More on the affair of the burqa. Brownfemi responds(some images of questionable work safety) The Thin Black Duke clarifies. Bitch|lab also speechifies, although I am unsure that the poor wear plain gunny sacks anymore. Not to mention, in our black churches, we have the patriarchy personified.(I'm not the only one who notices it) We all have to hear about how the man is the head of the woman, and usually only men get to do the really good church offices, even though women are the majority. And as for Mormon women, they get all sorts of sexism. Just because you're complicit with oppression doesn't make the oppression OK. Otherwise, Juan Williams would be acceptable, or even worse, Stanley Crouch!

Also, Happy Feminist apologizes at length. A bit on my comics blog about sexy burqas in comics.

Also, here's a one question will feminism be destroyed if we snark about it/question it/etc test. Does it have a billion dollar industry and millions in advertising devoted to it? Ok, two questions: Do magazines, TV shows and newspapers with millions in circulation all tout it as the hot new trend which we are inadequate if we don't do it? If the answer is yes, well, feminism will do just fine if we criticize/snark/whatever it.
