See now the logical part of me agrees with this and I can see how maybe white women don't have the best of intentions 99.9% of the time. But as one of those women who WW claim to speak for I honestly just don't care about where they're coming from anymore, if anything in a really weird way it's sort of comforting to know there are people out there who hate them just as much as we do even though I know it's not for the right reasons but sometimes it feels like they're the only ones fully on our side since they're the only ones who hate on them without making them out to be some sort of mind controlled victims who do what they do to us

unwillingly. I can't help but want them to get a taste of their medicine and experience just half the fear and unjustice we do. For some reason I've noticed a lot of people in the west expressing their sympathy for native MOC and maybe it's easier for you guys to sympathise with them since this is all so far away from you you may even think it's just racist propaganda, especially since you only ever get to hear from immigrant woc who lived in the west their whole lives and long for the romanticised version they have of their home countries in their heads and rarely from native women who were raised and live in these countries and know them veeery well. It's actually much worse than you think and the men here are much worse than you think, it would be an insult to pigs to call them pigs. It's so bad it's not just the middle east anymore. The number of men who are subscribing to *THAT* type of extreme ideologies has risen sooo much and it's only continuing to rise. In my country I can't even go outside without seeing hundreds of both men and women wearing *THOSE* type of clothes when just half a year ago everyone dressed regularly and people who'd dress modestly would wear our reasonable cultural clothes and you'd see *those* women maybe once or twice a month. It's terrifying to think that a day might come where I'll lose my right to breathe outside and it's hurtful to see such a overwhelmingly big number of men who want nothing more than exactly that.

Also just to clear things up I know what OP is trying to say I'm not misunderstanding on purpose I got off track because I thought this would be a good opportunity to voice my opinion and give my perspective as a native girl from this side of the world since there's so little of us in international online places and like I said people only ever get the perspectives of the ones who live in the west or the native ones who are brainwashed so much so the popular belief has become that we don't want anyone to advocate for us or that we want this. There's already so many people prioritizing them over us because of reasons they think are "correct", we'd rather you not do the same thing but with other reasons that you think are "correct".

Because technically you are correct, moc in *those* countries don't deserve racism. The same way it'd be technically correct for me to say that American men don't deserve to live in a fascist country. I don't disagree with either of these statements and I'm in full support of them. But both are two truths that are very unnecessary and very tone deaf to state when there are girls losing their right to education and women being used as incubators months after being dead. I wish that the same way it's unacceptable to sympathise with other oppressors, it was unacceptable to sympathise with men as well.

Nobody is getting murdered or imprisoned, that's only happening in the west and a small number of countries going through wars which is quite different. They're actually living quite comfortably while making girls lives a living hell and even getting rewarded for it.

Also our men aren't in liberal spaces on the internet, it's only us. So when you say these things you aren't doing anything but kicking women who are already down and making them feel even more alone. You're speaking over us too, and in the worst way possible since what you say unintentionally implies that this is somewhat acceptable. Don't be careless with what you say regarding the topic of non-western women and don't get even the smallest bit of comfortable with extreme misogyny just because you're safe from it. We're real girls with real fears and the last thing we want is for you to sympathise with our oppressors. Please and thank you <3

Not sure if it’s a coined term yet, but white women in the west have this colonial feminism where any perceived lack of autonomy stripped from women by a non-white man justifies these men getting murdered, incarcerated, and imprisoned. It’s crazy the amount of Cavemen Becky’s coming out of the woodwork about shit that is happening in the Middle East towards women while pretending to speak for those women. Modern day Eliza Frazer’s.
