Feminism is a broad range of ideologies with the same core beliefs. I do not oppose many, if not most feminist views. But to answer your question, it's because some of my views are inherently anti-feminist. Namely, abortion rights (*), sex work and LBGTQ (transgenderism is particular). My older sister holds near identical views on these, but still considers herself a feminist if you press it. Much like the silent majority of Somali women I suspect. Anyway, there are plenty of worthwhile debates and legitimate critisism regarding feminism online, so I'll move on to Somali feminism in particular.
To be blunt, what good have Somali feminists done outside of armchair activism and needless division? Imho, they're nothing more than gender FKD. Contrary to what you said about everyone advocating for women's rights being a feminist, it's just not true. Feminism is a political movement as much as it is an ideology, you can't just claim any good done for women by any man or woman as feminist. People, women included, are literally starving and dying of preventable diseases. Then you've got ''''unapologetic'''' feminists like Nimco Ali promoting to end FGM (which myself, and most others don't have issue with), but at the same time encroach on the religious and culture beliefs of Somalis by attacking things like the hijab. They literally want to export western values to Somalia. In their perfect world, Somalia will be a hyper liberal Swedish town with artificial Somali flavour. Then you want to come here and ask us how we have the audacity to trash Somali feminists, like we're biting the hand that feeds us.
Still, that's all good, but modern day feminism in all its sincere good and down right retardation did not come about overnight. But just like the people that compare Somalia to the west in other aspects, nobody wants to put the work in, but everyone wants to .
Feminism is a surefire way of destroying your culture and society in less than two generations. Case studies have proven it to be so. Just one glance is required. I don't understand how people can't see this..
Muslim women had these rights for centuries feminism is not needed anymore it has done it's purpose
Typical women behavior
Hahahhahaha let’s look at Muslim countries.
It seems like you do know the function feminism hopes to serve/ should serve in the Somali community, but what you have a problem with is Somali feminists in particular for not going after pressing problems that endanger Somalis presently?Feminism is a broad range of ideologies with the same core beliefs.

Straw man I never said these things never happen I just clarified that divorce wasnalrewas something in islam before feminism
Lets talk about intersectional feminism that can apply to the somali community so that issues faced by somali women are addressed and worked on
The funny thing is they are making fun of us because of our sex and ethnicity so they're both racist and sexist
Femnisim is a western concept it can't be applied in somalia
You are not being made fun of, we are trying to figure out your thought process and if its possible for you to not be so flat in the head. We cannot be racist to you since we are of the same race and ethnicity. And the sexism piece is pathetic on a feminist post don-t-ya-think?
Yes it can. The equality of men and women is not exclusive to the west. hahaha this is so funny even your mind is colonized.
We are already out but that won't stop us from getting others out too. :siilaanyolaugh:
How is colonized you're the one with the Western mindset not me femnisim will only lead women to misery there are even studies about that there is a reason why most women are not feminists
As there are about the devastating treatment of women around the world...?
What?
