Ban the suit rule - eviltoast
  • But none of these women are helped by a ban to wear such clothes. It is just reinforcing the separation and making the problem “go away” by making it invisible. Interestingly enough it is the same approach of conservatives and the far right to poverty and any other social issue

      But none of these women are helped by a ban to wear such clothes.

      It would give them a breathing space, and another lifeline for every women who is forced to wear it. I know lots of white liberals who think islam is such a marginalized religion because “non-white origin”, but the reality is, muslim women are either brainwashed from childhood to wear it or are forced into it. Enforcing such laws would alleviate and lead many of the to question the circumstances of “why do we wear it”. If you are unaware, the history of the hijab dress in Islam started after Omar (one of the Caliphate) and bff with Mohamed harassed the latter’s wife so that Allah would tell Mohamed to wear the hijab. He used to follow them when they pee or take a shit, to creep on them to force a “revelation” as if their God needed a reminder.

      That aside, many many many muslims have no idea about these origins and are as brainwashed as white liberals into the “religion fo peace”. And that’s why islam inherently is an anti-feminist religion. Just look up on r/exmuslim how many women were distraught for being forces to wear the hijab. This law is less than an ideal solution, but it is better than nothing.

      • If you think that forcing people to do something to get them out of some brainwash you claim them to have, you are just trying to opress and brainwash them yourself. It is also amazing, that you immediately use fascist buzzwords like “white liberal” to reduce the arguments to “haha you are just unenlightened”, which is the same way the opressive fundamentalists think.

          Don’t you have a grafitti to spray somewhere, comrade? Or did you miss a prayer abdul? Or you still have your quotas to fill of telling ppl they’re white supremacists?

          I was sharing my experience growing up in a muslim environment in the heart of the middle east, where literally everything is islam-themed. If you don’t call that brainwashing, imagine a white mormon instead that witnesses forced and polygamous marriage (men only) and tries to share their experience, and suggest banning polygmous marriage just for someone to shut them down because “that would be brainwashing”.
