      Therefore, it's seldom useful to use the word 'hypocrisy.' Judging a contradiction to be hypocrisy is the least charitable way of seeing it.

      Very often, one person can call another 'hypocrite' when actually they're viewing two things as different that first sees as the same.

      Then a conversation can happen about whether they are equivalent or not & that's more likely to get at the problem.

      Eg, if a feminist claims to oppose socially conservative ideas abt dress that unfairly burden women but is positive abt hijab & niqab...

      ...it can be tempting to call her a hypocrite & claim she only cares abt equality & freedom for white non-Muslim women ...

      ...but that is an easy 'gotcha' designed to hit home and is almost certainly not what's going on in her head.

      The person accusing is seeing the situations as the same & requiring same response whilst the feminist is seeing them as different.

      Universal liberalism vs cultural relativity. And that's where the problem actually is & what needs discussing.

      Of course, some ppl genuinely are hypocrites. Eg pastor says homosexuality is wrong & disgusting. Has secret boyfriend.

      And other ppl don't seem to realise that hypocrisy is going against your own stated values, not those others think you shld have

      Eg 'You claim to be an atheist but you support Muslim reformers. Hypocrite!' One illogical accusation I've had.

          Or they think hypocrisy is having views inconsistent with dominant views of your group/government/party.

          Eg 'You go on abt freedom of speech to Americans whilst UK has shit record on it, hypocrite!' Yes. I am not the uk. I'm Helen.

          But when plausible accusations of hypocrisy are made, most often there are different distinctions being made & cognitive dissonance.

          It's not an inconsistent position, but I do think Muslim reform maybe harder than just welcoming all ex-muslims with open arms
