When American women make choices that second wave feminists don't like, they're simply doing it to please the patriarchy.
When Muslim women speak out in support of far harsher cultural norms pushed on them by a far more patriarchal structure, they are strong women in full possession of their agency.
Holy hell, this shit has totally dropped all pretense of being rooted in pro-woman ideology. It's like a horrible, body strewn train wreck that depresses the hell out of you, but at the moment of explosive impact your juvenile reptile mind is thinking "Awesome!"
This thread is awesome in precisely that way.
And what is with the magical power of Islam? I speak out about how oppressive Christianity is to gay people, and I'm hailed as an equality activist.
Criticize Islam in exactly the same way, and I'm an intolerant Islamophobe who doesn't understand the nuances of teenagers getting stoned to death.
There is apparently nothing more romantic to some than a culture they know they themselves will never have to live under.
Defending Islamic patriarchy now. On a liberal website.
