Qasim Rashid, Esq.

The Missouri GOP is trying to pass state House rules that ban women from the right to bare arms.

No, literally, they're trying to ensure women don't show their bare arms. This is your part of "small government."

And FYI the Missouri GOP banning women from showing their bare arms isn’t a sign of Shariah or Taliban—it’s a sign of right wing “Christian” extremism in the U.S. Govt.

Stop deflecting extremism in America as something foreign. It’s 100% American. Admit it. Own it. Work to stop it.

@CalBear96 @QasimRashid From this article, a Dem legislator made a great point, "The caucus that lost their minds over the suggestion that they should wear masks during a pandemic to respect the safety of others is now spending its time focusing on the fine details of what women have to wear (and specifically how many layers must cover their arms) to show respect in this chamber."

@earthlingusa @CalBear96 @QasimRashid

I remember when Republicans had a meltdown over Michele Obama's well-toned and fit arms.

It's always about controlling women to make evangelicals vote for the GOP.

Why all the fuss over a first lady's bare arms?

Missouri Republicans Have Found Their Post-Roe Enemy: Cardigans

Missouri has a lot of problems, but if you were in the statehouse today, you would have thought the biggest one was what female legislators wear. Peter Merideth (D-St. Louis) shared the news on Twitter, "Debating the house rules on the floor today, and the first amendment offered by a Republican is about making stricter the rules of what women have to wear in here."

There is nothing in the Bible saying don't have bare arms. Dress modestly & don't dress like a prostitute. You can have bare arms and meet those requirements in the West so there is nothing in the Bible forcing them to let alone force everyone else to.
