Exactly this. You can’t gumeysi 50% of the society which we do under the pretext of Islam.
Honestly, the average Muslim woman wouldn’t be inclined to feminism or feminist speaking points, if they were actually treated with dignity in Muslim majority countries. We can’t beat around the bush and silence a group of people that make up more than 50% and try to gaslight them into accepting treatments that go against the deen and then make statements like ‘Islam treats women with respect!’ When in some Eastern countries women aren’t even respected enough to not be forced to marry, don’t have laws to protect them from male abuse, limited access to education and in places like the subcontinent, rampant femicide. Anyone that questions the worrying cultural attitudes to women is branded as ‘Western’ or ‘Feminist’ despite the majority of the practices being Anti Islam.
As long as the western woman lives a ‘better’ life and that is all a Muslim woman can compare to feminism will be alluring.
True, but its also more than that. Never in history have we had more literate women. Pre-1950s, the average Muslim woman like the rest of society was unable to read and many of the information that a woman had access to, even with regards to Islam was through the men of the household. Now, we live in a world where women can read the texts of scholars with regards to their Islamic rights, think critically and have more free time to take in and observe the hypocrisy and mistreatment. Arguments that soley benefit men at the expense of women aren't arguments women of this generation who have more access to knowledge and critical thinking are going to accept.
This is the dilemma of Muslims. If they truly want to rid of feminism, they need to rid themselves of rampant sexism and selfishness that is pushing more and more women away.
