As a pastor, you would not believe the stuff I see. If there are any ministers out there who aren’t in it for power or money; I dont see ‘em. The crap I see church people in power do, makes me want to give up on humanity at times. Doesn’t matter what affiliation, Progressive or Evangelical. Most people get in religion…

When the story hit a few weeks back that they were labeling actresses that turned Harvey down as “difficult,” Anne was one of the first to come to mind. I remember a lot of “her antics will just cause problems” talk back in the day.

It’s just you.

On the one hand, judges in high profile cases do like to grandstand. Everyone deserves level justice without a show of morality from the system that has power over you.

You Pakistanis have worse problems: The government tried to outlaw child bride/marriages in 2016 but the bill was defeated due to immense pressure from religious authorities. But please, let’s talk about how my white feminism is the problem.

It has nothing to do with Trump, but it is political.

Keep telling yourself that. It isn’t even in the Qur’an. It is literally a patriarchal invention.

I was just watching someone’s YouTube video on why she took off the hijab and she kept having to justify it, which tells me, another Muslim woman, she’s feeling loads of pressure to keep it on in the first place.

Some women promote genital mutilation, other women perform that mutilation. Many other women marry their daughters off to old men in arranged marriages.

In essence, being a woman who does something of her own free will doesn’t fully exonerate that practice from patriarchy. It could simply mean that you have…

It doesn’t have to be anti-Semitic to be problematic. I tend to support Palestine in general, but at the same time I know many people from the region from both groups and it isn’t false to say that there are people who want Israel to be wiped out completely rather than reasoned with (not the people I know!).

It’s not just countries like Pakistan and Iran it’s also right here in Europe. In several neighbourhoods in France for instance, girls and women of Arab descent (not going to call them Muslim because some of them are not religious) who don’t wear a headscarf/hijab get catcalled or shamed or harassed by their…

Calling a state child murderers and illegal would definitely see her asked to step aside regardless if it was Arab or not.

Yeah, that’s helpful.

Just noting that had she written exactly the same about any Arab government, she would likely never have been pressured to step down. We really do hold double standards, here.

Sure, some of you do - because some of you are able to choose to, by not living in countries where the act of not wearing a hijab isn’t regarded a crime by the legal/religious system. Countries such as Israel, ironically.

Or have you forgotten this act of defiance in Iran recently?https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-ne…

What it means to you personally or culturally is beside the point. The hijab isn’t required by the quran so just because someone is against hijab doesn’t mean they’re Islamophobic. The underlying meaning of “women remaining modest so as not to tempt men” is still problematic and the fact that hundreds of millions of…

One cannot have it both ways. I don’t like hypocrisy on either side. If this was an Israeli model with anti-Palestinian tweets, this site would be calling for her head. This is a problematic and complicated issue, and both Palestinian and Israeli children have died in this conflict.

At least she had the good sense to step down.

Every time she expressed hesitation or said she wasn’t comfortable with something, he stopped. She doesn’t try to leave until the end and he doesn’t stop her. Instead he calls her an Uber. Also, she’s a grown adult too and doesn’t seem like she was forced into anything. Being inconsiderate is not the same thing as…
