There’s a lot of daylight between criticizing religions and culture for upholding patriarchy and forcing women to strip in public.

Yes yes, we get it, you think you have to “protect women” from being told what to wear by telling women what to wear. It’s not getting any less laughable for the repetition.
Why do you think Islam preaches that men are fine in a t-shirt and shorts? It doesn’t.
A woman’s body hair is just as natural as a man’s and many women are pressured to be hairless from the eyelashes down. A woman’s skin is as natural as a man’s, but a woman can lose her job or promotion if she doesn’t paint her face. Women can be suspended from their jobs for being too fat (see the Egyptian news…
We cannot forget how many place in the world prosecute women for not presenting themselves in the world as “not as alright” as a man.
—Well according to many people who believe in Islam, women’s bodies should be policed.—
You don’t see the problem in combating Islam’s retrograde view of policing women’s bodies by policing what women can wear? If you don’t understand the absurdity of this law I don’t know what to tell you.

You should, and it will be. Prepare to cry.
“your house is too big or you are keeping your baby too far away.”
“But very quickly, that night-vision image of my child wrapped up like a Mission-style burrito started to consume me.”
I love her.
Axe body spray and despair.
Feminists make non-feminist choices every single day, though. I shave my legs and put on makeup and wear dresses and do all the laundry and the majority of the cooking. I wore white and danced with my father at my wedding. My husband proposed to me with a diamond engagement ring, and yes, I took his last name. I do…
Could Foo Fighters be any more pop radio?
We have to win this fight for LGBT civil rights. We have to make them a federally protected class. Lest there be a massive wave of disingenuous (there is no such religious belief that you cannot hire someone to work in your business because they don’t practice your specific beliefs) religious discrimination against…
