Here’s a link to the Swedish organization for Muslim feminists. Just because I know it will make the trolls explode.

After a shitty couple of days dealing with on-going health problems and the fallout from one of my half-sisters assaulting my father this thread has cheered me up immensely. That gif of SFHC dancing on the troll actually provoked a real life belly laugh from me!
@varalys
Sorry to hear about your health and family issues.
It’s great that you can laugh. I hope your situation continues to improve.
You know its almost like there is more then one form of Islam,
and ironically Islam was the progressive Abrahamic religion when it showed up.
These so called “migrants” that we wish to to welcome into our nations are refugees fleeing an apocalyptic death cult called daesh and government that uses chemical weapons on it own civilians.
And you know the only thing I can recall one of these refugees doing in my home town? Some fellow opened a falafel place with a big sign on the wall declaring that all races, religions, genders, orientations, and abilities are welcome.
In contrast there have been plenty of non-Muslim homophobes and assorted other bigots to worry abut some even in my local government,
so I’ll just focus on the bigots because that is the important part here.
I think David Henderson meant to write
Following on from Abloobloobloobloo’s assertion that men have a right to onions.
@TreePerson
Various countries with large or majority muslim populations were fairly progressive until quite recently, when the US and/or the USSR decided to use them as proxies in the cold war. A huge amount of the damage done in the middle east and by terrorism abroad isn’t a natural outcome of islam after all, but a response to foreign imperialism. Its kinda heartbreaking looking at old photos of Iran, Afghanistan, Lebanon, etc, and seeing a world very different from the gynocidal patriarchies people like mr henderson spend their time fantasizing about.
(Incidentally, I don’t feel that this excuses the actions of said terrorists, the [often US-installed] totalitarian regimes or the people fighting against them. It is, however, important to remember that these people didn’t appear in a vacuum)
Boring troll is boring. What happened to the seagull-eating engineer? Did he asplode IRL?
I think it’s hilarious – well, it’s a fucking joke anyway – that so many of our home-grown misogynists try to scare us with the bogeyman of Islam, all the while our own theocrats are willing to break democracy in order to legislate away the rights of women, LGBTQ people, and other “unclean” classes. Exhibit A: the theft of Obama’s final Supreme Court appointment. Exhibit B: the North Carolina State legislature.
Seconding EJ and PoM. The attitude (not the content) reminds me of those eejits who say “If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys? Huh?” and think they’ve pulled a huge gotcha.
Islam bad feminists silent yada yada heard it 5000 times already.

This could be a Pokemon-style evolution into his next stage. Maybe that was what he was trying to tell us about the .gifs; if he gets too many of them then he turns into a white supremacist.
@PoM, EJ
Well, we were told not to feed the trolls after midnight.
@Mish
To be fair, there’s a lot of overlap between those two groups. They all sound the same because they are the same, I guess.
Projection’s a helluva drug…
That’d probably be more disorienting than welcoming…
Demographic shifts over decades to the detriment of white homogeneity isn’t a crisis. And, besides, 1)what rights have been taken away from women 2)since the start of this ‘crisis’ 3)that were revoked due to migration?
The classic, ‘white straight Christian men will treat you badly if y’all don’t stop hurting their feelings’, victim blaming, thinly veiled threat play. Oldie but a goodie
I has a sad that Abunga exploded after I went to sleep and I missed it all. Replacement goldfish troll isn’t fooling me – he’s nothing like the genuine article.
So engineer-wannabes evolve into white supremacists? Seems legit.
Boring New Troll: You ladies…
Mammotheers: We’re not all ladies.

Is this another word whose spelling you can’t be arsed to check, or do you think you’re engaging in clever word-play here? Mis-spelling trolls can cause passing amusement, but originality is to be encouraged.
I had a pretty bad weekend and Monday due to insomnia and not getting my money on time (don’t worry, I got paid only a day late!), so I just want to thank all the trolls for brightening up my day and making me laugh in spite of myself. Trolls, especially the ones that have such…glorious meltdowns give me life.
Also, hi y’all, I’m still not dead! 🙂 *waves*
Hello WHTM friends, I have enjoyed reading many of the well-written and well-argued replies to these trolls. Perhaps this thread is winding down anyway, at last, but I wanted to offer a few thoughts for today, April 25th. I apologize for being off-topic, but I will try to relate this to other recent comments. (Also, I’m sorry for the length of this post).
First, congratulations and respectful good wishes to readers from Australia, New Zealand, and other places where ANZAC Day is celebrated. I find much to respect and honor in the military history of Australia and New Zealand. Several years ago a video of a public statement by then Chief of Army, Australia Defence Force, Lieutenant General David Morrison on abolition of sexual harassment and assault in the Australian Army became popular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaqpoeVgr8U I like many things about this, but I think it’s useful in discussions like the ones we have here for several reasons. It so easily defeats the hackneyed misogynist canard that advocacy with feminist causes is incompatible with cis-gender masculine identity and the roles traditionally associated with that identity.
OK, that’s a wordy way of saying it so here’s the essence: Morrison makes this statement **just like an Australian soldier** – imbuing it with the same badass-i-tude and vigor anyone who knows their military history expects from them. Morrison makes clear that absolute intolerance for sexual harassment and assault in the Australian Army draws on the same vigor and resolve behind Gallipoli, the defense of Tobruk, Alamein, the crossing of the Owen Stanleys, et. al. As a soldier I find that compelling, and although I already have many reasons to honor our Australian allies on their day now I am motivated to do so even more. I have recommended through my chain of command that GEN Milley (U.S. Army Chief of Staff) make that a statement with THAT kind of vigor before the close of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, which the U.S. Army observes in April.
April 25th is a special day in military history for another reason – the anniversary of the “Oath of the Elbe” and the link-up of patrols from the 69th Infantry Division, U.S. Army and 58th Guards Rifle Division, Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army on the Elbe River near Torgau during the closing weeks of World War II. Other commenters have spoken of REAL examples of men who become activists for causes that affect men. MRA’s talk about war a lot, but do little. Instead one might look to the example of PFC Joseph Polowsky of the 69th Infantry Division. Polowsky (who was on one of the patrols in the very-first link-ups_ overcome with emotion at the moment, suggested that the common soldiers and junior officers from both armies present, then and there, on the banks of the Elbe, just having been shot at, take an oath that they personally would do everything they could to ensure that there would never be another war. Polowsky became a peace activist all through the Cold War. I have not found a reasonable online reference source on him to cite (even the Wikipedia article on him is rather sparse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Polowsky). Many of those American and Soviet veterans continued to meet *even during the height of the Cold War* on the April 25th anniversary making VERY strong personal statements AGAINST war. Sorry for not having an easily-accessible online source to cite, but a book I strongly recommend is Yanks Meet Reds, Recollections of U.S. and Soviet Vets from the Linkup in World War II, ed. Mark Scott and Seymon Krasilschik (Santa Barbara, CA: Capra Press, 1988). It contains many recollections that of these men (and, in the case of some Red Army paramedics present, women)– who, though absolute bad-asses when they had to be—nevertheless had an unending commitment to peace.
Ummmmm…that’s Malala Yousafzai. A Muslim woman AND a feminist. That photo means a lot because it directly contradicts your claim that Islam and feminism are incompatible.
@Ariblester:
Shallots! Hee hee hee! Going to have to add some of those to my garden, perhaps.
I’m still wondering about a question/hypothesis I formed about the onions: ‘What happens to a troll when you teach it to feed itself?’ Do they become a regular person? Do they leave you alone? Do they implode? Do they evolve into white supremacists? Or do they ignore suggestions to improve their lives and keep on trollin’? I suspect the last option, but unfortunately that particular one seems to have disappeared, so I may never know. I’ll have to figure out a way to further this study.
I get the impression that David Henderson doesn’t know who the ‘women in the HIJAB’ is.

Hey there. White lady here just entering my 30s with as of yet no intention of having any children, nor does my white fiance.
My Iranian neighbors meanwhile are on their 4th child, Venezuelan just had their 2nd healthy baby in a year, and my Jewish friends are expecting their first of many they hope to have.
I hope this information has made your little racist head steam. Have a nice day.
Funny how I actually gave Henderson something to discuss with my mention of Saudi Arabia versus Malaysia, and my mention of Iran having a dropping birth rate. But all he could do was respond with the word cuck.
Given the amount of Syrian refugees we’ve taken in here in Canada in the last couple of years I wonder how long it will be before we hear nonsense tales from the right of the sexual assault rate rising dramatically.
@David Henderson
See how I just responded to you by name?
You see your first comment?
See how it characterizes the concerns about local misogyny as a “fetish” and “love of muslim patriarchy”? You got eyes, you know the people here are concerned about these issues broadly. Stop playing hypocritical rhetorical games if you wish to be taken seriously. As it is you can be dismissed with reason.
Meet Linda Sarsour.

She was one of the main movers behind the Women’s March on Washington that happened after Trump’s inauguration.
A feminist and a Muslim–Fox News fucking hates her.
