#Canada will not put trans men in men’s prisons because it is unsafe for them, but it allows trans women in women’s prisons.

Does anyone care that it ‘s not safe for women? Or do we only care about ppls safety if they identify as men?

As usual, it is the most vulnerable women that are exploited and demeaned by their society.
“But among those making the move were killers, serial sex offenders and child rapists who now have a home among biological women.”

Sex offenders? With women literally imprisoned w nowhere to run? Really? How is this even real life.

And the #UK is also happy to put the most vulnerable women in their society in further danger. These are some of the most egregious examples of patriarchy and misogyny.

It’s alive and well. You just haven’t noticed. Feminists across the world are fighting battles you’ve never seen in the West.

They’re imprisoned in #Iran for removing their hijab. They’re imprisoned in #SaudiArabia for driving or pushing for the abolition of laws against women.
They’re fighting for laws that protect women and value their lives in #Kuwait, where men who ‘honor kill’ their sisters and wives get a perfunctory three years in prison.
They’re in the streets of #Pakistan literally risking their lives to say ‘stop raping us’.

This is why I get so upset at Western support of misogynist constraints on Muslim women. There are many girls who are in a tug-of-war between two world views. Your support of hijab pushes girls further into an honor and shame culture they could potentially escape.

As I’ve said in articles and interviews, first-generation girls like me are now getting the same msgs inside AND outside the home. There’s no reprieve. At least in my day, there were feminist icons to show us why purity culture was toxic. Today those icons support our subjugation

I will engulf myself in PTSD triggers to bring you this thread. I hope you care enough to bother scrolling through.

Women in #Iran, #Afghanistan, #Pakistan attacked w acid because of ‘improper’ hijab.

Look at their faces.

A sixteen year old girl in #Canada is strangled to death by her father and her brother because she didn’t want to wear hijab.

Look at her sweet face. Sixteen years old. Killed by her father and brother. Over hijab. Hear that. Feel that.

Fifteen girls were left to burn to death in their school in #SaudiArabia because they weren’t wearing proper hijab.

Of course #NotAll, Nafiza 🙄

However Islam sanctions:

-beating of women (Quran 4:34)

-marital rape (Sahih Muslim 1436d)

-beating of children (Sunan Abu Dawud 495)

and other atrocities I endured by ppl who were following the edicts of their religion.

goodreads.com/en/book/show/4…
Many Muslims denounce the violence, homophobia, misogyny etc in their religion and choose to cherry pick those parts out. And that’s great. But the uncomfortable reality remains that ppl who want to engage in those acts have religious justification to support them.
This preamble from Bari before a talk w her and Ayaan is poignant. Apparently only some “women of color” speaking about our “authentic experiences” matter.

Zero. The answer is zero. There are no female Imams in the UK. Just answer the question. Such a cringe and transparent commitment to dishonesty and obfuscation

Hopefully there are Muslim women willing to push back against the misogynistic edicts that prohibit women from the role

No. It is not absurd. Did you even take the 30 seconds to watch the video where @theWatcher3998 clarifies?

Hijab perpetuates victim blaming. It perpetuates slut shaming. Those are cornerstones of rape culture.

#HijabIsRapeCulture
#FreeFromHijab
#NoHijabDay
Examples of slut-shaming: the hijab perpetuates the toxic myth that women who wear it are good and clean and pure and women who do not are filthy whores.

#HijabIsRapeCulture ImageImage
The onus is constantly put on women —the victims—when a sexual assault happens. This is called victim blaming.
