1. "We shouldn't be asking women to cover up"

"People should be able to wear whatever they like without the fear of being raped" I guess the exception is where women are not allowed to wear what the want and get raped and beaten anyway because "it's their culture."

Without naming names (I don't want to be called a racist. Again) there are certain cultures where women have no rights, are forced to wear pretty much what she is wearing in the picture, (except, gasp! she has her face and hair exposed!) and get raped, beaten, and deprived of basic human rights anyway. But that's OK because it's their religion, or it's their culture. So misogyny is wrong, except for state-sponsored misogyny which is OK, and except for religiously mandated misogyny, which is also OK because..... because to call misogyny what it is is being racist. And to some deluded souls that is "being liberal".
