(23,272 posts)You (they) can't denigrate FEMEN and their tactics without factually denigrating Amina's action. This is what they do.
The women in those posts are too uncomfortable to tackle Amina in their posts because she's one of their own and it doesn't mesh with their faux outrage at Euro-FEMEN.
Well they (you) can't have it both ways. Amina is a proud member of FEMEN. She's either a proud Muslimah, having her own protest in her own country fully aware of their cultural norms as a FEMEN member, or she's not.
Disassociating her from any part of who she is - all parts of her - is an inconvenient truth. Frankly, I find your comment that there's even a question whether Amina may even "want" this as condescending to the max, as though she weren't brave enough, or had enough foresight, to see/endure the shit storm ahead.
You appear to be the one wanting to define Amina's/FEMEN's protest as something problematic (along with your friends in the OP). I firmly, 110% disagree.
