I warn my sisters, from taking lessons from men, when it pertains to your femininity and rights in Islam and so forth. Whether they call themselves Gaal or Muslim, many of them share the interest in subjugating women. They are all threatened by women having agency over themselves, because it means they cannot get away with neglect or even abuse.
Ask yourselves why the term 'feminism' angers them so much? When at its root, feminism is just aimed at achieving harmless goals such as equal pay, equal rights and so forth. The only issue Muslim women should have with feminism, is when it conflicts with Islam. But where it relates, why should we take issue with it?
Especially those of us women who live in the West, why should we not figure out who to ally with, when it serves us? Not every woman has a mahrem to provide for her. Many women are single mothers, who need to raise children. Do they not deserve equal pay? These are the things that feminist movements have fought for;
1. Voting Rights
2. Equal pay
3. Anti-Sexism
Ask yourself why this movement bothers these men.

Youβve stated things that women already have in the modern day and even have in a lot of non first world countries. Iβd say youβre being a bit dishonest when talking about feminism if you accentuate purely only these points. Feminism in its modern form is a massive trap for Muslim women as they initially get you with these talking point then go on and Brianwash you with itβs more degenerate teachings later on, donβt be fooled.
Walale, you said the issue is radical feminism. But when radical feminists say that men are the ones who subjugate women. Is this actually a lie? Is the 'patriarchy' a made-up concept?
Are men not the ones who oppress women, and abuse them? Or is there another species on earth, that subjugates women?

patriarchy exists sure, but itβs for the good of women as itβs for the good of men too, without patriarchy you donβt have strong leaders who protect womenβs rights and the patience women need for their physical disadvantages in law as women arenβt capable of holding such positions like men are in order to protect women. Men can also suffer because of other men due to the patriarchy, only the most powerful men really benefit while most other men will suffer due to it if the men at the top arenβt good men, although it does have some benefits to all men.
That doesnβt mean that patriarchy canβt be used as a position to oppress women too (this only happens in cultures where womenβs rights arenβt protected though), but patriarchy doesnβt naturally mean βwomen oppressedβ and instead in many cases means women are protected especially in Islam. Itβs also important to remember that women love the patriarchy, they love strong men who are leaders who they can follow and protect and provide for them, while they hate weak men with no power and no ability to do anything for them, in other words women are just as responsible for upholding the patriarchy as men are.
Also women also oppress other women and sometimes even men with their own form of power (the matriarchy) with backbiting, ostracizing, belittling and dehumanizing other women and men. Women have a social power that men tend not to have, women are much more socially adept and better at controlling the social sphere in a way men donβt (menβs control tends to be more economic and status based) people tend to be much more empathetic towards a womenβs needs and wants which gives them a kind of social power men donβt have.
I heard a saying once: 'It's not all men, but it's always a man'
I'm glad you are a good man, and that the men in your family are good also. But ask any girl or woman in your life, if anyone ever harmed or scared them, and guess what? It's always a boy or a man.
All us women want, is to be left in peace and to be treated like human beings.
This is a lie, women tend to be harmed by other women throughout their life much more than men, the people who ostracize them are other women, the people who bully them are other women, the people who tend to ruin their name and reputation tends most of the time to be other women. All that being said obviously the harm a man can cause a women tends to be different and more severe but itβs also much more rare than what women go through with other women. Stop pretending in this la la world where women all come together and leave in peace, it doesnβt happen.
It's not ridiculous. When a girl or a woman is abused, it's a male that did it.
Wrong, women are much more likely to abused by other women if you count any kind of abuse.
In fact, when young boys are raped or abused, it's a male that did it.
Well yeah, when it comes to sexual violence it tends to be males who commit it towards females and other males
The female gender has its faults, but if the world was only filled with women, there would be far less sexual or violent crimes and that's a fact.
Youβre right there would be less sexual violence and obvious violent crimes but there would be an uptick in social segregation, the oppressing of women by other women and non obvious violent crimes e.g. using poison (the most easiest and secret method) to kill someone rather than doing it in a clear and obviously violent way like with a knife.
Also if you think men arenβt protected/upholded by women when it comes to men committing crimes that only men tend to commit then youβre solely mistaken. Are you really going to back up a stranger female over your brother/husband etc if she accused him of sexual assault? Of course you wouldnβt, especially if youβre close with them, all the females in that guys life will get protection from those women and theyβll defend that guy socially and stake their word at it. So to say that itβs only purely the XY chromosomes that are responsible for such behaviour is silly, thereβs so many women out there that are much more responsible for the behaviours of what men did than some random guy that has nothing to do with the situation.
E.g. do you think Iβm more responsible for what Jeffery Epstein did because I hold a XY chromosome over the guys wife Ghislaine Maxwell, cause sheβs holds XX chromosomes? Even though she helped felicitate his behaviour? Very silly thinking, this is what feminism does to the mind. It absolves women of all fault and puts all blame on men and misguides women and their judgment. Youβre already infected somewhat with the black and white thinking feminism gives you. Itβs honestly a shame.
