Modern Feminism: An article of clothing that a patriarchal rape culture forces women to wear under penalty of beating as a symbol of their submission to men … has been embraced as a trendy symbol of feminist virtue signaling. . Because you hate Trump, or something.
We are witnessing a culture in complete break-down.
Well.
We call them regressives for a reason.
True, it is.
How can this be a symbol of feminism when they are forced to wear it by men who will stone them if they don’t, in the culture of its origin? Islam teaches if you DON’t wear the hijab, you’re a slut…everything about progressive dogma is contradictory and changes by the day. That is chaotic. No movement can survive such chaos for an extended period without either imploding or causing serious damage to everything around it.
Tangentially relevant, I just got to appreciate the talent (imo) of Ben Garrison on recent events, once again:

Pretty much nails it.
It would be a lot more useful for us non-SJW feminists if they emulated the ‘Ellen Jamesians’. It would certainly be quieter….
In a sense, I actually look forward to the day when the de rigeur standard of female public dress is a hijab or niqab. At least then I won’t be subjected to seeing pictures of defiant twits wearing yoga pants and bragging about visible camel toes—or having to experience it in person. Ditto with those who think slutwear makes them look “sexy”.
Those among us who have enough of a (morbidly) cynical curiosity about this societal psychiatric case can now just wait to see if they will go as far as excising themselves retroactively, per the same “logical” token, eg, of their professing that the white race needs to pay its debt back to the black race, etc, etc.
Orwellian corollary: who needs a clitoris when they have been gifted with as much grey matter embedding their hypothalamus?
I mean, you know, Q.E.D.
I teach an ESL group and at last night’s class, there was a Saudi woman wearing a niqab — i.e., the facial veil. For the record, in the 18 months I’ve been teaching this class, we’ve never had a niqab-wearer who wasn’t Saudi. There have been Muslim women from various countries who wore only the “hair hijab”, and there have been Muslim women who didn’t cover their head/hair in any way, but there haven’t been any non-Saudis who covered their face.
Anyway, though, there were also seven or eight non-Muslim women representing countries like China, Korea, Nepal, and Ukraine who were burning with curiosity about this whole niqab business and who were unencumbered by white guilt or American-style political correctness. On top of that, ESL speakers with limited vocabularies can’t afford to fret over “nuanced delivery”; they just have to use what words they’ve got to make themselves understood.
So the result was that the Saudi woman was subject to some very refreshing candor from OTHER WOMEN who weren’t Western and (with the exception of the Ukrainian woman) had absolutely no dog in the fight between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. I sort of got the sense that the Saudi woman probably knew the word “Islamophobia,” but also knew that dropping the word WASN’T GOING TO HELP HER in this context.
Nice.
I used to fairly suck (C level, at best) at English as Second Language, up to, and including, my last year of highschool. Maybe I was a moron, considering our fantastic French public education system.
I had improved my reading and writing English significantly thanks to american computer magazines, by the mid 90s. I accidentally obtained work proficiency by ’97 or so, after a couple years spent on my first job. I became fluent by the mid 2000s.
But, I have always been a complete dunce, to date, in CFFL:
Communist French as First Language.
Hopefully the american curriculum homologue will eventually decide it was a waste of time and tax payer money, here, too.
*Crossing fingers* !
* will eventually be deemed as…
The picture posted just the other day which has been infamously disingenuously propagated on the internet:

The pictures traded in on the regular that in absolutely no way propagates distorted perceptions of women. Such a BUTCH bi-top.
Leftists point their microscopes at American culture scouring for traces of micro-aggressions and micro-inequities and screech bloody horror at subconscious and even unconscious transgressions and then promote Muslim culture. i don’t need a microscope to see their galactic hypocrisy.
Old joke, courtesy of the greatest humour-making machine in recent history…
How many of today’s Leftist-Fascists grew up with portraits or photos of JFK and the Pope on the wall? Most of the guys I grew-up with parents hung them in little domestic shrines topped with a Crucifix* and last Easter’s Palms.

@16
Good point. I was raised non-religiously, agnostically, so to speak, by parents letting the bro and I to find / choose our faith, if any. The parents’ christian background being only hinted at. The father being a staunch anti-left for reasons I discovered later, it did help with the next stage;
Hence how I came to find Jesus, our savior and individualism champion, thanks to Pascal (and own Bible study).
I used to only ponder it, but I am now convinced that an awful lot of lefties likely couldn’t digest too many Sunday school sessions, presumably — and along with a bunch of other reasons, eventually came to go into the exact opposite direction, state worship, societal warmongering, etc.
(I’m referring to my own generation and that of the babyboomers, of course; beyond that, poor millenials, totally left brainwashed even more than I had to take, maybe.)
… than I had to take… and vomit.
More on topic, practical side note:
have the proud sluts (those misfortunate enough to be, also, lefties) considered how much longer it’s going to take undressing before they get to not-consent to the subsequent orgies with, in background —
a recording of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir read out loud at full blast, as per the regulatory requirements of Amherst college?

Quite.
If a woman isn’t *my* woman, then I neither need nor want to see her pussy. And if she *is* my woman, I sure as hell don’t want other people seeing it.
Meanwhile, most of the sluts advertizing what’s on offer are physically repulsive (way too fat, way too leather-skinned, etc), even did I wish to see a woman who isn’t mine in ways that only her husbant ought.
It’s George Orwell’s world, we just live in it.
No, it’s “showing the more pain the better”. A lot of old school statuary used to have drops of blood emanating from the Crown Of Thorns.
@ Ted B.: If the implication is that we Catholics are somehow more predisposed towards Leftist totalitarianism… I would say that’s true mostly of those flaccid wanna-be WASP Catholics who only show up to Mass on Christmas and Easter. My mother’s family are the type of Catholics who will happily tell you that Pope Leo XIII promulgated an encyclical against socialism all the way back in 1878, and that they see no reason to ignore it now. And my dad’s family… well, his maternal line of the family has first-hand experience with what passes for “compassion” among totalitarian Leftists: it was this little thing called the Holodomor, maybe you’ve heard about it? The Ukrainian Famine Genocide?
Well, since “Shades of Gray” is so popular how about making the ball gag the de rigueur fashion statement. Sure make it harder to shriek so loud and they could be in complementary colors with their head tents.
