Whatever you do don’t let them silence you!
As middle easterners we’re really wondering about this.
It’s harder than ever to be brown or visibly Muslim in the West.
Forcing women to expose more of their bodies than they’re comfortable with is as invasive and degrading as forcing women to cover up more of their bodies than they want to.
Stop policing women’s bodies. Stop making decisions for women on what they should/should not wear.

Amoun, 70, a blind Palestinian refugee who lived in the town of Aleppo in Syria, rests on a beach moments after arriving along with another forty on a dinghy in the Greek island of Kos, crossing a part of the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece, August 12, 2015. The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) called on Greece to take control of the “total chaos” on Mediterranean islands, where thousands of migrants have landed. About 124,000 have arrived this year by sea, many via Turkey, according to Vincent Cochetel, UNHCR director for Europe. The Turkish coast is seen in the background. (REUTERS/Yannis Behrakis)

What makes people think that they can sit at home on their computer, rewrite definitions like “Racism”, and expect the whole world to follow them?
Black people can be racist, women can be sexist, Christians can be discriminated against. They’ve had their own definitions since before you were born, and you sure as hell don’t get to decide what it means.
You sitting on your little IPhone 5, telling us reasons that that isn’t true, isn’t going to change that. You aren’t our authority. Think what you want. Don’t try to force others to.
Women can be sexist.
People of color can be racist.
Christians can face discrimination.
Hating straight people because they’re straight is wrong.
Having barely any safe houses, court advocacy programs, subsidized counseling, or subsidized legal care for male domestic violence victims is an issue. Women don’t get paid as much as men because they don’t work as many hours and take more time off for maternity leave, and more women work part time.White people are not born with automatic privilege because they’re white. Yes they can get away with certain things, but white people do not have magical powers that keep them immune from serious issues. How do you explain white privilege to a poor white person?
Nonbinary genders don’t need to exist because everyone is nonbinary to some extent.
You have to have gender dysphoria to be transgender.
Biological sex is NOT a social construct.
Gender is not whatever you identify as, because if that’s the case, than I can identify as Barack Obama or a chair.
Third Wave Feminism is a dumpster fire.
Black Lives Matter is reckless, it doesn’t seem to have any main goal or direction, and doesn’t actually save any lives or truly help the black community as a whole.People of color, women, LBGT people, and Muslims who think outside of the rhetoric from the Left are not traitors and they all do not have self hatred or internalized whatever.
Hate speech is free speech.
Wanting white people to pay reparations for the slavery of African Americans is ridiculous. MODERN white people are not responsible for slavery.You cannot automatically believe someone who says they were raped and try to get the person they accuse arrested without evidence. False rape accusations CAN RUIN LIVES. Always, always, always, have evidence, and if there is none, I pray those people find justice. But you legally CANNOT arrest ANYONE for ANYTHING without evidence, to do so is considered illegal and goes against the American law and justice system.
Unfortunately rapes happen, but America is not a rape culture. Saudi Arabia is a real rape culture.
If there are no laws stopping you from going to school, getting a job, buying a house, or even walking outside by yourself, or etc. then you are not oppressed.
The Patriarchy is not real.
Physically attaching people who disagree with you is wrong and immoral.
Perfect.

- have to sign up for the draft
- get ridiculed for being abused by their husbans
- get arrested for having an abusive husband
- aren’t congratulated for hitting a man
- can be refused admittance to a shelter on the basis of their gender
- get the same prison sentences for the same crime
- aren’t congratulated on TV for cutting off their husband’s dick
- can be refused custody of their children due to their gender
- can’t rape a man and then sue him for child support if they become pregnant
- can’t get away with lying about rape/abuse and will be punished it they’re caught lying
- are called freeloaders and deadbeats for being a homemaker
- can’t wear masculine clothing without being harassed
- are punished for lying about taking birth control like men are for sabotaging a comdom
- having a women’s only space is deemed sexist
- can’t give up parenthood unless her boyfriend/husband allows it
- can’t be misandrists without being called out for their sexist behavior
I never see feminism advocating for these things. Weird, huh?
I tried to keep this list away from things like statistics and things that would require the word “more” in the statement (ex: “…until more women join labor intensive fields”). I also tried to stay away from generalizing statements, instead rewording them to make them less, well, generalizing (ex: “…until women stop lying about being raped” to “…until women can’t get away with lying about being raped”). If you add on to this list, I ask you to do the same.
If you don’t understand a bullet point, please feel free to ask what I mean by it.

I never felt like less than anyone else until Tumblr told me I should.
Honestly, there would probably be many more feminists if they weren’t so cruel.
Modern feminists have no problem complaining about how unfair the taxing of tampons and pads are… Where are they for the women in Middle-Eastern countries who are being raped, beaten, and killed? Or is that less of a priority? While you’re protesting the wage-gap, their lives are in danger. Is modern feminism really that selfish? Help them to be treated as humans before you worry about man-spreading.

Self-defense and close combat training specifically for women will be indispensable if we ever want our sisters to break free from patriarchal oppression. No oppressed population can be freed, they must free themselves!
