A choice, with the alternative quite possibly being at the least, severe harrasment, and at the worst, rape or death.

[-] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

A choice, yes. But not yours.

[-] AncientFutureNow@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

What a shitty take.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Muslim men showing their whole ass saying they'll rape the shit out of a uncovered woman. Absolutely disgusting patriarchal system of oppression.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Whole ass? Are ass chaps finally in style in middle east? It's about time. Seriously, what are referring to?

showing their whole ass

Are you an American?

[-] DancingYetiCrab@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

A person choosing to hurt, punish, rape, and murder another over a piece of clothing is a personal choice.

Me sitting at home disagreeing with how my government is run and writing to my representatives to tell them that is a personal choice.

Do you see how these choices are not the same?

[-] Historical_General@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Do you think?

[-] DancingYetiCrab@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I think there may be a misunderstanding here. I was replying to your assertion that all citizens of America are responsible for the actions of their government. I was trying to say that individual action of an individual (such as enforcing hateful rules or engaging in violence) is a personal action committed by a person. That person is responsible for their actions directly.

[-] Historical_General@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The misunderstanding is between individual and systemic action.

No comparison.

Condemning the way actual citizens act doesn't compare to what a government does. I can not kill people but I individually can't stop my government from doing it

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Because you dared criticize a religion. The same thing happened to me after making a comment about Islam and Judaism.

Seems the zealots have an agenda

[-] Historical_General@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What did you say about the Jews? Nothing too unkind I hope.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I simply pointed out that this community generally does well when criticizing Christianity but when it criticizes Islam or Judaism it's almost like a crusade.

Then my account got brigaded with downvotes

[-] Historical_General@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Same but I was defending lol. You might have downvoted me!

[-] Historical_General@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I've got unrelated posts downvoted by double digits - this is affecting other communities now, which is very annoying.

[+] Historical_General@lemmy.world -9 points 1 year ago

The other guy generalised 'Muslim men', who number in the hundreds of millions. Why is it unfair to generalise people like you?

[+] milady@lemmy.world -9 points 1 year ago

The other guy was talking about shit muslim men being like this, and shit muslim men being not a small minority, in syria for example. My (syrian) gf and her mom told me that before they left, her mom was often harassed for not wearing a hijab, pushed out of a bus once. You're saying that any american is responsible for the actions of their government, which is just not true seeing how bad the us gov is.

I don't think it's comparable, even if I understand that saying "muslim men" is not the best choice. I don't know of any other word though.

[-] gencha@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Muslim extremists.

[-] Historical_General@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fundamentalists, orthodox etc. People are just lazy and too used to seeing 'video game wars' but never really giving it any thought, thinking of Muslims as people - tbf, the US has very few Muslims, and the few they have are mostly wealthy, somewhat liberal and assimilated.
