Heh, we've traded-in the yellow jumper for a pink cardigan. Fluttershy's doomed to knitwear. XD
I wonder if that's supposed to be poison joke she's holding. |

Hooray for repressed feminism! Its ok Fluttershy will not mind, because her husband will not let her speak about it anyways! |

There's no need to jump to headscarves being irreconcilable with a liberated female identity, when you do that you just promote the idea of culture clash and disempower those women from different cultures who are trying to appropriate the fashion of their people and turn it into a modern, positive statement.
In short expecting women to stop wanting to dress as women do in their culture is a mistake, rather it's better to shift the underlying ground so that dressing a certain way is no longer seen as inherently tied with female oppression. Fluttershy would be just about a perfect example of someone who is merely inherently and personally introverted and humble and chooses to dress this way for her own reasons. |

Islam: short for, "I slam my wife into the ground and kick in her teeth for showing her Goddamn ankles." |

I think some of y'all may have jumped off the "love and tolerance" train. And before you start citing sources you saw on the internet, or on the news, think about things this way: What if the only opinion the rest of the world had of us came from watching Jerry Springer and Dr. Phil? They'd think we were NUTS! Applying what you see in the media to an entire culture is steryotyping in it's worst form. |

^Of course, not every muslim is an extremist or radical, most are normal adjusted people, but that's not the issue here for me at least. When you study enough of the Islamic religion you find it has far more negative baggage in its teachings and cultural influences than you would expect, all of which in turn, ultimately make it reprehensible in my eyes at least. You can dislike the faith and some of its cultural practices for perfectly valid reasons without hating the people. The artist behind this is probably a "normal" and well adjusted person, but criticism of the faith and choice to impose it on the character still stands. |

@501: Headscarves *are* irreconcilable with a liberated female identity. It's not a "fashion of their people", and it's not just the way women dress in their culture, it's a sexist religious commandment that's part of a larger culture of female inferiority. |

| ParadiseSweater #487763 10 months ago |
Headscarves are worn for many reasons. In Egypt, it's mostly for fashion reasons. For many women, it's because they don't want to be sexualized by every person they pass. I think you should get like Twilight Sparkle and do some reading. Intelligence is a big part of love and tolerance. |
| Anonymous #487896 10 months ago |
Fine, then it's a fashion that can't be detached from its inherently misogynistic origins. And men sexualize every woman they walk past unless she's covering up her hair and neck? Come back and start living on planet Earth please. That's insulting to men, and my intelligence.
p.s. @478: Islam's not a race, kthxbai. |

Speaking as a feminist on behalf of Muslim women who wear Hijab is really-short sighted and ignorant. I would invite those of you doing that to check your privilege and step aside and let these women speak for themselves because they are perfectly capable of doing so and have proven that. If she were wearing a burqua the dissent might hold some weight, but as far as I'm concerned, Muslim!Fluttershy is a non-issue and represents the inclusiveness that I love about this fandom. |

If they've been indoctrinated into their culture's backward-ass attitude so thoroughly that they've internalized it then no, I don't think they're capable of speaking for themselves. They'll just be apologizing for the indefensible. Of course, it may be entirely too late for them already in that case. Hopefully the next generation will be luckier. The fewer women who have to grow up under that barbaric culture, the better. |

Hi. White Muslim female from the American South here. Normally I do my utmost to be loving and tolerant even when people are ignorant, but some of these comments are just intolerable. There is nothing sexist about Islam, only about some of the assholes who claim to practice it and subsequently give it a bad name by picking and choosing which rules they want to follow. There are a lot of religious people that do that, not just Muslims, in case you didn't notice. And "hijab" just means acceptable dress and mannerisms, for men AND women -- a lot of women wear a headscarf, and a lot of them don't. The rule is generally "Don't be a slut". Just because certain countries under Islamic rule require hijab doesn't mean it's waajib.
So...fuck you. Go read a book. Preferably the Quran. If you're literate, that is. |

Quoted from that article because it sounds like she was directly speaking to bronies:
"I don’t mind you wearing anything you want to. I also accept the fact you don’t the like hijab. I accept your choice and I expect you to show me a similar level of tolerance, especially when tolerance is what you are ranting about all day long." |
| Anonymous #803020 7 months ago |
After reading all the comments above, I'll say you some of guys have no love & tolerance and doesn't deserve to become a brony for being prejudice towards others with different view and perspective. Mind your own bullshit please & adore this picture. What the hell is wrong with you people, a simple stuff like this can turn into shitstorm, I cant believe there are soo many idiots and ignorant assholes in this world. |

Saying Islam is inherently sexist is like saying uneducated Tough Guys on the Internet from some backwoods asscrack are inherently racist because of stuff they heard from their cousin in the military or saying (aforementioned) bronies are inherently gay. Just sayin' |
| Anonymous #1024028 5 months ago |
Of course, some people are bronies just because they're closeted freaks and don't really buy into the whole "love and tolerance, ponies are for everypony, ignore gender and marketing stereotypes" angle. |

@1024017: Saying Islam is inherently sexist is like saying you've read the Quran. Women must obey men, a man may have multiple wives but a woman may not have multiple husbands, a woman may not lead prayers or teach, it's okay for a man to beat his wives, etc. All right there in the book.
It doesn't matter why each individual woman wears Hijab, what matters is why it was created. It was created because men in that society are not expected to have self-control or to treat women decently. If you walk around uncovered, why, you're just asking to be leered at, or groped, or raped. And really, your beauty is your husband's property so you shouldn't go around sharing it with other men because that dishonors you both. As long as you wear it, even if it's by choice, you're not free. You may not be submitting to some law, or to any one man, but you're submitting to an idea. A disgusting idea. |
