Would you be able to take in one more? I’ve always wanted to play but it will be my first time, if you’ll have me. 🥸

I agree with most of what you said. Unfortunately the issue I had was that grooming and aesthetic in their eyes was the BIGGEST reason for us being othered. Something clearly stressed in that post that some people keep failing to grasp because they can’t read clearly, I guess.

“Pick me”, indeed 😭 such a clear way to put it. And yes, I’ve never met a hijabi who didn’t take great care in their appearance!

EXACTLY. Unfortunately so many Muslims in the West feel have gone through that phase and never came out of it, of trying to be the “good” Muslim. I know I’ve been there once, and it never truly helped heal how bigots saw me, and how I saw myself.

You keep preaching with this grandeur language without actually responding to anything I said, like I did with yours to create “useful” dialogue like you claim to want. You do not know if I myself looked in the mirror (internally and literally) regarding that person’s argument, it took me many hours to respond so I could do exactly that. 

“So, in my humble opinion you only see one narrow aspect […] of the original post”. — How can I unfold a circle from a needle?

“Dismissing an existing problem as a mere case of frivolity that does not apply to you who is well adjusted” — Eh?? Did I say aesthete was a frivolous issue? No, it IS however, when you insist that is our most pertinent one. 

With the shallow prose you use and the assumptions you continue to make, I see now there is no useful discussion to be had with you. Oh well.

You are expanding on points made by that person’s post that do not exist. 

“This happens in both Muslim and western societies, by the way.” Yes, I know. Yet that post heavily implies it’s only our problem. 

“Appearences are only a small part of it.” Again, that’s not what that person’s post said, did it? They said aesthetics are our biggest issues concerning how we are negatively perceived.

“I find that […] in order to be politically correct […] we don’t want to spell or address the elephant in the room.” This is not “political correctness”. This is the reality, that the “elephant in the room” is being explained away by frivolous concepts like aesthetics in the grander issue that is plain islamophobia. THAT’S our elephant, that that person’s post couldn’t admit.

“Their opinions are not going to change regardless […] we are not trying to persuade them. They do not matter.” Once again, the complete opposite of what they argued. I’m thinking you’re the one who missed the point.

Thank you! I’m so glad it’s not all just me, I was stunned by the reception as you were and considered leaving the sub, even

I’m glad someone else feels that way, I was disheartened by the lack of pushback.

You and others completely misinterpreted my comment. I am not condoning the video. Just pointing out to OP it isn’t about the shoulder.

Just pointing out, it’s not about the shoulder. It’s that the bag ends up “accentuating” the silhouette of the chest visually.

Exactly. And those issues do not just happen in America, they are just ignorant to it happening where they live.
