Thank you for taking the time to read my article and comment, even while it must have pained you to do so.

You seem to have missed a few points but fret not, I'll elaborate:

You called this article religious bigotry but my points are very secular.

My religion empowers believers and tells us to treat others with kindness, even if they hold different viewpoints.

I am a woman myself and to see my sisters being pulled into this delusion pains me, so I spoke up. I didn't talk much about Red Pill because feminism, in my eyes, is the greater delusion. But I am not blaming women, I am blaming ignorance. Feminism affects everyone included, regardless of sex.

Red Pill is feminism for men, that's how I and many others see it to be. Red Pill can lead to misogyny, just like feminism can lead to misandry.

And we are independent- what is stopping us? A man's comment? A woman's stare? Who cares? Independence is seen differently in everyone's eyes. Some say it's to stand on one's own feet and another may say something else.

I care about pleasing God more than anything else, it gives me purpose and makes me fulfilled and happy. I hope the best for you too.

The West is no longer a Patriarchal Society; certain individuals can be discriminating and sexist but that does not make society like that as a whole.

I understand why women would want to be Feminists because on the surface it sounds really empowering. If you wish to be a Feminist, carry on but I feel a duty to warn others of its delusion. If you truly look at the roots of feminism, being a feminist would be the last label you would identify yourself with.

Every time someone describes what feminism is, I get a different answer; it's whatever you want it to be called, it seems. So, why label it? Maybe for a sense of purpose. Maybe not.

Whatever it is, I truly hope the best for you, I invite you to read the Qur'an, if you have not already.

An English translation can be found on quran.com

After reading it, we can have a discussion about bigotry in Islam or the lack thereof.

Thank you again!
