“The trope of the oppressed Muslim woman was readily identifiable in a recent controversy involving renowned evolutionary biologist and spokesperson for the atheist movement, Richard Dawkins and feminist atheist blogger, Rebecca Watson, author of the Skepchick blog. 

Now dubbed ‘elevatorgate’, the controversy erupted over an incident which took place at an atheist conference in Dublin, Ireland, which Watson describes in her video blog. As Watson relates, at four o’clock in the morning after postconference drinks at a hotel bar, she took the elevator to go back to her room, during which time she was sexually propositioned by a fellow (male) conference attendee. This, for Watson, demonstrated the point she had made earlier in her conference panel that sexualisation of women by men in the atheist community is a problem as a form of unacknowledged sexism. She also implied that being trapped in a confined space (an elevator) by a drunken delegate making sexual overtures placed her in an uncomfortable zone of sexual vulnerability. Watson was clearly using this incident as an illustration of her argument that male-dominated institutions such as the atheist movement tend to reproduce unequal gender relations through placing value on female members’ sexual, rather than intellectual, capacities. This video blog, in which she advises men not to behave in this manner (as Watson herself put it: ‘Guys, don’t do that,’) sparked an internet war notable for Richard Dawkins’s infamous response in a facetious letter written to a fictitious character called ‘Muslima’. We reproduce the Dawkins letter in full, as it appears on Watson’s blog, here: 

Dear Muslima

Stop whining, will you. Yes, yes, I know you had your genitals mutilated with a razor blade, and ... yawn ... don’t tell me yet again, I know you aren’t allowed to drive a car, and you can’t leave the house without a male relative, and your husband is allowed to beat you, and you’ll be stoned to death if you commit adultery. But stop whining, will you. Think of the suffering your poor American sisters have to put up with. Only this week I heard of one, she calls herself Skep“chick”, and do you know what happened to her? A man in a hotel elevator invited her back to his room for coffee. I am not exaggerating. He really did. He invited her back to his room for coffee. Of course she said no, and of course he didn’t lay a finger on her, but even so ... And you, Muslima, think you have misogyny to complain about! For goodness sake grow up, or at least grow a thicker skin.

Richard.

In an astonishing rhetorical feat, Dawkins’ figuration of ‘the Muslim woman’ manages to construct more than one ‘other’ against which rational (white) man defines himself; it is illustrative of Orientalist stereotyping which homogenises Muslim women’s experiences and it produces the unsavoury character of the ‘whining’ Western feminist. This characterisation is consistent with neoliberal ‘postfeminist’ assumptions that Western feminists are anachronistic because gender equality has already been achieved. Dawkins presents a liberal conception of ‘freedom’ – what this volume calls a ‘freedom fallacy’ – embedded in colonial discourse that produces the Muslim woman’s body as the inscriptive surface of degeneracy, to refocus our attention on the ways in which white, Western female bodies inhabit (or indeed abuse) freedoms made available to them through the passage of secular time. 

Muslim women are viewed as needing feminism more than Western women and serve as convenient Dawkins-style tropes for the deflection of feminist criticism. The ‘mutilated’ Muslim body in particular is an especially arresting image against which the legitimate concerns of non-Muslim feminists can be disregarded as the complaints of ‘killjoys’. In the rhetoric of the ‘elevatorgate’ persuasion, the feminist killjoy is dismissed as irrational and annoying for failing to agree to the happy state of gender relations in the West.”

“Muslim women are accused not only of potentially concealing weapons under their garments, but of also harbouring a yet more sinister weapon within their bodies – their wombs. Reproductive rights in the form of safe access to contraception and abortion have played a central role in feminist campaigns. However, ‘appropriate’ reproduction (variously defined) also serves the interests of neoliberal economics and demographic politics, and has led to the ‘othering’ of women whose bodies are seen as reproducing too often and too early (or, on the other hand, too infrequently and too late). Muslim women are regarded as prime offenders in this form of reproductive transgression. Muslim communities in the West, particularly in Europe, have been represented as a demographic threat to the ‘native population’, with projected demographics or pseudo-demographics forecasting a ‘Muslim takeover’ through sheer force of numbers rather than arms. Despite having been widely debunked, alarmist forecasts continue to circulate through both mainstream and social media of non-Muslim Europeans reduced to a struggling minority as the countries of their citizenship and ancestral heritage are overwhelmed by a booming Muslim population. Muslim women are not only transmitters of a dangerous ideology, but also repulsive breeders of the enemy horde.”

I know it’s pretty common in fanart (which are gorgeous and I’m not dunking on it at all) but I am actually so grateful and happy that they didn’t make annabeth’s braids even remotely blonde. like they could have very easily added in blonde hair, or dyed the ends blonde when she got her hair braided for the show, and it would have looked great and been a nod to the book annabeth. but they didn’t. they made it black. her braids are black. she is a black girl playing a fierce, proud, determined character. and no part of her appearance needed to change in order to show that.

#everyone give it up for little leah! YOU ARW KILLING IT! #you got ananebth’s entire essence exactly right. #annabeth chase #pjo tv show #percy jackson
