CALIGVLAWhy are they so afraid of women?
cygnusConservative Sunni Islam’s attitude towards women basically boils down to men needing to see as little as possible of them, lest they become uncontrollably rapey. Shia are a little bit less misogynistic, and Sufi are significantly less so.
geneva_convenienceSunni Islam does not prescribe women being fully veiled nor does it forbid schooling. The Taliban are following tribalism not Islam.
I used “conservative” for a reason. Sunni men writ large consider the hijab mandatory, but not face coverings.
There is no conservative version of Sunni Islam which prescribes it. The word conservative means to adhere to tradion.
Worlds first university was created by an Islamic Sunni woman.
Full face coverings were only prescribed for the women of the Prophet. This is universally accepted.
What the Taliban is following is nothing more than tribalistic misogyny. A red pill cult. It has nothing to do with Islam.
I guess it’s just a coincidence that the most conservative Sunni countries are aggressively misogynistic? Unless Wahhabists are actually secret feminists.
Wahabism originated in Saudi Arabia worked with the British to overthrow the Islamic Caliphate. Anything originating in Saudi for the past few centuries should be taken with a large amount of salt.
Islam Doesn’t Deny Women Education, So Why Does the Taliban?
“Saudi misogyny is actually the fault of the British” is the second-most hilarious take I’ve read all year, right behind “making fun of LLMs for being bad at math is ableist” (an actual post I read on Mastodon).
The Caliphate was Islamic. Saudi waged war against the Caliphate.
Nothing here blames the British for misogyny. That is a strawman.
