Lolly21 2,103 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 It is a sensitive topic, but I liked watching the video. It was entertaining, and it's a satire. At the end it says to not blame the victim, so it served its purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missycin 1,117 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Was it? Do i need to put a trigger warning? Maybe that would be good. I wasn't triggered by it but the truth of the video - that was hard. Thank you for posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyubSyub 1,194 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Where's the lie though? Plus as someone from South Asia raised in a Muslim household that literally got told by my mum that my blouse and trousers were immodest yesterday, I'll tell ya that there's no lie in how the video portrays shaming women from there, oh my god. I've also debated with my mum about the whole "must have a man with you" thing. Also, OP, your badges and stuff oh my god I love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also debated with my mum about the whole "must have a man with you" thing. Also, OP, your badges and stuff oh my god I love I'm sorry, that does sound tough. My Muslim friend has told me that she's not ready to don the burka on a regular basis just yet, especially since it means she has to adhere to rules to cover up till her wrists and ankles. I wish Islam could be more progressive/liberal and be reinterpreted or go back to its roots and shedding the cultural interpretations of Islamic law. But hey, I'm not one so my opinion doesn't count. But eh you should show your mom this video, just for the hell of it. And I see the same in my household, my mom makes comments about clothing that's too short/too high cut, etc. It's sad but true, the women shaming and it's disgusting and shouldn't exist. Also, i hate how it is; it's fucked up but I got lectured on how even though I have a basic right to things (such as speaking out and calling out assholes, or going out late at night) that there's a bigger picture than those rights - staying safe and alive. Its fucked up, but eh, pragmatism eh? A+ taste, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fucked up, but eh, pragmatism eh? A+ taste, thank you Sadly, I made the mistake of starting to wear a headscarf and a burka at a pretty young age (around 11) when I was too young to really understand much, and I probably can't go back and start dressing how I feel until much later, probably not until I move out. Yesterday was an exception bc of a special event that I wanted to look nice for and I felt 10x better in that kind of clothing, and it wasn't revealing at all (I didn't even ditch the headscarf). I wish someone told 11 year old me that she didn't know as much as she thought she did bc it would save me all the identity crisises I have these days. I guess different things empower different girls, and I'm kinda stuck in clothes that don't make me feel the best. I don't really consider myself much of a Muslim anymore, for reasons ranging between "I can't be bothered to pray" and "I can barely read English and you want me to read Arabic that nobody understands" to "this part of Islamic history makes no sense to me" and "I don't agree with some of these Islamic morals", but I'm kinda stuck for now. I definitely wish that Islam could be more progressive too, but a lot of my friends argue that it's more of a matter of culture than religion. Honestly, nonetheless, woman shaming needs to stop, but it doesn't help when the cultures/religion generally has women against women (like some mothers and their daughters) as well as men against women. Even some of my female friends shame each other; I have a friend that I've raised an eyebrow at multiple times after listening to her say questionable things about girls that reveal a little more than she does, and she always seems to shame without even realising sometimes. I'm pretty envious of one of my other friends for being so confident and having a strong sense of who she is and for a while, she's not worn her scarf, and yesterday, my first friend was literally like "lmao where's her scarf?" and "what's the point of her even wearing clothes". Ofc, that's not the most eyeroll-worthy thing that she's said. It really is so frustrating and hurtful, and I'm just waiting for the perfect opportunity to challenge her. Sorry this turned out so much longer than I thought it would, even after I tried to condense it lol, I talk way too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
