There’s been a lot of shitflinging on my TL concerning this tweet. Honestly, I’m not sure. Can the “not touching the opposite sex” thing can be just a quaint local tradition or is this necessarily associated with misogyny and patriarchy?
I don’t think I’ve ever known a Muslim like that but in my experience orthodox jews like that are more likely to be misogynistic than not…
I saw this lady’s horrible tweet too, but I think it’s fair to say most of the discussion happened outside of its context, before people unearthed it.
That’s fair, but I think it’s always important to keep in mind that when people make broad criticisms of the culture in a majority Muslim country they’re usually not doing so with any amount of nuance or perspective. And it also definitely vindicates the “white woman moment” comment.
It is also just not culturally accepted to touch the opposite sex. She’s a piece of shit
