(32,886 posts)I am beginning to wonder if it really is as simple as some folks, despite their protestations otherwise, really do have just that big of a hangup with nudity and sex such that it overrides all other considerations and beliefs.
And the backdrop is, we have a country, Tunisia, that is seriously considering abandoning their more moderate government in favor of one that implements Sharia. That is the original cause of Amina's protest which included her deciding to protest topless. That got her thrown in psychiatric hospital and has the government threatening to stone her to death. That in turn provoked Femen to protest on her behalf and of course we know how femen protests.
In the wake of that, we have individuals, as you aptly pointed out, cheering on the agency of the muslim women attacking Femen so they can be happy about wearing their hijab's while Amina is in danger of being stoned to death for protesting a form of government that is horrific toward women and has a real chance of being implemented.
But who cares about that right? There are naked boobs involved. That should be the real outrage.
