I get so angry seeing women in western democracies defending this barbaric subjugation of women.
All religions suck, but Islam never having gone through any kind of reformation is a special kind of fucked up when it comes to women.
Worst of all is seeing my liberal friends defending Islam, like some kind of PC pissing contest completely abandoning our brothers and sisters living in these theocracies.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that everything about religions is bad. For example, Christmas is a religious holiday and I genuinely like it because I can meet with my family, friends and we give presents to each other. So there are some nice aspects of religions.
However, living a life only according to a religion is quite stupid. You are just making your life harder for no good reason. Arguing that you should do something because <insert a religious reason here> is quite stupid.
Same for hijabs. If the someone wants to wear it, then they are free to do so but forcing someone to wear it is just nonsensical. Sorry but I think there are more practical clothes when it’s 35 degrees outside and it should be everyone’s choice what to wear (as long as certain rules are respected such as no nudity unless otherwise stated).
Simply said: many religious practices lack pragmatic reasoning behind them and make the life harder.
In the West, it is a choice, and that is good. That’s what Iranian women also want: choice.
This echoes the argument against the prohibition of abortions. Pro-choice means that women can have the option to choose to have an abortion, not that they will be getting them for breakfast.
But the privileged american women told me hijab is a choice tho.

No reformation? You’re in a sub thread about Western Muslim women not wearing hijab.
I, Jew, have dated and had sex with said Muslim women. That’s pretty reformed big dog.

Because context never matters anywhere, right? \s

I mean, technically it is a choice. Between wearing it or getting 74 lashes on the back. :(
