Reading the replies, do people think all Muslim countries are one and the same?
The historical accuracy criticism is valid but following with fox-news-style rhetoric "all brown people are religious fanatics" is disingenuous.
Look at Tunis. Since foreign states (fuck France) are not invading them annually, they were able to protest and progress. More than 55% of people in Higher Education are young women over there as a result.
Wikipedia article Women in Tunisia has a section on education including the progress and the current problems they face if anyone wants to read.
Edit : Highly suggest other sections too, article is written great. They go over current inequality in employment and marriage, and also progress in other topics.
![[citation needed][5] In 1959, women were able to access birth control. In 1965 a law was passed that allowed women to have abortions as part of a population control policy. [8] Abortion on request was legalized in October 1973.[9]](https://thelemmy.club/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F8f3ab35f-ec5e-4b2c-b52b-9d35791f5c7b.jpeg)
This is my favorite part so far.
Yeah, "Fatima probably didn't exist" is one thing, "It's only a university if it's White and Christian before the 19th century" is a whole nother ball of wax.
i mean, people generalize shit into monoliths. when it comes to politics, unless you're pulling out an opinion poll every godsdamned religion gets mashed down into its own little box and there is no variation within it so help me whatever god it's worshiping.
