STOP USING THE PEARL ANALOGY!

A spontaneous radical muslim feminist rant about comparing hijabis/muhajabat (women who wear hijab) to pearls. This video is completely un-scripted so please excuse my pauses, "um...," "so yeah," and "y'know?"'s :P

Da'wa of the poorest kind. This child is being abused by the supremacist muslims.

@MilanpavicBelgium Piss off.

@lvsoad22 jealous?

@sexismBusters How is this pathetic? Have you ever considered the culture of these places? Have you considered the fact that some women like staying at home and some men like providing for their wives? The definition of freedom varies from culture to culture, so I suggest you shut up and listen to muslim men and women before speaking for them. And how can you wish for egalitarianism yet use the word "whore" to describe women?

You are perfect, mashAllah. I applaud your efforts and I am so happy to see the Muslim youth of today's world coming to realize all these different kinds of oppressions and objectifications in women's lives. Keep doing what you're doing; hopefully your Muslim and non-Muslim friends alike will come to share your view.

@sssjjjggg28 Get a life girl, leave this camel religion for what it is: camel shit.

But I admire your passion, little sister :)

The analogies are fine, we're just taking them more literal than they were intended to be. Their point is that your body has value, and you shouldn't make it available for mass-consumption of peoples' eyes. The point was never to say men ARE flies, or hijab is supposed to save girls from rape. But you could compare the animal instincts of men, activated by a revealing woman's image, to how flies are attracted by the candy. Hijab (even men's hijab) guards modesty... That was the point.

Excellently said and definitely something a lot of people need to take to heart.

@MissSFB1 That's not true. It just depends at the time and place and the guy. If a rapist wants to rape, he will rape no matter what. It's like saying black people are more prone to attract murders!~ Your idea that clothing would make men about dirty thoughts is stupid because if men can already imagine a women's body even if she is clothed. Just wearing a nijab doesn;t make men forget that there is breasts and a vagina under there.
