52. nope, i am not confused with hijab or burqa

i am just making a point that state sanctioned clothing is nothing similar to whatever it is that women in this culture wear out of choice. hijab/burqa/chador/purdah etc are not similar to someone wearing next to nothing at the grammy's.

i dont have time to do this, but iverglas made a claim that i dont get to be a feminst if i prioritize the rights of the lgbt community over straight women. i think thats a bunch of bullshit determined by people who cannot see how their straightness is a huge privilege in this society (and really any society, even ones in which gays have equal rights).

it took a long time for straight feminist to even acknowledge gay feminists in the feminism movement, this is why it is important to me to acknowledge that our priorities may not be the same. while you seek equality in your marriage, i seek the rights to marriage. while pornification may be a big deal to you, it almost doesn't register as particularly important to me. porn, sex-work and visibility of queer women are places that i have most recently found huge difference with feminists in this particular forum.
