Halaal harassment

Sexual harassment is endemic in the Muslim world.

Hijab propagates the evil lie that women are responsible for the behaviour of men. It thereby gives men license to rape; the logic being, if the woman were truly modest, men would not feel tempted.#IslamicMisogyny #RapeCulture

When I was in Pakistan in the early 90s, I was asked a few times to accompany my older, female cousin for brief grocery shopping trips. The poor girl needed "help" in carrying all the stuff. I was the gallant muscle. That was confusing because the food would usually fit in two bags. She could've easily lifted them.

I was a fool. Now, I know better.
