    I do not know why people are downvoting this.

    They don’t like this being pointed out?

      The blurred out person thats not naked takes this to unserious real fast.

      Life fuck the muslim hate in the west. Just period, by itself. Its deeply tied to racism because most muslims arent western or white.

      However, without that context, both the top left and bottom right (as well as bottom left) are patriarchal religions controlling the women’s beliefs and we cannot truely know if any of them, sans the native person on the top right, wanted where they are from if religious people hadnt insisted it upon them.

      Fuck muslim hate. But also fuck patriarchal religion that tells women their bodies are evil.

    I think most people in the West aren’t like the bottom one, just the far right (50% of America right now). Many people take issue with the face coverings because it’s generally seen as a restriction imposed on women by men.

      It’s a lot more than just the “far right”. A lot of people who claim to be feminist/leftist/“allies” will be quick to other “others”.

      I think it’s more that it upsets a norm : you see and identify the person you are interacting through their face.

      The fun part is when it’s an excuse to oppress religious minorities, and isn’t just about covering the face, but any variation of the religious outfit, even when it only covers their hair.

      Especially when you look at old portraits, and most of the non-noble women had their heads covered. You look at nuns, you look at the Virgin Mary, they all have their heads covered.

      Religious Jews, heads covered.

      When muslims do it, we have to end this horrid oppression!

      Counterpoint:

      This runs way deeper than just the far right.

      And practice introspection to know if your decisions are truly yours and not the product of social stigmas which have taught you to hate yourself to appease the sensibilities of those who only wish to oppress you.

    People can dress how they like but if there are social or legal consequences for doing so, especially if the consequences are not felt evenly then you have a repressive and shitty society.

    No this isn’t targetting anyone, no woman anywhere I know of can dress without people trying to control her
