Re: Liberation by Veil
I'm saying my peace and this is it. Find articles from LEGITIMATE, UNBIASED, and reputable studies. There have been absolutely NO legitimate studies done to back up anything that any of you have said. Every study points in the opposite direction. But fine, continue living in your fairytale land where you engage in victimizing the victim even further. I must admit, you are all textbook examples of what we term the "second rape," or rape of the victim by society.
When you attribute modesty as a personal value to a human being, and when they fail to meet your standards, you devalue them, just as a rapist does. You cannot dehumanize another human being, and have respect for them, while violating their personal boundaries, and violating the only thing they own- their bodies.
You ARE equating women to property by correlating them to money or cake. They are not something to own, they are autonomous human beings with the same rights as everyone else.
I will continue doing my part to research, prevent, and destroy violence against women.
And what do the rest of you do? Sit back, do nothing, complain about the wrongdoings of women (nevermind ignoring the perpetrator), and tell academics and researchers that they're wrong.
Yet you do nothing to aid victims or stop these instances of violence from occuring. You rely on stereotypes and biases which only support cowardice, ignorance, and misogyny.
