Hijab the ultimate feminist statement | Jack The Lad | Jack The Lad

Um, nahhhh dude.
This is actually the opposite of feminism.

In each of your stories the women are referred to as objects, not individuals.
…Objects without agency of their own whose worth is increased the less they participate in life or society. Even if one is to credit you with the best of intentions, you’re still spouting nonsense. You’re not even in the neighborhood of anything that resembles the truth of what feminism actually is, let alone the same ballpark.

No, no, no, nope.

If you actually think any of these patronizing anecdotes resembles anything close to feminism you need a better dictionary.

Doublespeak much you backwards, women-hating cunt-rag?

Xenophobia and anti-immigrant views played a key role in influencing the outcome of United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union Thursday evening, said CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.

….U.K. voters were swayed largely by nationalism and xenophobia when they decided this week to ditch the EU. Her repeated claim reflected her personal analysis, but she also pointed to recent article in the Economist, which argued in favor of the U.K. staying in the EU.
