    Yes or no, is oppositiom to FGM cultural genocide?

    Fuck off with this false equivalence bullshit. Chopping up kids' genitals so they don't do sex stuff isn't even on the same plane of existence of Bad Things as wearing a fucking hat. Is it a dated and sexist practice? Yeah, it is, but this bullshit law is specifically targeting Muslims based on racial prejudice—pretending it's anything but that tells us you're a pretty shitty intersectional feminist.

    Let us respond to your shitty bait question with another shitty bait question. Do you get Big Mad on the Internet about:

    • Catholic nuns' veils?
    • Catholic bishops' miters?
    • Orthodox monks' kamilavka?
    • Jews' sheitel?
    • Jews' yarmulke?
    • Jews' kippah?
    • Sikhs' dastar?

    If you only get mad about the hijab—surprise!—you may need to re-assess if your opposition is rooted more in feminism, or more in racism.

      Umm I literally said in my previous comment that yarmulkes and crosses should be banned.

      Liberalism has engendered this false value that "cultures" need to be respected and have some nebulous right to self determination, but how far should we take that? This is why a classless society is the only solution.

      Let's take this narrative and turn it on its head and place ourselves in an alternate history where the middle eastern peoples had gone on the offensive after the crusades. Now imagine the British Isles colonized by Muslims and Anglo immigrants to Arabic nations attempting to practice primae noctis amongst their own communities. Would the dominant culture be practicing "brown supremacy" because they pass laws outlawing this practice to protect citizens from rape? Are they engaged in cultural genocide because they are trying to restore agency to an underclass within an underclass? Stop acting like everything you associate with "white" culture is bad or you risk becoming an apologist for some pretty vile stuff.

        I think clothes are kinda different on the totem-pole of “shit parents make kids do” to mutilation, so fgm part I think is a kinda bad faith-ish part of your comment. But sure, forcing clothes on kid is also bad, just less bad.

            The wise man solemnly bowed his head...

            If your "value system" tells you that someone wearing a little cross and chopping up children's genitals is on the same footing them something is wrong with said "value system".

        CW: sexual assault, mutilation

        spoiler

        Yep, you got me. Chopping up kids genitals and raping slave women is the same thing as hats. Damn, I'm owned.
