Nothing speaks for women rights like banning and harassing women who want to wear a peace of clothing.
If you actually talked with hijabi women you would know that most of them choose to wear hijab and are very much not opressed. But the white liberal understands solidarity through white supremacy where he knows what is better for everyone else.
Imagine saying "support Jews ans their rights but fuck the kosha rules. No one should be kept from eating pork."
If you really want to support Muslims and their rights, then talk with them and don't let white supremacist propaganda shape your idea of what you want to support.
There isn't much analogy with kosher practices. Do you know the explicit religious purpose of the hijab? It's to maintain one's modesty so as not to tempt men. Fuck that. Men are responsible for their own behavior. The religious purpose of the hijab is straightforward victim-blaming sexism. I won't support a conservative, backward, oppressive practice just because it's done by a member of a persecuted religious minority. That's not white supremacism, that's a basic commitment to progressive values.
I'm not saying we should ban it. In a free society people should be able to wear what they want. But we absolutely should not support it either.
Do you support high heels? Makeup? The stereotype of women wearing dresses usually, that social standard, that gender norm? It's not as though lots of things in western society aren't basically on the same level, or don't basically stem out of the same set of things, set of religious oppression. The problem isn't the opposition to those things, it's the double standard, it's seeing the muslim version of oppression as being unique because it's unfamiliar and alien.
If your argument is that dresses are the same level of subjugation as hijabs, you're either trolling or are completely ignorant. It's not really even comparable in this day. There is basically no pressure for women to only wear dresses anymore. And it's also not something that's imposed by a religious rule. It was more of a general patriarchal society issue, which we also have issues with.
I was gonna write a longass comment in response to this but I'm kinda burnt on that because it's 11:54 and nobody ever tends to read them, so I'm just gonna link one I previously left that's pretty much on the same topic. Tl;dr, uhhh, I dunno. Just read the post, I'm just gonna end up saying the same shit at the same length if I try to summarize it.
I read that
No one is trying to take anyone's freedom. But that freedom includes participating in coercive, sexist, patriarchal practices designed around oppression, which is all that religion is. It doesn't make it a feel good or wholesome story. Religion is inherently bigoted because it enforces obedience through manipulation
No, ALL christianity is shitty. It's inherently shitty because its entire purpose is to subjugate through threat of eternal damnation (let alone literal threats and violence). There is literally no other purpose. And this isn't specific to christianity. It's inherent to all religions
I did not know Jewish men are allowed to eat pork.
