The fil Zero Dark Thirty s now showing in theaters nationwide and reactions are starting to appear on social networks. Here are some collected on the tumblr site dapsandhugs:
While the film has obviously found its supporters, backlash against i continues to grow. Yesterday, director Kathryn Bigelow defended her film from charges it promotes torture in an Op-Ed for th Los Angeles Times Bigelow claimed artistic license writing, "those of us who work in the arts know that depiction is not endorsement." While this is obviously true, the film goes further than depiction. As Deepa Kumar wrote he film promotes extra judicial killing and the drone warfare that has become the hallmark of the Obama administration's "war on terror."

This conversation is about the women who have had, indeed, the good luck to be born into a family and a country that does not enforce hijab/niqab/burqa. Frankly, the fact that people like you have a self-righteous, knee-jerk "BUT I R NOT OPPRESSED!" reaction whenever someone deigns to talk about them, given that their plight - being victimized day in and day out by being forced to wear a burqa or a niqab - is far more important than your own - people looking down on head-coverings because of the aforementioned millions upon millions of women - is very telling. People like you, the lucky ones, always want to make make the conversation about you, derailing the original discussion, as if your good luck somehow negates the suffering of millions. Compared to those women and their experiences, you and yours are completely irrelevant. Fuck off indeed.
reading comprehension, get some.
its not about me. its about the millions of women who have made the choice themselves. ur original comment lumped everyone - even those who made their own choice, bc hello they were brainwashed since childhood u know - under one umbrella
