And that "cultural difference" means to oppress yourself to Please Them!

I always knew Feminists were full of Crap!

And No, the feminists of 100 years ago of the Women Vote Movement would be no different. They would be the first in line hoping to get the nice Scarlet Burka! >:(

She needs her clitoris removed with an unwashed rusty razor that was just used on 50 little girls. All in the name of respecting cultural differences, of course.

require the competitors to wear hijabs / respect of “cultural differences.”

These people are confused. If they wanted to respect cultural differences there would be no requirement to wear hijabs

Lesser collectives submit to the greatest anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective in the history of civilization.

Susan is a simpleton, for an intelligent woman. One need not participate in a cultural activity in order to respect it.

This the waging of war via esthetics. The chess community must know that winning the game is accomplished by thinking for yourself. NO self respecting chess player would allow the monopolization of the game milieu. No one is going to play to their best with a gun at their head. Someone needs to approach the tournament table and kick the game board into the audience.

“Real men don’t want Nazi to cover up.”

Real men don’t Moslem. No asses in the air, bleating about submission.

Real men don’t do that. They don’t saw the heads off of children or beat their women either.

Those are the ones who want Nazi to cover up. As cute as she is, it’s short-hand for how messed up they are.
