i am sick and tired of seeing posts suggesting that both wearing the hijab and being half naked is empowering for women.
empowerment is “the giving or delegation of power or authority”.
the meaning of the hijab and other muslim coverings is the very definition of rape culture and victim blaming.
what power or authority does a woman get by wearing a symbol which suggests that she should cover her body so men won’t sexually assault her?
what power or authority does a woman get by wearing oversexualized clothes which are literally designed to satisfy the male gaze?
none. both panders to male desires. both is the exact opposite of empowerment and female liberation.
you are not woke or intersectional, you are rebranding misogynistic bullshit as empowerment.
