I am not sure if this is an orientalist/racist comment (no women in streets because it is the Middle East/they are Arabs) or a super based one (it is the stronghold of the more religious/jihadist groups).
I consider myself liberal, but online liberals love to jump to conclusions to find fault and assume the worst in other people’s comments, then accuse them of being one thing or another. It’s like a reflex, it just happens uncontrollably.
“Oh, you like Downton Abby? Obviously you’re down with British colonialism and the oppression of third world countries.” Or “You liked Alien Romulus? Is that because you enjoy nonconsensual penetration and forced pregnancies?” Or whatever the hell the topic at hand is.
It’s like a game of virtue-signaling one-upmanship to show, “Look how much better I am than you. I care about this thing you hadn’t ever considered before.”
You liked Alien Romulus? Is that because you enjoy nonconsensual penetration and forced pregnancies?
Yes, this sounds like a real thing that people totally say. Because there’s so much alienophobia and an ongoing genocide against aliens. I’m sorry you’re suffering so badly from this legitimate problem. You are the real victim. smh.
There’s not a single woman if you take a look at the video and the photos in the article. The comment is based.
The question isn’t whether there’s women. It’s why there’s no women. The wrong answer is some kind of racist islamophobia. The right answer is recognizing that islamofascism and ziofascism are close allies with virtually the same goals.
Here’s a search of (non-fascist) celebrations in syria. Plenty of women.
That’s a good approach. I tried to search for celebrations in 2024 to make it recent, because those things can change, but I didn’t get enough relevant pictures to decide (most celebrations with obvious women were indoors). There would surely be other ways to find out what is the current women rghts situation in Syria (and it could also differ regionally, I expect). I won’t be able to go down that rabbit hole today, though. If you happen to have more information, be sure to share, I’m genuinely interested.
