed to make sure no religion is being promoted and no one feels pressured to be…
Well if you can’t believe a guy who pees on a naked 14 year old on tape, who can you believe?
