Exactly! The last 15 seconds where she talked about how the Burqa forced people to see her brain without being distracted by her physical appearance. It was a contrary but valid perspective on something that most people see as oppressive. I think people have an exaggerated image about Muslim women, Rferraris comment was a perfect example.
No I think what you heard is what you wanted to hear.
There are plenty of women all around me that run businesses, have families, are Veterinarians, lawyers. To name a few. They are very powerful. Very beautiful. Physically and as people.
They don't need to hide their faces to be taken seriously. It's insulting to suggest that is what a women should need to do in order to be taken seriously. Only an asshole would sit there salivating instead if hearing another person. To me it's the costume you put on that makes you play the part. If you really want to be brave, undress and then speak your mind.
I'm going to dress so that you can't see me. I'm curious if I'm able to articulate the point. And I doubt you'll understand it, but here goes. If you lived in a culture where there is mutual respect then when a person spoke regardless if they were a man or women you might be inclined to take them seriously. And you might not be so erect because of how unusual it is for a women to stand up for herself. If you even thought to repeat yourself to the women around me you get your ass kicked. I'd probably be the one to do it.
See where your thread was misguided from the start. You had to get here to see.
I think in her circumstance she is brave.
That by itself does very little for me. I respect that it makes your day.
I wound suggest you learn that for other cultures taking women seriously is a given. Or I expect you will learn the hard way.
