It is our duty as feminists to protect and respect women in Hijabs

fiercefatfeminist

Now. More. Than. Ever.

Question: if I see someone pull off a Hijab, what should I do? I know there are reasons they are worn so I want to if i should stand in between them and who did this, should i protect them from view somehow, or something else? This has been happening a lot so I feel it’s something everyone needs to know.

protectnevillelongbottom

Good question! I cannot correctly and effectively answer, as I am a white, non-Muslim person; however, I will reblog in case any of my followers can answer.

inquisitivespirit

I asked my Hijabi friend, so here’s one Hijabi’s answer:

“my opinion is, definitely try cover them or give them something to cover themselves with. And perhaps shoo off the person, without putting oneself in danger! God forbid, if that happened to me, I would like someone to come and comfort me and give me something to cover my hair with and then help me report it to the cops “

(Followers, if any of you are hijabi and would like to expand on this answer or offer alternatives, please do.)

If u see it happen to 1 of us, pls cover our head + hair with a coat or shawl or any piece of cloth, while hugging us in comfort. Please don’t get hurt by lashing out @ the perpetrators in any way, coz if they dare to do that, they’re probably too far gone in their own hatred to listen to any reason. Much love + Thank You to anyone who supports us.

meanieyards

yes !! everything said here is important af. if you see someone pull off a girl’s hijab immediately cover her hair and provide comfort. don’t talk to the perpetrator but try to get the woman out of there if you can. maybe if you have a scarf on you at the time give it to her so she can wear it until she’s alone and can replace her hijab. please please protect muslim girls because we already had it hard before donald trump became president and now its gonna be worse with people going around thinking their violence and cruelty is justified

hollowedskin

for my other white ppl who might have a hard time, it’s my understanding that a hijab is like a major item of clothing, not an accessory like a hat or a scarf. so think abt it more like if someone just ripped someone’s shirt or skirt off. u don’t want to be left there exposed or have to walk home without it.

everyone, even outside America needs to protect our Muslim sisters in these times.

quadriparesis-deactivated201908

as a man, what would be the best thing to do? should i turn my head and avoid looking at their hair? can i still offer a jacket or something similar?

wear-it-like-armour-bastard

^I’m hoping someone has an answer islamaphpbia is on the rise in my town and I want to be a good male non Muslim ally

soul-angelos-deactivated2023102

For men, yes please, we would prefer it if you avoided looking at our hair, and if we don’t have something to substitute as a hijab at that moment, anything you could lend us, a jacket, etc, would be very appreciated.

Also, since most girls avoid physical contact with men they’re not related to, please do not hug them, but rather shoo the offender away if you can, or at least escort the girl to a safe place. You can still offer words of encouragement and support. Furthermore, understand that the victim may not be very welcoming towards you because she’ll obviously be shaken, and won’t know where you are coming from. If that’s the case, please still give her something to cover herself (hijab is very important, think of it as someone ripping your shirt off) and stand some distance away until you are sure she’s in safe hands.

Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it, god bless all of you.

this continues to be super important, and will always be super important!

chrispineofficial

one of the biggest things i believe to be true about relationships is that you must make it feel safe for the people you love to call you out on shit. like obviously don’t let anyone emotionally manipulate or terrorize you but in general, in healthy adult relationships, there is always a pattern of rupture/repair. someone does something (unintentionally!) that makes someone else feel not great, and it needs to be addressed. the best thing you can do to preserve and improve your interpersonal relationships is to be open to these conversations. you have to be able to hear how your words or actions have affected someone, even if it absolutely wasn’t your intention, and you have to be able to simply acknowledge and apologize. it doesn’t matter if you didn’t see it that way. someone you love did, and they care enough to tell you, and that’s a gift. be grateful for the opportunity to do better.

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas

“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

This is so cute that my friend cried when I showed it to her

pugsies

PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!

If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.

Snopes confirms.

geometricdeathtrap-deactivated2

I’ve dealt with these before. If you find one:

Do not touch it

Clear the area around it. It will explode on its own in time.

Once it explodes, do not make contact with the liquid inside. If needed, flush it away with large amounts of water.

Do not try to detonate it. You’ll probably be disfigured.

I’ve seen what these can do. The acidic liquid inside can strip the paint off a car.

xakariahthepariah-deactivated20

i found one in my back yard, when i let my dogs out, i pulled them back inside, took my cousins bb shotgun and shot it from a safe distance (i was in my house and shot from the screen door. When it went off, my family and neighbors came running to see if everything was ok. I told them what happened and to watch out for them.

These things are not a joke! When we went to check the damage there was a fucking hole in the ground. The dirt in my yard is like CLAY.

Please be aware and be careful. These can harm people, pets, property and wildlife.

If you see one, keep your distance and wait for it to go off on its own.

My brother delt with one by putting a large metal bowl over it, but that’s extremely dangerous as well.

Be safe please.

I showed this post to my boyfriend and he tried to take his shirt off like a girl and

yeah

castielsteenwolf

Out of the 82k notes my post got this is by far the best comment holy shit thank u for being u

wingscanspeak

So i tried it both ways and uh

i mean how do you do the first one without pulling out all your hair?

zorobro

this made me laugh really hard….

and it made me realize that girls and boys pull their shirt off differently. /amazed

but seriously I think girls just do the cross arm thing because of HAIR like demonstrated

wingscanspeak

So one year, one URL change, and a hair cut later, I decide to try again… FOR SCIENCE!

Its not science unless you write it down so

30secondstocalifornia

First method:

Well done, i guess…

Second:

I fucked up

Girls… how?

ohshititsmama-deactivated201812

I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN HAVE SUCH DIFFERENT WAYS OF TAKING OFF SHIRTS AND SO MUCH DIFFICULTY DOING IT THE OTHER WAY

iprayforangels-deactivated20220

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!

It’s all in the way that girl/boys shirts are made.

Girls shirts have less armpit room then boy’s do and are generally shorter so pulling it off over your head is more practical because by lifting your arms all the way up you make enough room for the sleeves to just slip off.

Boys shirts have more room and are generally longer so it is easy to slip them off over your head.

but if you take a girls shirt off like a boys shirt you will get your arms caught because there isn’t much armpit space.

and if you take a boys shirt off like a girls shit you will still have your head in it when you’ve lifted your arms all the way up because of the shirt’s length.

It has nothing to do with us. It is entirely to do with how our shirts are made. I figured it out for you. YOU’RE WELCOME!

Best part of the current ES ❤💕

That’s my man~! Ha! (ง •̀ω•́)ง✧❀.*･ﾟ✿゜:。*

He went against the greatest ninja ever born in Iga… He was able to outpace him, catch up with him~! Just as quickly as Saizo run away, Yasumasa managed to know exactly where Saizo was to block his path immediately!♡♡♡

YASUMASA, YOU ARE BEYOND AMAZING, LOTS OF LOVE FOR YOU MA BELOVED BABY BAE!!!! ♡♡♡

oh-but-what-if

Yasumasa in one of his best moments ✿

Here he shone. Without being told no, or made to look like a fool, or ignored, or held back, or pictured as thAt 0ne assh0le trait0r. A man of action using the best of his abilities on the go, from parrying blows meant for Ieyasu to successfully attacking a very skilled ninja. His quick wit enabled him to know both where his enemy would be, the route said enemy would take, which sides of him was open for attacks, and to pick just the right words to taunt this ninja who happened to be his lord's enemy.

Despite of it only being a few short scenes, this showed what could've happened if the main Tokugawa squad properly put their trust in each other, and trust their colleagues do their own thing... if they work together to create an effective plan of action where everybody contributes in the planning and in the execution, without the irritatingly ever-present communication problems! Hoo...boy, you don't want to mess with this squad.

Happy days for you, @shiranata babe, and for your beloved too! (´・ω・`) ♡

A tiny SLBP Rant

EXCUSE ME BUT DO YOU HAVE A MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR…

…PERFECTION SALAD?

I don’t know if I should tag this with “Spoiler” but I will, just in case.

All right.

This is going to be a post about a certain character in the universe of Samurai Love Ballad Party. And this post will be filled with a one-sided opinion of this certain lord.

I’m going to list several characteristics about the character in question, since I won’t name him, so if you want to play along a bit here, tell me which of the SLBP lords has these characteristics:

(1) Incredibly good looks and generally hot physique. ==> Oh yeah I know many (if not all) of them would fit in this one, but let us go on.

(2) Intelligence that is noticeably above average, or at least has never been described as dumb or stupid or anything the like, if not being outright described as intelligent.

(3) Has deep knowledge, both theoretical and practical, in vastly different fields of life including some things not commonly studied by most.

(4) Incredibly good at compartmentalizing, making it like a second nature, nearly without failing unless under extreme (and I mean EXTREME) circumstances.

(5) Has no problem either getting something done entirely on his own or delegating it to others, has never suffered from the lack of ability to delegate tasks when necessary.

(6) Is seen as decidedly above others not because of his birthright (as per dictated by the laws and customs of that era) but earned said status through displays of jawdropping skills/merit.

(7) Said set of skills really ARE jawdropping, ranging from things that are expected of people in their profession to things that are unexpected or perhaps even close to unbelievable; is also repeatedly said to be particularly impressive at using his skil set.

(8) Has the eloquence of a natural-born wordsmith, nearly always get to say the last word unless he decides to be ‘merciful’ and not use the other’s dumbness (or lack of eloquence) to his advantage, all while repeatedly managed to make one or more person feel incredibly dumb in the process anyway.

(9) A master of sass.

(10) Physically both VERY agile and VERY strong. Never once failing to show either or both in any occasion where he is required to show one or both of these skills (sometimes even when he is NOT required to show one or both of these).

(11) Actually INCREDIBLY strong that his strength is apparently on par with one of a well-known (and well-feared) berserker who undergoes rigorous training regiment every-single-day… —> As in strong enough to stop the other’s sword with his own, barely breaking any sweat.

(12) Yet has never been shown to go through the same sort of training himself. And also despite of his job requiring him to be super light instead of well-packed with muscles to have such strength.

(13) Is said to be irresistibly charming on top of being blessed with considerably good looks.

(14) Has also been described as being particularly good at sex and romance.

(15) Is calm, composed, collected at all times, super-chill, never a subject to his own emotions (both good and bad emotions), unless under EXTREME circumstances and the amount of such circumstances happening in his life can be counted in one hand.

(16) Has been described to have the fate of a whole clan resting in his hands, despite of him not being from said clan and has no affiliation to it apart from being the… 'mentor’ of just ONE person among them.

(17) Knows magic (!!) on top of fighting skills for both close and long range weapon(s) + battle strategies + knowledge of plants and medicine + literary skills + deep understanding of female noblewoman mannerisms and etiquettes + etc. So yes, MAGIC.

(18) Has literally NO side effect from said magic himself.

(19) Is apparently a favorite of many people, both NPCs and real human players alike. Because after all he has no flaws to speak of.

(20) Saves the day…all the time. ALL THE TIME.

(21) Has ANGST in his background story like any supposedly 'balanced’ character would.

Well, I reckon there are more, but these are what I got from reading his main story and several events that included him.

Okay, do you know who this particular character is yet? A difficult question, I know. I mean, if you don’t know who he is, or if he’s far too mysterious for us mere mortals to even venture a guess as to who he is, here’s a little bit of a clue:

It’s the Sengoku lord equivalent of a MARY SUE :’)

Rant end.

No tagging because I don’t want to drag anybody into this. Purely my personal opinion.

oh-but-what-if

HAIRPIN

[SLBP TORAMATSU]

H A I R P I N

He knew whom Ieyasu will give the precious hairpin to.

Quiet as he had always been as one of the younger retainers, Toramatsu wasn’t a fool. He had spent most of his idle time in Hamamatsu studying the look on people’s faces to make sure he wouldn’t get in trouble when he could help it. It worked wonderfully, more times than he could count. So of course, he’d been studying Ieyasu’s face too.

Then one day he saw it.

Something different happened. When Ieyasu’s commissioned hairpin was finished, Toramatsu saw it. He had never seen that look on Ieyasu’s face, and just one glance was more than enough to prove that his dreaded worries were true.He felt his shoulders slumped.

He wouldn’t have described anything else in Ieyasu’s attitude as kind, or anything close to it, but that look.

That look.

The usually closed-off, judgmental, mocking gaze turned tender at the mere thought of her. The mouth that was normally used to make fun of some unfortunate retainer was curled into a smile. And the hands that dabbled in both potions and poisons nearly every day…

Those hands were holding the hairpin like the precious item that it was, while his finger brushed against the shimmery finish almost like he himself was the one painting it gold.

No, it was all too clear what Ieyasu was feeling.

All Toramatsu could do at the moment was…turn his face away. Turn it away so nobody would make fun of him, and his emotions, and his wishes, and the silly idea of him liking the same woman as their leader…

…so he could avoid thinking of what she would’ve said to Ieyasu with all the sweetness that was in her words, avoid thinking of how she would’ve looked at Ieyasu with all the admiration in the world as he gave it to him, even with whatever flippant excuses he would’ve given.

Toramatsu sighed, far too quietly for anybody to hear.

He busied himself so much then, found every single job to be a blessed distraction to delay what he would have seen anyway. He moved from room to room as he went on with his daily tasks and more, made sure he wouldn’t have time to ponder about thoughts that would only put even more weight on his small shoulders.

But then he saw her when he walked past the kitchen, and he couldn’t help but to lift his face and look at her, gaze at her. Her face was as pretty as ever, as pretty as the first time he saw her. Oh, no…not quite. Her sunny smile looked even more radiant to him today. Her movement was as light as air, her voice twinkling like a wind chime, her skin seemed to glow under the plain hakama she had on. Always so pretty, and oh, she looked happy. Even his normally calm, serious expression almost melted into a smile-

-until he saw the hairpin.

It was there, adorning her hair. The same one he saw Ieyasu held between his fingers just a few moments ago. It’s delicate tail hung gracefully down against her silky locks now.

“Lord Ieyasu said that he found it on the road back to the castle…and had no use for it, so he gave it to me.”

Toramatsu stared at her, his poker face admirably still.

So that was the excuse this time. The hairpin was something Ieyasu just ‘found’, apparently, something useless he couldn’t care less to throw away. But no, the young man saw his lord ordered the hairpin with a precise instruction on how it must be done, what shape it must take, and how much care must be put into making it if the craftsman valued his life. Ieyasu wanted it to be a custom-made item polished with gold.

And before he knew it, he blurted it out.

“No, it…wasn’t something he found. We didn’t find anything like that hairpin on the road back to the castle-”

…Stupid.

His eyes wavered, yet it was too slight for her to notice.

He just had to say it, didn’t he. Of course she was incredibly happy to hear it, and at the same time his heart slowly sunk at his own indescribable stupidity. Sunk in the face of happiness she had inevitably showed. Her smile bloomed into an overjoyed grin that she tried – and failed – to hide behind her sleeves. Her cheeks grew pinkish at the thought. Her eyes shone with both disbelief and gratitude.

None of those was for him.

The moments passed and she went out of the kitchen with springs in her steps and daifuku in her hands. She’d meet Ieyasu to express her gratitude of the gift.

Meanwhile, he would be left alone, as always.

Toramatsu kept his face straight though he was gazing at the empty kitchen long after she was gone. It was so quiet around him, as if he truly was left alone in a deserted castle in the middle of nowhere. Quiet enough for him to hear the sighs of his own disheartened soul.

Ah…

He finally managed to turn his gaze away from the floorboard to his own feet, and slowly his face also mimicked the growing restlessness inside of him. He closed his eyes then, rested his head against a nearby pillar.

No.

It couldn’t very well be the end, could it?

One day…one day he would tell her what he truly feels. One day he would present it before her, before Ieyasu, before his own self. He would lay it bare. He would let it be known. His feelings, his wishes, his affection to her. Then he will know whether or not he had any chances to begin with. Or whether he was meant to love her at all.

One day.

B L A M E

It was all because of her. Because of that good for nothing little usurper.

The sharp green eyes glared hard at the sight of his lord walking out of the gates, along with who must’ve been his most trusted retainers. His strongest warriors. And he was not among them. There was their prized berserker, of course, and the bald-headed, soft-hearted fool who had almost outlived his usefulness. Tadakatsu and Tadatsugu.

But not him.

He was told to stay. He was given the order to guard the castle…which, at the moment, were filled only with people whose death wouldnt even be missed anyway.

Why?

He was deemed less important than the well-known freak and the one standing at death’s door. They only saw him as someone fit for guarding the weaklings. Why? Why would they see him so? Had he not proven his worth? Had he not shown his skills in battle? Had he not helped bring victory and fame to the Hollyhock banners?

Why, then?

He clenched his fists, making a conscious effort at concealing his anger. No. He knew why. It was her. All of this happened because of the useless little parasite who had decided to plant herself amongst the distinguished retainers of the Tokugawa. This unnecessary new addition to the castle, whose sole function was to rot in the kitchen.

Who else was there to blame?

Nobody, other than perhaps his comrade. He turned to glare at the annoying little Toramatsu, who didn’t seem to mind at all being among the ones left behind. Being among the weak, the lame, the pitiful. How insufferable! They were stuck in the castle, doing nothing apart from wasting their skills and strength and experience. Guarding people who weren’t event worth guarding. And he was stuck with this pair of sickeningly enamored lovebirds.

Damn…

He swept his golden blond hair off of the side of his eye in frustration, crossed his arms, glanced once more to the spot where the army stood before they marched on. The army had left. They were gone. Something other than anger grew in him, slowly, quietly…something that burned like a droplet of molten lead. Something that made him swallow harder, made him clench his jaws, made him stare longer at the now closed gates.

They had turned their back on him, hadn’t they?

Even Ieyasu turned his back on him…

Why…
