Dear Muslima;
There's a woman here in the Western world who seems to have gotten some people upset over an incident with a young man in an elevator. Afterwards, she made a vlog post that basically said, "um, guys--I find this particular behavior a little creepy and unsettling, given the specific circumstances. Try not to do this sort of thing, could you?"
I've decided to use the life experiences you've had as a Third-World Muslim woman as a weapon with which to deride and belittle this uppity Western woman. I think of the things you endure, Muslima--things like your head-to-toe body covering, your lack of freedom, the denial of your education, the rapes and the honor killings of your sisters and daughters, your forced marriage and your capricious, male-only divorce laws, the fact that your children are the sole property of your husband--as weapons I can use in an effort to silence another woman, whose complaint I find petty and unacceptable.
It should be obvious that because other women in the world have a more difficult time with equal rights and equal treatment, this spoiled Western woman should just shut up and deal. I'm sure you won't mind your pain and your own struggle for equality being used in this ironic manner. Not, of course, that I plan to ask you.
All the best,
Dick
