Iran - three years after the 2022 events

[Lilith7]

Here’s a post from the recent past applauding the abrahamic religions and the hijab


Garbage. I know several Muslim women, most busy running their own businesses or in professional roles. What they wear is a personal choice, made for many reasons, oppression is not one of them. That attitude you display by such a statement is not only a conditioned political response, but it is ignorant, revealing a real lack of understanding of the roles within a modern Islamic family, or community.

Does wearing the keffiyeh make our politicians into Palestinians?

Is wearing a tie a sign of the patriarchy? Suits? Or a symbol of the role imposed on men they are unable to escape in western society? Socks with sandals? A handkerchief knotted at the corners and worn on the head as my very English step father in law loved to wear while mowing a kiwi lawn to within an inch of its poor summer life (much to my secret hilarity)? We are so bad at judging people by what they wear, we even legislate against entire groups on the basis of the cloth they choose to put on their bodies.

We should be ashamed of ourselves. Or at least more aware...

Thread: An interesting interview with Jacinda Ardern

The Abrahamic religions all have various sects within them - for example the Gloriavale 'christians' & Judaism's Hasidim, whose women are required to shave their heads & wear wigs, & of course the more restricitve Muslim sects. These are the ones who are very keen on control,especially of women.


Most people can manage to comprehend that not all Muslims are of the strict variety, any more than all Jewish or Chrstian people are.
