Sonam kapoor lost her mind - Page 3

Exactly! You said it perfectly. Many things to criticise Sonam for but this is not one of them.

I can already tell this thread is about to become a clusterf*ck of "Jehadi this" and "Muslims that" and "Pakistani influence" but this is really about allowing the woman to choose. Who are we? or who is the state for that matter to tell ANY WOMAN what to wear and eat?

And please dont imagine that you or me or anyone else speaks for women- it really is their choice if they want to wear a hijab or a bikini or tankini or whatever. Imagining that all of them are doing so under the pressure of some hyper conservative patriarch just because they are Muslim is the WORST kind of prejudice.

Except it's not prejudice at all. There are literally countries where women are jailed or tortured for not wearing a hijab or burkha. So slyly justifying practises like burkha or hijab is the worst kind of enabling for social oppression.

The women who wear it willingly are a minority compared to the ones who are subjugated into wearing it around the world. So..

It is indeed about Hijab NOT ALLOWED IN SCHOOL. Get your shit right about this first, then we talk about legitimate news websites.

Riiight. It's really not and you either dont know how to counter the argument i made or you didn't get the point of the debate The only reason the ban was amended to exclude turbans in France was due to the activism and protests by Sikh activists against the French state.https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-16547479

Unless of course the BBC is also fake news! LOL.

Similarly, this isn't just a "school", this is a state run educational institution, which will set the precedent for all govt run institutions in Karnataka, making it all the more vital for activists/people in disagreement to register their disagreement.

In summation, you basically didn't understand the argument at all or you wilfully choose not to engage but thanks for playing!

Oh for fcuks sake there’s nothing wrong with that analogy. Sonam says a lot of sodumb things but this ain’t one of them unless you already have preconceived notions formed in your mind against Muslims. Also I am not a Muslim, I am a Hindu-Buddhist, feminist, far leftist. I will defend any woman’s rights to wear whatever the heck she wants, whether that be a burka or a bikini. Stop policing women’s clothes.

THIS!!

People are so confusing a woman's right to what she wants to wear vs,,,women being forced to wear something......First the right has to be protected.....everything else will follow......I am not in favor of burqa but if a woman wants to wear it...it should be her right other than where it hinders security.....BTW they are fighting for Hijaab and not Burqa...

If we talk about regressive customs...there are a lot that need to be weeded out from every religion....but the rights always come first.....unless it is something that is going to harm/kill the woman like Sati pratha...

Women should have the right to wear whatever they want to: burkha, saree, monokini.. Learn that. we dont decide what they should or shouldn't wear.

I read a tweet yesterday.....No one has the right to tell women what to wear..not even Sabhyasachi..🤣

The controversy here is the women wants to wear it and some morons prevents them from wearing it. It is something related to thier belief and if in a democratic country we cannot wear what we desire, then there no point in calling it a secure democratic Republic.

In all religion there are certain practices which is included as part of male dominated society. That should be changed gradually, it should not be forced. There are people in every religion refuse to follow certain practices willingly. That is their choice. On the other hand, the problem here is their basic freedom is being questioned.

In Hinduism, women used to be required to observe a very strict fast after their husbands died, atleast in Bengal. When Vidyasaagar fought to introduce widow marriage, some widows opposed him saying he was going against religion.

See how easily patriarchy can brainwash women into supporting their own oppression.

What a dumb argument !

Should we ban marriage because some women are forced into it ?

I live in France and turban is definitely banned in school. France recognizes no religion. All the religious symbols are banned in school.

Just out of curiosity...so how do Sikh boys attend school over there?

Right on! The best analogy for desis if there ever was one.
