The hijab is not a gadget, it’s not a toy; you can’t wear it one day and feel good and want to show the world that you’re not racist or Islamophobic. What about the other 364 days of the year? Mona Eltahawy
So should the feminist movement in Spain, for example, say nothing regarding this issue, and not take a position on the veil?
Exactly. This is what I believe. I know it bothers a lot of people, because they say that, since it is a women’s issue, it affects them too. This is a very complicated matter. But the most important thing is to combat the patriarchy. The Spanish feminist movement would do a much better job facing the patriarchy in areas it is familiar with, in cases such as “la Manada” [the case of five men convicted for sexually abusing an 18-year-old at the 2016 Running of the Bulls]. Sexual assault in this country, as in all countries, is terrible. Focus on that. There are problems with patriarchy in all cultures and communities. Let me fight my stuff and you fight yours. Together we fight the patriarchy, which is our ultimate goal. That said, I am still against the hijab and the niqab, but I want it to be us who have this conversation.

A Roman soldier performed a “high jab” on Christ using his spear on Christ’s side.
The more we know, the happier we will be….
What unintelligible nonsense. Leave it to an activist to piss on others’ good faith token attempt at bridging a gap. What happened in NZ has NOTHING to do with sexual assault or feminism, take off the patriarchy-colored glasses.
