Muslim charity run

[Thomasina79]

Has banned women and girls over the age of 12 from participating. Thoughts?

The FA banned women’s football because they thought it was unsuitable for women and shouldn’t be encouraged. It isn’t like this attitude hasn’t been a problem in our recent history. That ban was lifted during my life time, so it feels a bit soon to be complacent and say it is none of our business. This attitude to women in sport has a legacy. In the recent rugby World Cup final the Canadian women’s team had to be crowd funded.

I’m not sure why the Daily Mail writing about Meghan is particularly relevant to anything really.

Your posts on other threads are disgustingly victim blaming.

Stop please

MN isn't perfect by any means, but it's obvious that men like Hadmysay find it incredibly threatening, and for that reason I hope it lasts forever.

Fucking hell.

'Not a good look'. Raping and abusing children is merely 'not a good look'.

Go on. Extrapolate. Why would it 'never' happen the other way around?

I know what you want to say. But will you have the balls to say it?

Who said i object to women having spaces away from men?
I support it but I support it for both genders not just women

Hang on. What has been banned by this particular mosque.

These things have the spotlight shone on them eventually

That's a good thing for progress

Women taking part in the race

What are you even talking about ?

Why do you think women might create a private exercise space away from men?

I know why but I want you to give me some reasons why you think.
I want some of you to say them out loud for me because I've asked loads of times

So you have nothing to be afraid of then, right. 😂

You seem confused.

If you have adult males wearing clothing that deliberately exposes their genitalia to female children - it is the adult male that is the problem - and fucking dangerous frankly.

If you have adult males unable to control their sexual urges based on the length of a female child’s skirt - it is the adult male that is the problem - and fucking dangerous frankly.

ETA - and anyone who pretends to not understand that is also fucking dangerous, to women and girls.

But this is the UK where men and women are equal under the law. If I wanted to attend this event and run, as a woman why shouldn’t I be allowed to? It is not a “men’s race” it is being tables as “inclusive” therefore, I should be able to turn up in shorts and a cropped running top and partake. It is irrelevant what their religious rules are, they’re totally irrelevant to me. The only relevant laws here are the ones of England and Wales

No religion operating in this country should be treating men and women differently, esp in public. No child should have to cover their hair for religious reasons. In fact no woman should cover her hair or face incase a poor man can’t contain himself. It creates the perspective men can’t contain themselves.

And how do you know about this official banishment? Where is the proof that this is what is going on? And if possible I would welcome tangible proof.

women priests in the Catholic Church anybody?

Aww, don’t tell him to stop.
It’s incredibly enlightening.
It’s like ‘Operation: Let Them Speak’ all over again.

How is the truth misogyny? In the uk we have big problems with the things I've mentioned. It's not victim blaming. It's the truth.
These are feminist issues.

From their own description of who can take part in the race

Obviously not. I think you didn’t understand my post. There is a recent history of women being banned from sport in this country and we are trying to move on from that which is why events like this seem backward and unacceptable by many. I hope that is clearer for you.

I don't care.
May of you have basically said that. Something which you do a lot.
You are very patronizing and aren't fooling anyone

It is stated on the actual website for the charity run, linked near the start of the thread. And the relevant information has been copied and pasted and quoted several times. Have a look at the link if you can be bothered.

😂 Most won't be killed.
Do you know how extremely rare it is for Muslim women to be killed for having struggles with her Islamic faith

I would not conflate the two events. I understand why you do but it doesn’t necessarily follow that they are the same.

No. Nobody is so stupid that they don't know the reasons why women need single sex spaces, or want to argue about them, they are merely so misogynistic that they don't care.

I am sure you think you are soaring high with this game of pigeon chess but you have absolutely no idea what you sound like, as evidenced by the fact you even think it's not obvious that you're a man. Literally the only person you're fooling is yourself.

As a PP said, it's Operation Let Them Speak Mark II.

I do trust me I do.
But tell me.
I want you to give me the reasons out loud.
