Anyone who believes girls can deter sexual violence by dressing modestly has never met men. You can cover your whole body and they will sexualize your voice. You can say nothing and they will sexualize your scent. It never ends.

Do you know what happens then? Every part of a woman’s being becomes sexualized. Their hair, ankles, necks, calves, wrists etc. This has the inverse reaction by sexualizing women even more. It’s more objectifying.

Germany decriminalized sex trade and guess what happened? Majority of women in Germany did not want to be prostitutes, so men trafficked and smuggled migrant women fleeing civil wars to meet the demand. Material conditions did not improve. No one was liberated.

No liberal feminist in the West would ever trade places with a woman in a Muslim country but they will justify her oppression under the guise of religious liberty. You are anti-feminist and anti-woman.

A lot of men convert to Islam because it’s the only religion where you can be a loser and still be entitled to 4 wives. If you live in the west, he will just pressure them to get on welfare.

Female students attempt to enter their university in Badakhshan only to be whipped by a member of the Taliban who prevents them from entering. The women chant ‘education is our right’ & ‘woman, life, freedom’ which is also what protesters in Iran have been chanting

I will never understand people who think dating broke men is the “safer” option. Broke men are actually more likely to be abusive and put you in debt. They’re angry about being at the bottom of economic latter and will pull you down with them.

Consent can be revoked at any time. Even if you’re undressed. You can always revoke consent. Being in bed and undressed does not mean there’s free reign. Consent is ongoing and can change at anytime.

There is nothing a woman can do to warrant an honor killing. Nothing will justify honor killings including drinking alcohol, dating, sex, solo travel, or leaving Islam. Men get to kill women and STILL live. Honor killing is femicide.

Sorry, you can’t be a feminist & support hijab. Women and girls are forced into hijab through state-sanctioned laws, imprisonment & honor violence. You cannot prioritize the minority of women who are brainwashed over the realities of those suffering under patriarchal domination.

Muslim women being afraid and living double lives doesn’t come out of thin air. We are afraid of getting killed for choosing the partner we want, wearing whatever we want, traveling alone etc. Deep down, we know what we’re risking. It’s a hard pill to swallow.

I wore a gold thong swimsuit while vacationing in Rosario Islands & I returned home unassaulted. The men respected me because despite whatever I was wearing, they understood consent & saw my value. When I wore jilbaab, I was groped often. You just want a reason to assault women.

Virginity testing is very prevalent in the Muslim world. It’s expected that you’ll have sex on white sheets on your wedding night, so they can parade blood stains as proof. It’s also common to specify whether you’re a virgin or not on a marriage certificate. It’s sexual assault.
