I gather Im supposed to be outraged by these people, but I havent yet heard a convincing reason why. Non-violent, non-state, radical feminist protest seems like a good thing to me (no leeching please).
Im sure they could be accused of entrenching views within Islam, and of course, the 'appropriation of agency' accusation is inevitable, but surely the potential for solidarity and inspiration of protest with the Islamic world must supersede these concerns.
As a society we haven't been able to eradicate our Arab mentality towards women
Often, before going to sleep I dream about a world with religions that are only in your houses or churches and don't appear in other places. And do you know what I see? I see the world without Serbs, Croats and Muslims being massacred, without 9/11, without witch-hunts, without 7/7, a world without suicide bombers and without the Taliban, without Israeli/Palestinian wars, without persecution of Jews as 'Christ-killers', without Nothern Ireland troubles, without Crusades, a world where are no public beheadings of blasphemers and no flogging of female skin for the crime of showing an inch of it.
seems like a pretty simplistic understanding of conflict
Much of the world is unrecognisably secular compared to a few decades ago...
...and no more then here all the old oppressive attitudes remain in one form or another.
Whereas in much of the Islamic world the exact opposite is true.
