In general, I think that women should be able to choose how they’re treated. Want to be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen? Fine by me, provided that you boil the product of your sperm-gargling nether-mouth into a nice broth. Feminism is a two way street. But I do have to draw a line just this side of strict Islam. I mean, it’s one thing to be into extreme BDSM, but when it never turns off because it’s the only way god will love you, you’ve got issues.
Some chick is defending her choice to wrap her entire head with fabric while teaching. Others want to wear the niqab in drivers’ license photos and at the beach. Sorry, honey. You want to be a faceless subordinate to men? You don’t get to teach. Or drive, or swim. Or receive proper medical attention. You get to speak when spoken to and listen to your husband fuck his other wives and concubines. And if you misbehave, you get to feel the back of his hand. Want to press charges? Good luck. Even if you get raped, it’s your fault. You shouldn’t have flashed your fingertip, slut.
This halfway bullshit gets under my skin. It’s in league with corporate bitches who demand gender-neutral everything until they want someone to open a door. Or sorority girls who throw their floppy assholes at anything with a cock and then get offended that no one respects them. But unlike the niqabi, total cunts can still be picked out of a lineup.
What pisses me off the most about these women is that they paint an inaccurate picture of extreme Islamic life. The women you see on CNN, following their husbands in burqas in 400-degree heat, don’t go home, turn on South Park and put a pizza in the oven. The men who stone their wives in the street don’t whisper sweet nothings. Young girls who have their clits cut off are nobody’s little princesses. The men are assholes and the women are slaves, and there’s nothing poetic or beautiful about it.
But I guess that’s the beauty of America. We’re not a theocracy, so moderate Islam flourishes among other moderate religions. And moderate Muslims are free to choose the niqab without giving up anything else, just like moderate Christians who embrace modest dress and ritualized prayer without conforming to a strict interpretation of the bible. It’s like a buffet of hypocrisy at which we all feed like self-righteous cattle.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go shave my head, change my name and move to another city… just in case my readers aren’t all moderate.
