Cool story except the history of religion is rooted in the patriarchal oppression of women (and the working class but that’s tangential). Just because some women of the modern day have internalized their own oppression does not justify the origins of why the practice was first institutionalized nor negate its roots as an oppressive institution
You’re right. It is nuanced. Women want to cover themselves because it makes them comfortable? Okay, cool, that’s what they want and that is valid. Women doing so for “religious reasons” is literally just internalized oppression. Those religious reasons are inherently oppressive. Religion itself as a societal institution is a tool of oppression.
Sure and the history of all atheism everywhere is rooted in communism, because it was invented by Karl Marx himself when he wrote “religion is the opiate of the masses”. /s
Take this as an opportunity to learn something. Goodbye.

The irony that someone who cannot recognize that religion is itself as an institution is a tool of oppression telling the other to learn something.
You’re a joke.
FYI, I’m not a fan of Marx. I prefer Kropotkin.
