honestly it’s so frustrating how so many people say “wearing the hijab is liberating”because it’s kind of shaming women who don’t which happens so fucking much in Muslim communities.(via faineemae)
OMG someone from Al Azhar said that women can lead men in prayer praise be the lord and all that is good in the world
I can’t stand it when Muslims are asked about violence or the oppression of women done in the name of Islam, the first thing they do is start bashing other religions.
“Yeah? Well, if you read the Bible, you’d see its way more violent….”
“Read up on the roles of Jewish women.”
How about you stop being a hater and go read up on your own religion so you could actually provide people with accurate information that pertains to your religion.
for real, this has got top stop.
thank you! :) i mean, i could write it anonymously but the only way of sending a letter that would get to enough people would be via email and i feel like it would be kinda shady to set up an email address just to send it? idk i mean that would be a solution to that problem but i also feel that i shouldn’t be afraid of speaking out against something i know is wrong and i mean i also have an Islamic duty of speaking out as well. i guess i’m just really nervous. but thanks for the support :) i really appreciate it ❤
The Refutation of “Good Hair” is a powerful new project by the brilliant Nakeya B. In this series, Nakeya has chosen to explore the literal meaning of the historically used phrase “good hair”. In her own words, “In each image a woman of color is seen poised upright while consuming a handful of hair. Accompanying the portraits are a selection still life arrangements placing hair and traditional African-American cuisine in the same setting. Doing such suggests “good hair” is nothing more than something to be consumed as if it were food”.
Yes.
interesting!

- Since 2006, more than 95,000 service members have been sexually assaulted in the U.S. military
- More than 86% of service members do not report their assault
- Less than five percent of all sexual assaults are put forward for prosecution, and less than a third of those cases result in imprisonment
I hate that I can attest to accuracy of this post. I never reported my assailants. I had a friend who did. She got looked down upon, name called, moved to a crappy shift and generally treated like trash from a good number of people in our command, including some superiors. The male who molested her got a “talking” to, a slap on his wrist and then essentially promoted. And that was on shore. I can’t even begin to tell you what happened while we were on the ship. It’s just unbelievably horrifying.

Diane Sawyer: So, have you thought, how many women is enough? How many women [on the Supreme Court] would be enough?
Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Nine, nine. [Applause.]
Sawyer: Oh! Oh. [Laughs.]
Ginsburg: Well, there’ve been nine men there for a long long time, right? So why not nine women?
(x)RUTH FOR ALL THINGS
Bristling while reading through this and thinking about 9 women on the supreme court made me realize I am sexist.
ugh.
