Feminism is broken

[who?]

The western woman dresses like that because she would get in trouble for being naked which is the ultimate in comfort and freedom of movement.

There are feminists who think that all men should be exterminated, that women suffer more than men in war, or that males being raped in prison is funny. The typical feminist defense is to claim that these people are "not feminists". It's the No True Scotsman fallacy of course.

99.9% of feminists just want to go through their day to day life without getting their asses patted or getting wolf whistled. Or being able to go for drinks after work like their male friends without people thinking they are there to be hit open...

Yeah, you don't live in the UK then.

I think you completely missed the point of that cartoon.

For the Muslim lady, the Western lady appears to exist in a male dominated culture because she only dresses that way in order to impress men.

For the Western lady, the Muslim lady appears to exist in a male dominated culture because she only dresses that way to conform to the regulations required by her religion, and those regulations are decided upon and enforced by men.

I understood it and I believe it was created to belittle the struggles women have in either culture. The artists assumes the "god" perspective and assumes the subject are ignorant.

Neither "appear" to exist in a male dominated culture. They do exist in a male dominated culture. Each have different struggles.

Dress like a slut, get treated like a slut. Is it really that complicated? Having your tits hanging out while giving the "LOOK AT MY EYES, Not my huge tits that I am clearly presenting in an effort to attract male eyes."

I'm willing to place a huge ass bet that your average woman who complains about getting their ass patted or getting "wolf whistled" often could eliminate 99.9% of those problems by...
1. Dressing less slutty
2. Acting less slutty
3. Hanging out with other people that do not dress slutty.

Is it really that complicated? You get what you pay for in life. I'm not saying that these women need to cover up, I'm simply saying that your non-verbal speech is saying "I'm a slut! Please bang me!" while your verbal speech is "I'm not a slut! I swear!"

Just for the record: The wearing of a burka is not a requirement of the Qur'an.

And being against abortion isn't in the bible:

However a very reasonable interpretation of the Qur'an would suggest women do what it takes not to tempt a man sexually with her looks.

And the hair being her crown, etc...

That works for the 15th century.

I know a lot of strong women and many that call themselves feminist. I've never heard ass patting and wolf whistles as their top issues. Maternity leave, equal pay, equal opportunities at work and in the military. I don't think that many women get their asses grabbed everyday.

My wife has worked in some massively male dominated situations, such as being an airline engineer and working directly with and giving instructions to airline mechanics (probably over 99% male at our airline), she never gets any mistreatment. Actually the women engineers are treated far better by the mechanics and supervises than male engineers.

And that's the crux of it... they already have ALL of these things, yet continue to fight for it - and more.

Maternity leave isn't real unless men are also required to take it.
