| > but it's not like the western cultures treat women well It doesn't make any difference - at all. If I am a wife beater, that doesn't validate your wife beating. > and if a TV show just focuses on FGM I missed the part where anyone mentioned media exclusively focused on FGM. > neat excuse to bash certain races, Say I start a TV show whose sole purpose is to bash a certain race which does FGM. I have no altruistic motives. I am driven by hate. So fucking what? How does any of it make FGM sacred, so much as anyone saying something against it is a racist? > at the same time providing men with a neat way of dismissing their own sexism as "not proper sexism". Good thing that there are more than 1 bullet points for defining sexism. Besides, I have never seen anyone come up with an excuse that a certain tribe in a different part of the world treats their wives as a commodity, hence I can ask you to make a sandwich and that won't be sexism. If there are people who make this argument, they would already be doing it. Things worse than FGM exist in different parts of world. Those things didn't give anyone excuse for their sexism - FGM won't either. Your concerns are imaginary. > unless it's either a victim or an established feminist who was doing both this and intersectionality of gender and race oppression advocacy, I will suspect bringing up FGM is just a racist way to silence feminist. That is ridiculous. Unless you were among the civilians bombed by the drone, I will suspect this is your excuse for bashing US. See how absurd that is? And for the third time, my dishonesty doesn't automatically make you genuine. |
