    Why isn't @womensmarch supporting women in Iran ripping their hijabs off in brave protest against a misogynist theocracy? Like, at all? Don't care about women of color? This is your brain on postmodernism, intersectionality, and identity politics. https://twitter.com/lalodagach/status/947965367959412736 …

        Whenever I say something, good rule of thumb - check and see if @HPluckrose wrote something awesome about it already (odds are always good the answer is yes). Looking forward to publishing your latest piece!

        "In attempts to valorise Eastern cultures, western intersectional activists decide which things can be owned by them and which are forced upon them by the west." This is something I've wanted to say for very long!

        Great article. The feminist/Islam hypocrisy is probably the most glaring example of how postmodern theories like intersectionality fail.

        my head's going in circles with this bit. took a religious studies class last sem. we learned about the perception of muslim empire though ( i guess??? ) a post-colonial lense? muslim empire was very scholarly but that's ignored bc of orientalismpic.twitter.com/nNJ5vpXPeh

        Replying to @HPluckrose

        what gets me the most when it comes to bullshit like this is the rhetoric tends to ignore that the muslim empire *heavily* emphasized scholarship, philosophy, and science in that, ironically, falls the idea of human rights
