    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.
