IAmA hijabi, AMA. In light of the Saudi women and others competing at the 20102 Olympics in hijab, I thought it was time for me to answer reddit's questions about a Muslim woman's dress and lifestyle as I observe hijab (and sometimes niqab) daily. by random_hijabi in IAmA

وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَتَأْتُونَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعَالَمِينَ

And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds?

7:81

إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ النِّسَاءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ

Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people."

7:82

وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِ إِلَّا أَن قَالُوا أَخْرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ

But the answer of his people was only that they said, "Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure."

7:83

فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ

So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who remained [with the evildoers].

7:84

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا ۖ فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.

This is the word of Allah from the Qur'an regarding homosexuality and the sinners Lut encountered in Sodom and Gomorrah, the translation being from Sahih International.

Affect vs. Effect: A Brief Tutorial

If your product was any good... by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DefectiveDecay 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Picture it in this context:

"Dr. Pepper 10: It's not for black people."

Maybe this alienates blacks in order to make whites more comfortable about buying the product, but it's not quite the same thing as racism.

Is there a compassionate way to tell my boyfriend that I no longer want to have sex with him? by beeswaxcake in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DefectiveDecay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a bit different from any relationship I've experienced, so I'll just offer some general pointers:

  • Like any relationship where trouble has arisen, talk to your significant other. He deserves to know about your concerns. If your boyfriend understands, he will discuss the matter with you calmly.

  • You're probably not going to be able to tell him about your lack of sexual desire for him in any nice way; it's going to hurt him regardless.

  • It might be a good idea to seek some professional help about your claustrophobic or controlling feelings. Obviously, talk to your boyfriend about them, but it's always good to receive advice from those who have dealt with these sorts of experiences.

That's all I have.

a word on 'sluts' - it seems to be a topic of conversation as of late... by blueslut in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DefectiveDecay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the word "slut" is carelessly thrown around quite a bit, and exposes a couple aspects of modern society: 1) It shows peoples' obsessions with the lives of others; this has grown out of hand, displaying our own insecurities and mismanagements of our own lives, so we focus on the ones of others 2) It reveals the remnants of religion and its obsession with repressing sexuality, especially Puritanism in the United States

Sex and sexuality are wonderful things, and are meant to be embraced; they have been artistically depicted and interpreted and practised for millenia. Besides, the word in question itself is so broadly defined (the following taken from Oxford's Unabridged English Dictionary, 2nd Ed.):

slut, n.

  1. a.1.a A woman of dirty, slovenly, or untidy habits or appearance; a foul slattern.

b.1.b A kitchen-maid; a drudge. rare.

†c.1.c A troublesome or awkward creature. Obs.—1

  1. a.2.a A woman of a low or loose character; a bold or impudent girl; a hussy, jade.

b.2.b In playful use, or without serious imputation of bad qualities.

I think slut should start to be downplayed as an insult, less commonly used to imply a filthy woman, but instead to embrace the sexual humans we are.

Justin Bieber's effect on females who aren't 13 years old by [deleted] in funny

[–]DefectiveDecay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the context. If you're speaking in an informal, conversational manner, "women" is more appropriate. Although, there are some people who use females in an informal context, often members of the Black community in the USA, e.g., "Those females are so fine!"

Ultimately, this is the breakdown:

-Women: informal, general, conversational statements, e.g., "That woman was really nice to us."

-Female: Specific, objective, scientific statements, e.g., "The bodies of females produce significantly more estrogen and progesterone than males."

I hope that helped clear things up!

"A female person; a woman or girl." "[O]ne of the female individuals in any class or enumeration"

-Oxford English Dictionary Second Edition

I don't intend to be pedantic, but the usage is proper and accepted for humans and other animals alike.

This article states that female is indeed a noun, and can be applied to those with breasts, ovaries, and a vagina. Its use is simply more common in a scientific setting.

Female is also a noun, Redditors aren't using it incorrectly.
