rubbish
there has been a lot of focus (conversations)
about domestic violence recently. i have not
heard it being discussed in context of victim
mentality
It always turns to that on here though. And there are always those who insist that as many or more men are victims of domestic violence. Along with the old women push men to violence by nagging.
They are "some of the muslim leaders who called for calm co-operation and support".

I do read those women, regularly. How else would I know they are on about?
Lydia Shelly:
We do not wear the badge of “victimhood” and those who believe that Muslim women, when they draw attention to racism, sexism or Islamophobia are “playing the victim card” are confused.

2014 was the year we saw women leading the way for social change. We saw women engage in dialogue with other women from a diversity of backgrounds to offer their support and we saw the transformation of hash tag politics into real action. #iwillridewithyou. #istandwithmariam.
Australian women showed the country what true leadership looked like in the face of ugliness and hate.
There was a disconnect in the way Australian women addressed issues of racism, sexism and Islamophobia and the political rhetoric that sought to divide, inflame and distract.
As women, in 2015, we cannot wait for government policy or organisations to address gender inequality.
We have the capacity to empower each other and stand with women not only within the borders of Australia, but on the international stage against racism, sexism and religious vilification, to foster resilience, speak justly and to be advocates for peace in the face of adversity.
Just like Mariam.

lol just couldnt write an opinion piece
in new matilda without:
We are in deep, deep trouble if Miranda Divine is seen as a beacon of knowledge on Muslim women, Islam or feminism. Or even Australian politics.

interesting comment: (under the full article)
Of course the problem with this speech is not that the incidents claimed here are not true (sadly the probably are) but there is a very clear implication that anyone who is critical of the ideology of Islam is the indistinguishable from the sort of crass bully who would harass any woman in our public spaces. There is of course a huge difference.
Islam is not a benign faith it is an imperialistic ideology that wants to dominate the world through force of arms rather than by having attractive and beautiful ideas , it is irrevocably at odds with so many of the secular values that so many here hold dear yet so many are frightened to challenge the ideology.
Glee there is no evidence of truth in anything you write either , that's why they are called personal opinions, but unlike you I write what I believe , not what some one else tells me to believe
