Fuck this prude apologism. I mean, this all started with delusional feminist mooks attempting to convince us that burqas were somehow feminist. And a lot of people bought this bullshit. Some small number of them even joined the very feminist Isis as a result.
The essay to which I linked is very poorly reasoned, but it’s like catnip to self-hating modern feminists. It shows how “progressive” they are by embracing the intolerant and oppressive while reframing it as liberation. Which is something I need to write and think about more, and to read my Adorno again. This is how you get to Gilead, by the way. This is that path.
Destroy prudishness and self-hating libs. We owe it to ourselves.
