of-praxis: deliciouskaek: dumbthingswhitepplsay: oppressedbrowngirlsdoingthings: Yes, because white feminists need you to take off that oppression headscarf you wear. It’s not a hijab, it’s an OHFMM. Oppression headgear for Muslim Men. reblogged for the commentary cause wtf Why doesn’t anyone ask nuns to remove their habits… UghHHHHHHHHH this advertisement is to suggest that the ‘real you’ is the hijabi, its about discrimination against muslims (although its poorly done) it’s really poorly done, look how many people on tumblr interpreted it ‘incorrectly’ or read what they wanted to read into it.
