Interesting read with some interesting points. Women today are the most sexualised they have ever been in history. Their sexualisation is used to sell products, so it's no wonder that women who tend to get to the top in entertainment will use sexuality for that reason. There are a lot of great feminists, groups, and movements, but you won't hear about them with todays media circus.
I'm a supporter of topless women protesting, because it takes back their sexualisation from being that as a commercial tool, to being used as a political weapon. Men and women should both be allowed to walk around topless without being hassled or harrassed.
In regards to Islam it is an unfair assumption that is has been taken over by terrorists. This is just what the media tells us. The international Muslim community is constantly condemning terrorism, and saying that Terrorism is not part of Islam; it even says in the Quran that Terrorism is worse than killing. But all we hear is the fear, hate, and ignorance from our media and politicians.
The amount of terrorist attacks from "Muslims" in both Europe and the USA is miniscule in comparison to other religions. In Europe 2015 "Muslims" accounted for 2% of terrorist attacks. In the USA between 1980 and 2005 "Muslims" accounted for 6% of the terrorist attacks. You don't hear about the non-muslim attacks, but if they were carried out by Muslims you would.
There are some really great feminists, but like in any other movement, reasonable people are shoved aside and replaced by the most radical. I guess it's the "squeaky wheel gets the grease" syndrome. I like Christina Hoff Sommers and Camille Paglia, both make a lot of sense. I got to spend an hour or so with Camille when I was in Washington at a conference...what a wit!
I've never came across the "squeaky wheel" idiom before.
Attributed to this poem:
"I hate to be a kicker, I always long for peace, But the wheel that does the squeaking, Is the one that gets the grease."I just heard it in one of those old sayings "the squeaky wheel always gets the grease." I have never heard the root.
