Thank you for bringing up the women fighting to be #FreeFromHijab It’s unfortunate that @karaswisher quickly changed the subject *twice* and brushed our plight away...but I’m not surprised. As you suggested, this issue causes western feminists to freeze like deer in headlights.https://twitter.com/SamHarrisOrg/status/1126136047128039426 …

I do not agree with Harris here at all and I did not expect this to be a topic. It is not a topic I am not qualified to speak on, so I did not want to press back and get it wrong, allowing his mistaken view to prevail. I should have more clearly said he was wrong here tho

You, admittedly, are not versed on the topic, and don’t feel comfortable speaking abt it, yet you still feel confident enough to state that Sam is wrong. Interesting. I am versed on the topic and am very comfortable speaking on it, and everything Sam stated was indisputable fact.

You lost me at indisputable

Kara, you’ve admitted you don’t know much about the hijab. And I certainly believe that to be true. If you’re willing to understand, to learn, to care about ppl outside your little bubble, I’m happy to have a conversation.

I am happy to have a conversation and I am guessing we probably agree a lot here, but I also try not to make statements on stuff I only know on a superficial level. Happy to discuss.
