Um what??? WTAF? It is not "conservative" to critique the religious oppression of women, good GOD. 🤦
Edit: To clarify, religious fundamentalism IS conservatism
That doesn't mean it is right to discriminate against people on the basis of their religion or culture. And it CERTAINLY doesn't mean exercising discrimination or prejudice because of someone's race or skin colour (a la Trump), but I will always criticise conservative and oppressive values and I will always criticise religious fundamentalism and I will always criticise the oppression of women, WHICHEVER religion or culture or race it comes from.
Perhaps this is why I identify as a progressive or a leftist rather than a "liberal". It sounds like the above person is centrist at best. If you are so liberal that you are willing to turn a blind eye to oppression then you are far to the right of my own values.
So yeah I may be less liberal than yourself but that's because I lie further to the progressive left, NOT the conservative right as you wildly claim.
Edit 2: I don't need to go "talk to some women" since I literally am one.
Is the image this thread is spawned off of based on religious oppression? Is there signs this woman has been coerced, intimidated, manipulated or abused? Do point it out to me.
