225. If you want to help,

my post #215 is the best I got.

If you want to understand why Muslim women cooperate inside an unjust system (generally without "seeing" it is unjust), there's plenty of factors. Basically the same ones that exist to support the status quo anywhere.

Maybe you think that you would be different: you would NEVER go along with it.

Hmmm.

Are you female? If so, do you spend money on hair and makeup? Wear high heels? Try to look pretty and thin and stylish?

The "looks game" is sexist. It judges women far more harshly than men. But we play anyway, don't we? We don't say, "Fuck it - I'll be as fat and homely as I want."

(Cooperating with a culture that values female youthfulness is especially hilarious. We all know we will start losing that game by age 35 or so... But we play ever more desperately as we start falling behind. Feminists too. And what are we doing? Competing against other women, to the detriment of all women.

Muslim women compete (againat each other) to fit into the rules of their society. If they don't, or if they try and fail, the punishments are frightening. If they win the game they get rewarded. it's a precarious reward, since they have accepted lesser status and a restricted life under men's thumbs. But think about the risks of bucking the system.

The solution would be for all Muslim women in an entire region to quit the game at the same time, so none could be punished for nonconformity. Is that likely to happen? Every girl is raised to strive for the golden apple.

Are western women ever going to quit the beauty race en masse?

One, two, three.... All together, now, ladies!
