Not only the hijab represents purity culture for the middle eastern/muslim woman but it clearly sexualizes every inch of a woman's body, contrary to popular belief. It imposes that unless a woman is covered, she is inherently sexual. And not just her hair, her arms and her legs, in some cases her feet, her face, her hands, and even her eyes. Even the outline of her body has to be concealed because there is always a man who will find it enticing, and this from the ripe age of 9. No matter how inconvenient it is. Not to forget, women are always to some degree pressured if not forced into this "choice" lest they bring shame to their family. How many arab girls have grown up hearing "You can do whatever you want, just keep a hijab on your head."? How many girls have been scolded, threatened, hit, because they were merely talking to a boy? How many girls were forbidden to go to school, to go out of the house until they abandoned their "westernized ideas" and started "dressing decently"? And how many were killed, charged with prostitution, stoned for not not wearing it?
Now, you want to convince me that libfems, the same group that wants to "free the nipple", thought the hijab was empowering for the last decade? Hell nah.
They just don't care. They don't care because they view middle eastern, brown, and Muslim women as lesser. Our suffering and our objectification are nothing compared to their inconvenience. So why would they even think about it? Why would they upset conservative muslim men and women ? They have been overlooking every honor killing for years now to not make muslims look bad.
Today it's trendy to oppose forced hijab, tomorrow, they'll forget about us.
I am literally so done with coddling beauty-obsessed women’s feelings. I used to be all “oh no I’m not judging you” when my friends would accuse me of such things cause they shave and wear makeup. And it was true but I have officially lost my patience for that shit.
Women who shave and wear makeup have always been the ones who have judged me for not doing such things. All that “you’re judging me” crap is projection so here’s my response:
I am judging the fuck out of you. I roll my eyes when I see you’re in heels. I wanna kick you out of the bathroom when I see you putting on makeup. I think you’re a fool when you’re legs are perfectly smooth. I think you’re pathetic to be at your age 25, 35, 55, and still care about beauty standards for men. If you haven’t figured it out by now, you’re a lost cause.

seeing people treat their female babies like dolls pisses me off so bad. why does a six month old need pierced ears. let that baby wear something she can get dirty and play in

The only wrong abortion is that which women are forced or coerced into getting. All the rest are good actually, yes all of them.

There is so much hatred in ur heart but that’s okay, not everyone is meant to be a good person. Genuinely wish you the best, hope you can find some peace of mind. Bigots are often tortured souls.
