(27,670 posts)that is so totally dishonest.
You made no attempt to refute the sourced facts I posted, but instead, resorted to insincere bullshit personal attacks on my character, voicing unfounded assumptions and making duplicitous accusations about how I view the world.
You very clearly know nothing about me, yet make myriad false assumptions and accusations about me that have no basis in reality whatsoever, and which could not be further from the truth...but you wouldn't know that, because you have only been posting here for 6 months.
"You see a Western capitalist culture that commodifies women as superior" ~ well, maybe so, to an extent, but only because I have the right to publicly complain about misogyny and homophobia, drive a car, and openly struggle to change it, while women in many Islamist religion controlled states do not. Those are real biggies for most of us. I have to admit, it does give me a warm fuzzy to be able to walk down the street and know that the government is not going to arrest and execute me for being LGBT.
"You articulate an ideology inculcated in you as part of an effort to justify endless military aggression in the Muslim World by our own country. I despise reactionary imperialism. That you image all of Islam is the same is woefully uninformed, and dangerously so because it's part of the ideology of endless war."
OMG, really? Will someone please pass me the freedom fries?
More dishonesty. Geez. Now I'm accused of being brainwashed by Limbaugh and in league with the PNAC war mongers that I exposed and trashed mightily for 8 years, for simply pointing out that many Islamic religious states legally oppress women and LGBT persons
Ain't that a hoot.
And yes, I do firmly believe that religion is the primary force on the planet that is primarily responsible for the nurturing and perpetuation of homophobia and misogyny, and that if religion is not kept separate from state, conservative authoritarian oppression results in every aspect of society and culture. And I do firmly believe that legalized bullying of women and LGBT's is rampant in the Islamist world. It's very well documented, and if you would take the time to read about it, and are able to accept facts that are contrary to your dearly held beliefs, you will find that what I said in this paragraph is indisputable
In any case, please, try to keep your beloved authoritarian religions, and your bullshit, out of my government, my life, and my body.
This western multiracial LGBT woman does not want her country to become like Saudi Arabia, or North Carolina.
And BTW...I am not a source of your honor.
