apotheotic (she/her)

That thread was so ew

I’ll freely own the fact that I’m a western, white, woman and can never fully understand the cultural and greater context surrounding the choice as to why a Muslim woman, or a woman of any religion, creed, race, upbringing, etc would desire to wear a piece of clothing that would to me, with my cultural and greater context, be a symbol of my oppression.

The cool part is that I don’t have to understand why she would make such a choice, to support her right to make such a choice.

If you want to support womens rights, you can’t go around trying to restrict us. If you are concerned that women who are making these choices are doing so under indoctrination, coercion, etc, then instead channel your energy into making sure they, and all women, have safe places and resources to address those things.

Why are people still using the r-slur in 2026 sigh

Of course evil is an actual heuristic - what point are you trying to make here?
