  • Yes, of course two things can be wrong, but Muslims in western countries are usually already seen as foreign elements in society, and focusing on their oppression usually leads to even worse oppression (see e.g. France banning the Hijab in official roles, pushing out hijabi Muslims).

    In my honest opinion it would be better to focus on fighting the western oppression of women. I think the liberation of women will happen by itself, given some time and the right conditions. (See Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, who is arguably more emancipated than the average western woman in a traditional relationship)

    As to the question if men cover their hair, if men wear hot pants, if men wear spaghetti tops, I believe this is just a distraction, because I do not believe that feminism means totally equal clothing, but rather equal rights and opportunities.


  • Why do you think style changes over time, and has accelerated with television and advertisements? We are all being made to buy and wear something, be it to follow the advertisement “this is the must to wear of the season”, or to oppose consumerism.

    So if we can now agree that there is no real free choice, and every choice is to some degree influenced by patriarchy, where do we stand? Does feminism even exist? Or is feminism less about what you wear, and more about how you feel about patriarchy?

    I love the tears of fellow men that read that and get offended. “But I AM no rapist!” Well, maybe you’re no rapist yet, for all we know.

    And if you’re not, why do you care so much for what some women might think of you before they get to know you? Would you prefer every woman to trust every man because you’re one of the good ones (maybe)?


  • Not to mention the most often have to under threat of death.

    Tell me, in which countries is this the case? And then tell me, which are the countries with the most muslims?

    I’m sure you’ll be able to process that information to come to the result by yourself, that you’re spreading lies.

    Yeah, while the short and overly sexualizing clothing women wear in the west are of course tools of feminism, as everybody knows.

    And you, most likely a man, dictating what women do or don’t do out of free will is what? Oh wait, it sounds not only inherently patriarchal and misogynistic, but also absolutely western centric and islamophobic.

    Now all you have to do is to tell me that you want to see their beautiful hair, and their nice figure, and we have a bingo.

    I think the question is: who’s deciding what is medically necessary or justified? Because as far as I am aware there are health benefits associated with a circumcision, from reduced risk of AIDS infection to the reduced risk of infections.

    Is that enough to justify it? Some doctors will say yes, and some will say no. Some people will suffer negative consequences and some won’t.

    I think most of the negativity around it is because it’s being done on infants, and often for religious reasons. But to the intentions matter, when the action is in line with medicine?
