#plus the public defending her a lot on twitter and in articles too over the past year

[mistlekissy]

I think both sentences are true that Jason shot himself in the foot and also that he made people hate her even more.

Not on Harry twitter, but at the time of the Cinemacon thing, most people were on his side, there was a bunch of hit tweets with tens and hundreds of thousands of likes either calling her a dead beat mother or saying she deserved to get served that way because she was probably dodging papers for months. Of course people now know that was not the truth because of the leaked court documents and him doing this in such a public way definitely didn't help his case.

Also, only harries were pissed by his comment about them breaking up in november, again, the general public was on his side at the time, talking about how she did him wrong.

I think when people were only calling her names because of her boyfriend or speculating that she cheated on Jason she didn't bother to correct the narrative, and tried to be gracious about Jason, that time when Ted Lasso won the critics choice and he thanked her and she congratulated him on twitter seemed to be a very deliberate show of piece on both of their parts. But when it started being about her as a mother corroborated by the actions of her ex, that's when she got pissed enough to say something about it.

I do think both of them should avoid talking about each other in the future, because of their kids, but this instance definitely felt justified.

while i don't believe he was behind her getting served AT cinemacon and his intention wasn't for her to get publicly humiliated, he 1) was def 1000% wrong about not wanting her to get served at harry's place which would've guaranteed this to stay private (also suggesting the airport is so weird too and dumb too) and 2) jumped the gun to begin with, they could've probably talked this out more in private instead of him serving her bc he got scared which dragged this all into the public as well. so in conclusion, very bad moves on jason's part but i can't see how his intention with that was to make ppl hate her? like that's the conclusion ppl came to and she def has every right to be upset about the reactions and the way jason filed for custody and i'm not trying to shut her up or anything but imo it just doesn't makes sense to talk more about the situation in the same interview in which ur also realizing how bad this is for ur kids and that relationships are better kept private, like her comments in court were sufficient and she would've come out as the MUCH bigger person in my eyes at least if she had left it at that, but agree to disagree etc etc

“It’s patriarchy”

I’ll be making lots of comparisons throughout the post in order to illustrate better my point. Lauren said it: “It’s rampant sexism”. On the media, on the GP’s perception, on the production process, on the industry in general.

Let’s start with some basics....

BB released an article back in early 2015 where it was described Why Can't Modern Girl Groups Land a Radio Hit? These modern GG more like 5H & LM. In this written piece there are several statements that undoubtedly caught my attention. Starting with the last paragraph:

When I asked Biddle why he thinks One Direction enjoy more stateside success than girl groups, he echoed Wiegenstein's sentiment. "I don't know 100 percent. I guess it's because those boys are 'cute'? It could be as simple as that."

How sad it is that we exist in the midst of 21st century & still there are people that prefer “pretty faces & looks” over talent– btw this comment is not triggered to 1D in the slightest, I have nothing but respect for them– I just mean this in a very generalised form.

It’s not secret that a girlband has to work 10x harder to get a quarter of the recognition a boyband gets.

Similarly, a girl group isn't as easy to promote as a boy band. "In terms of teen magazines, the idea of marketing different members of boy bands is easier," says Anna Louise Wiegenstein, a former pop culture instructor (and Little Mix fan), who's giving a talk on One Direction fan culture at the National Pop Culture Association/American Culture Association Conference in April. "There's the 'funny one,' the 'mysterious one' -- it's easy to make quizzes and profile pieces around them."

When marketing a girl group to teenage girls, Wiegenstein continues, it's harder to tap into those teenage hormones. "When you're talking about a group of girls, they target the brands around personalities," she says. "It's more like, 'Which one would be your friend?' And there's less of a fantasy aspect to that."

Leaving aside the marketing strategy (which is true, bc how many times we have seen someone in the fandom say “I’m more like Lauren” or “Dinah & I would get along” etc.), I want to focus in the use of “teenage hormones”. Hormonal is always associated to the female self. Which leads me to jump into the media field:

Here a contrast on how media reported 5H x Camila vs. 1D x Zayn

Informing about the “We don’t talk to our ex-bandmates anymore” moment.

In contrast to Camila’s report, Zayn’s one has got this “scattering element”, if I can call it like that. The “chunky girls” & “Gigi Hadid” features helped to divert the viewer’s attention from the main point. Just look at the comments section from the two videos & the difference is pretty self explanatory….

Sadly the more problematic the situation evolves around the girls, the better. For boys, the situation is showcased in a much lighter form even if the conflict is tighter over there.

We know that in both cases narratives are recycled. However on this side the girls haven’t threw shade thus far, unfortunately media portraits the whole in an almost unforgivable way. For the record there was not really much to report. It’s only about the time Lauren posted the “fake that confidence bih” tweet, only to later explain it was to herself.  Still that was not going to stop them from pulling a video to attract a handful of viewers. The segment starts by quoting the title, which by the way ensures grabbing the spectator’s attention: “Did Lauren Jauregui diss Camila Cabello AGAIN After Grammy After-Party?”

*in my most sarcastic tone* You guys, apparently L shaded C more than once & we didn’t know… I grew three grey hairs with that headline itself.  Right after including Lauren’s tweet to the assumed shade, the only thing they added on the coverage script was a simple “preach girl” 😒😒

Whereas in the 1D side Zayn did throw shade (several times), a public fight on Twitter unleashed & the reporter’s remarks sound nothing like in the 5H coverage. The feud is a lot less magnified. “Ugh! Put the weapons down boys!”. Hell, Clever made sure to shut down the rumours that Zayn had unfollowed the entire band. Note how they even show what happen to be “receipts” while the host says “I’ve put some of my best creeping skills to the test & found out he has not yet unfollowed them so there’s that bit of kinda sorta good news for you & in hope that this won’t ruin their friendship for good.” We can also add how in a poor attempt of diminishing the climax they brought the dolls into the scene. Seriously, I’d love to see them doing something like this when addressing the girls’ drama *sighs* only in my wildest dreams.

Why does media scandalises more the girlgroup’s party than the boyband’s one?

I’ve said this before, but I don’t mind repeating it. Hollywood has used the stigma that “women can’t get along while working” for so long. Plus the infamous stereotypes of our incredible rational society that a girl is constantly hormonal, temperamental & always has to be involved in any sort of catfight with someone from the same gender. There has to be a “bitch” in the story without exception. Inside the entertainment industry, they love taking advantage of this cliché. Not said by me, but coming directly from a very renowned actress…

Jessica Chastain talks sexism in the industry

If the video loads for you, I highly recommend that you watch it. It’s such a short article, nevertheless I’ll be attaching some extracts below:

There was a great myth that I grew up with that women don’t work well together,” Jessica Chastain tells Vanity Fair.

Back when she was promoting The Help in 2011, Chastain explains, “so many of the questions I was getting from the press was about fighting on set—’Was it tough to be on set with all those girls?’ I wasn’t getting those questions with any of the other movies that I’d been involved with.” 

Out of joke, I lost count of all the times I’ve heard this same question with 5H.

Fun fact that I found randomly: Reminder that only 3% of the decision-making in media is made by women. Which means that 97% of how women are portrayed is decided by men.

Always pitting women against each other is what our generation does best nowadays. Clearly mgmt & the label have used this with the fandom. The creation of “-izers” are a great example of this. As well this standard is ultimately what impulses the narrative on a daily basis. Stans went from loving & defending the group with their lives, to only caring about their faves. I know some fans still keep up with each girl & love them all. I have faith in those stans. If you’re one of them, don’t fall for that mischievous game, thank you.

DON’T BE NAIVE, KIDS.

P.S. I leave you the link to others sexist scenarios in the industry. Worth checking each out.

This Is The Kind Of Bullsh*t You Face As A Woman In The Music Industry

99% of women working in the film and TV industries have experienced sexism

I’ve heard, for example, that if a male director is being picky, people say he has a strong vision. With a woman, people will say she is being difficult. It’s also common to assume that kindness is a sign of weakness.

7 Anecdotes From Female Artists Show How Deep Sexism Runs in the Music Industry

"Women in the industry are judged more," Nicki Minaj told Time back in February. "If you speak up for yourself, you're a bitch. If you party too much, you're a whore. Men don't get called these things."

Grimes Says Male Producers Threatened to Not Finish Her Songs if She Didn't Have Sex

Grimes is no stranger to being open about the misogyny and sexism she and other females face in the industry.

Grimes fielded one fan's question, who asked why the topic seems like such a "regular thing" for her to tweet and speak about if she finds it so annoying. Grimes explained it only seems that because of the way the press fixates on it.

Fb's Cryptocurrency Takes It Nearer to Being a 'Digital Nation', Skilled Warns

http://tinyurl.com/y54lfjct Fb has introduced a plan to launch a new cryptocurrency named the Libra, including one other layer to its efforts to dominate international communications and enterprise. Backed by huge finance and technology companies together with Visa, Spotify, eBay, PayPal and Uber – plus a ready-made user base of 2 billion people all over the world – Fb is positioned to strain international locations and central banks to cooperate with its reinvention of the global financial system.   For my part as a social media researcher and educator, Fb CEO Mark Zuckerberg is clearly in search of to offer his firm much more political power on a global scale, regardless of the potential risks to society at massive. In a way, he’s declaring that he desires Fb to turn into a digital nation, populated by customers, powered by a self-contained economic system, and headed by a CEO – Zuckerberg himself – who’s not even accountable to his shareholders. Fb hasn’t behaved responsibly up to now, and continues to be wrestling with vital public considerations – and investigations – about its privacy practices, information accuracy and targeted advertising. Due to this fact, it is necessary to see via the hype. Individuals should consider who is reshaping the world, and whether or not they’re doing it in the perfect pursuits of humankind – or whether or not they’re simply in search of to profit the brand new class of elite expertise executives. Humanity wants moral management, and time to suppose via the potential repercussions of fast technological change. That is why, for my part, Fb’s cryptocurrency should be blocked by monetary regulators till its design has been proved to be protected for all of world society.   Understanding Libra Expertise corporations are thinking about a global currency that is native to the internet. That might enable corporations like Fb and Twitter to usher in extra customers to their platforms, and collect money from businesses who want to join the brand new system. Additionally they wish to siphon off business from the existing financial services industry. That sector is price trillions of dollars, is enormously worthwhile, and but has struggled to implement its own digital currency. It’ll begin as a non-public, permissioned, not-trustless, centralized oligopolistic members-only membership. A lot for calling it “blockchain”. Like all “enterprise DLT” it’s blockchain in title solely and an monopoly to extract large seignorage from billions of customers. A monopoly rip-off https://t.co/NritKaQODS — Nouriel Roubini (@Nouriel) June 17, 2019 The technical particulars of Fb’s plans are nonetheless rising, however it appears that evidently the corporate just isn’t in search of to compete with Bitcoin or different cryptocurrencies. Reasonably, Fb is seeking to change the prevailing global financial system with an all-new setup, with Libra at its middle. The corporate could also be relying on elevated public curiosity in cryptocurrencies and financial technologies, and its market energy, to beat objections. Nonetheless, I do not imagine Fb needs to be allowed to wreck the global financial system prefer it has, as many see it, wrecked global communications.   Rushing international alternate There’s undoubtedly a necessity for smoother, faster and cheaper methods to send money around the world, and to supply entry to monetary companies to the numerous people who do not have formal bank accounts. There’s actual potential to Libra, however there are prone to be methods to enhance much more, creating a fee system that higher serves the world as a complete. A minimum of in the intervening time, the Libra is being designed as a type of electronic money linked to many national currencies. That has raised fears that Libra would possibly sometime be acknowledged as a sovereign foreign money, with Fb appearing as a “shadow bank” that might compete with the central banks of nations all over the world. It does not assist that Fb is already positioning itself to evade regulatory scrutiny by creating a corporate subsidiary that can be part of an ostensibly independent governing body for the Libra. To guard shoppers, regulators ought to look fastidiously at whether or not the brand new system supporting the Libra is sound. It might be that a wholly new set of monetary guidelines and rules is required to protect the prevailing monetary system from hurt if the Libra turns into extra common than nationwide currencies. On the very least, governments must proceed slowly and thoroughly when new merchandise might introduce systemic dangers into our surroundings. Even the CEO of Google has acknowledged that. For my part, Libra’s deliberate launch in 2020 doesn’t enable sufficient time to totally vet this expertise and its dangers.   Defending the worldwide monetary system Monetary rules have developed over time to encourage trust between unknown parties, and to guard common clients from fraudsters and company greed. There are additionally guidelines that assist governments forestall and detect transactions that support crime and terrorism. This isn’t to say that every one funds and purchases needs to be tied to a known entity online or in real life. Cash and anonymity is also a civil right and is vital to privateness and private freedoms. As new digital monetary companies, strategies of digital fee and currencies develop and turn into common, they shouldn’t be allowed to undermine longstanding financial safety systems, even within the title of smoother, cheaper transactions. My concern is not only about large-volume transactions. Fb has proven how even small quantities of cash can purchase microtargeted ads with the facility to affect public opinion and election outcomes within the US and all over the world. Product design and danger evaluation Fb has a protracted historical past of questionable business models and privacy practices. The general public, and their representatives in authorities – together with elected officers, monetary regulators and central bank authorities – ought to fastidiously scrutinize all features of Fb’s cryptocurrency plans. This concern is particularly pressing as a result of Fb additionally has a protracted historical past of launching services and products, like political advertisements and live-streaming video, with out totally contemplating their potential to break democracy and the worldwide society at massive. The corporate has demonstrated its incapacity to serve society beneficially – and it may not even be interested in trying. All of the alerts recommend that clients and regulators alike ought to fastidiously study whether or not Fb’s Libra is truly innovative or only a strategy to keep away from restrictions on a doubtlessly hazardous monetary product. Defending democracy Fb’s entrance into the monetary business is a risk to democracies and their residents all over the world, on the identical scale as disinformation and knowledge warfare, which additionally rely on social media for his or her effectiveness. It might be arduous for world leaders to know that that is an emergency, as they can not see the digital powers aligning in opposition to them. However they have to huddle rapidly to ensure they have – and hold – the power to protect their people from expertise corporations’ greed. Sure, however the objective is greater than this…Zuckerberg is constructing Rome. That is nation-building. That is greater than the worldwide monetary system. Sovereigns are being invaded from the cloud. https://t.co/cbagUDHoHh — J. Grygiel 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸 (@jmgrygiel) June 18, 2019 Will probably be key to know if Fb’s future cryptocurrency will finally operate extra like nameless money, or extra like a traceable bank card transaction. Fb has the blockchain and encryption expertise to create an nameless digital cash-like system, or a non-public digital foreign money, which has not been created yet. Anonymity would heighten the dangers of abuse resembling cash laundering, so it is price watching out for a cash-like Fb cryptocurrency that mirrors the central banks’ money system. As well as, I can’t assist however replicate on the title that Fb selected for this, the Libra, which is a reference to the Roman measurement for a pound, as soon as used to mint cash. In some ways the corporate that Mark Zuckerberg is constructing is starting to look extra like a Roman Empire, now with its personal central financial institution and foreign money, than an organization. The one downside is that this new nation-like platform is a managed firm and is run extra like a dictatorship than a sovereign nation with democratically elected leaders. Even now, the corporate might have as much power as some international locations – and more than others. Within the wake of the not too distant global financial crisis, and the “pretend information” and disinformation tradition that’s creating, folks should decelerate and totally consider disruptive expertise of this magnitude. Society can’t stand up to a launch of a cryptocurrency in Fb’s notorious “move fast and break things” type.

I’m not writing to take an opinion on the issues of sanctuary cities or illegal immigration, but have to say I’m pleased a gang of Republican-appointed federal judges were willing to rule against a president from their own party.

Wikimedia Commons

Philly.com reports from the Associated Press that this afternoon,

“A federal appeals court in Chicago has ruled that President Donald Trump’s administration cannot withhold public safety grants from cities that don’t cooperate with its immigration enforcement policies, agreeing with a temporary injunction imposed earlier this year by a lower court judge.”

The decision by three judges on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says the administration tried to exceed its authority by establishing a new condition for cities to qualify for public safety money. Instead, Congress earmarked the money without that condition.

Judge Ilana Rovner wrote, in an opinion joined by Judge William Bauer,

“The Attorney General in this case used the sword of federal funding to conscript state and local authorities to aid in federal civil immigration enforcement. … But the power of the purse rests with Congress, which authorized the federal funds at issue and did not impose any immigration enforcement condition on the receipt of such funds.”

According to Politico, judges here in Philadelphia and also Los Angeles “blocked attempts to add the immigration-related conditions to new federal grants.”

“Sanctuary cities” are those that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration agents by letting them know when immigrants in the country illegally are about to be released from police detention.

Last July, the Trump team decided cities receiving public safety grants — that can be used to buy public-safety equipment, including police cars — must agree to inform federal agents.

Then, Chicago and several cities sued, and a lower court judge imposed a temporary injunction on the administration’s requirement.

This afternoon, all three judges agreed, so that nationwide injunction will stay in force. But one judge said the ruling should apply to Chicago only. That detail won’t matter.

Judge Daniel Manion wrote,

“Other jurisdictions that do not want to comply with the Notice and Access conditions were not parties to this suit, and there is no need to protect them in order to protect Chicago. … A nationwide preliminary injunction … should only be issued where it is absolutely necessary, and it is far from absolutely necessary here.”

Wikipedia

A pleased Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel praised the judge who wrote the decision.

“Judge Rovner says in her opinion that Chicago does not interfere with the federal government’s lawful enforcement of immigration laws and pursuit of its civil immigration activities, and presence in such localities will not immunize anyone to the reach of the federal government,” Emanuel said.

But he did mention the fight isn’t over, since the money hasn’t yet come.

Justice Department spokesman Devin O’Malley disagreed, writing in a statement,

“We will continue to fight to carry out the Department’s commitment to the rule of law, protecting public safety, and keeping criminal aliens off the streets to further perpetrate crimes.”

Several cities established policies to protect immigrants since Trump won the 2016 election.

Politico noted, “Rovner was appointed by President George H.W. Bush, Bauer by President Gerald Ford and Manion by President Ronald Reagan, all Republicans.”

Three cheers to all three, since the judiciary should be separate from politics, just like they ruled the Executive branch should be separate from the Legislative.

These folks did the right thing, at least this time, since I’m not familiar with their other rulings.

Give Alex Holley an A (and a raise)

http://www.fox29.com/about-us/alex-holley-good-day-philadelphia-co-host

ShareRocket numbers came out on Monday. They’re the equivalent of Nielsen ratings for TV shows, but for social media instead. Take them for what they’re worth, along with the thought of companies trying to use social media to make money. The Fox Television Stations Group (which still doesn’t bother to list its stations, as I’ve mentioned here and several other places) is very big on it. Too big. Other things lose out. (See Murdoch, Rupert. Facebook‘s Mark Zuckerberg knows much better.)

According to ShareRocket, in the first quarter of this year,  Philadelphia’s “WTXF (Fox 29) generated more than 7.3 million total Engagements,” meaning the number of times people responded to the station’s, or their employees’ posts — on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram — by liking, commenting, etc., during the first quarter.

“The station also benefited from having the No. 1 individual in the market, anchor Alex Holley. Holley generated more than 960,000 Engagements in the quarter across all platforms.”

Doing simple math — 960,000 divided by 7.3 million — Good Day Philadelphia anchor Holley is completely responsible for 13.15 percent of Fox 29’s performance in the quarter, all on her own. This doesn’t count anything the station wrote about her or her stories. These are posts she wrote and published by herself, on her own accounts. Good for her!

On the other hand, that means everybody else at Fox 29, including the group of people paid to write news and social media (way too much social media, if you ask me), only did 86.85 percent of the station’s first quarter performance. As I’ve written before, web producers

“try to find articles from out of the area that will get clicked. What usually happens is that one station — whether it happened in their area or not — writes it and offers to share it with the other stations, which may choose to accept it or not. If they accept it, then they can tease it on social media or not.”

So there’s lots of help Alex doesn’t get.

By the way, ShareRocket reports,

“The market saw a very large increase in Engagement in general from quarter to quarter, likely driven by the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl win. All six stations Share Rocket tracks in the market saw significant bumps in total Engagement, and four of those stations saw increases of +40% or more.”

But Fox 29 wasn’t one of the four stations out of six that saw increases of 40 percent or more. Fox 29 was in the bottom half. It only went up 22 percent from quarter to quarter! In other words, it lagged and underperformed, and its share of the market dropped from 33.48 percent, down to 30.77 percent.

Imagine where they’d be without Alex!

There’s a new face on President Trump’s legal team dealing with the ongoing special counsel probe, and it’s a familiar one. Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani told The Washington Post he joined the club.

Giuliani said to the paper,

“I’m doing it because I hope we can negotiate an end to this for the good of the country and because I have high regard for the president and for Bob Mueller.”

Along with the longtime Trump ally, the president will also be defended by a couple who run a Florida-based law firm, Jane Serene Raskin and Marty Raskin. Plus everyone else on his legal team. The new three are all former federal prosecutors.

Speaking of former federal prosecutors, Chris Christie hasn’t been New Jersey governor since January but his official portrait is making news because it’s going to “cost a stunning $85,000,” according to the New York Post. (Get your jokes out of the way now. The Post did. Its article’s headline is “Artist gets big, fat paycheck for Chris Christie’s official portrait.”)

Wikipedia

NorthJersey.com reports the $85,000 will be “more than what his three predecessors … paid to have their images hang in commemoration of their political service” — combined!

It priced the portrait “the highest for a governor since Democrat Jim Florio paid $58,000 for his. Christie’s three immediate predecessors — Jon Corzine, Richard Codey and Jim McGreevey, all Democrats — paid a combined $74,500.”

That makes the Christie image cost $10,500 more than Corzine, Codey and McGreevey’s altogether.

There is one difference: Christie did take up two terms. The last New Jersey governor to do that was Christine Whitman ($48,000), who served from 1994 to 2001. Even Florio was a one-termer, serving 1990 to 1994. FYI, his two predecessors were both two-termers, Tom Kean and Brendan Byrne.

The website showed the governors’ official portraits:

According to NorthJersey.com,

“Since he took office, Christie has spoken about the official picture that likely will long outlive him and the many internet memes he’s touched off. And in his public life, Christie had earned a reputation for having a taste for luxury when others paid the bill.”

Then the paper went on to describe those luxuries.

Wikipedia

Who will pay? “A taxpayer-funded transition account of $250,000 that is granted to former governors to pay for staff and office space, as well as services such as the painting,” NorthJersey.com says.

The artist is Australian Paul Newton. The portrait will be oil-on-canvas.

Too bad it won’t hang in the Statehouse when it’s finished by the fall. That’s under a multi-year renovation.

It won’t cost us anything to remember what NorthJersey.com described as

“the picture of him on that beach closed to everyone else, in that chair with his family and friends while the public was shut out of state parks on a holiday weekend during a government shutdown.”

Let’s hope Phil Murphy has a more compact ego!

Sanctuary cities judges show they know justice, not politics I’m not writing to take an opinion on the issues of sanctuary cities or illegal immigration, but have to say I’m pleased a gang of Republican-appointed federal judges were willing to rule against a president from their own party.

Lindsay Lohan wears a hijab, sparking mixed feelings on social media

Lindsay Lohan was spotted at a modest fashion show wearing a hijab. The actress attended the second annual London Modest Fashion Week over the weekend, and she dressed the part.

Before the show, she posted a video on her Instagram, in which she learned how to style a hijab and expressed her desire to wear it traditionally. “I think it needs [to be] a little bit more tighter in the [back]. I don’t want it to come off and show too much,” the once risqué woman told her hijab-tutor in the video.

When someone suggested she switch wrapping styles so she could wear it as tight as she wanted, she said she wanted “to do traditional Saudi wrap. … That’s what I’d rather learn to do so I know. … I want to learn how to do it properly.” This could be because she’s set to film an all-female movie in Saudi Arabia. She then told the woman that she had been living in Dubai for three years.

She also posted a video from the fashion show and spoke to BBC Minute about modest apparel. “Fashion doesn’t always have to be so naked and can be adventurous and still beautiful, with a strong group of women behind it,” Lohan said.

Not only did she wear the right clothing, she also wore the right makeup. According to halal/vegetarian/vegan makeup retailer HawaCosmetics, Lohan stopped by their booth and told them about “how she’s into halal cosmetics and what she’s actually wearing on her face today was all halal!!” according to their social media post. They were referencing the Muslim diet and referring to avoiding non-halal makeup.

Oh my days! As if Lindsay Lohan came over to say hello to Team Hawa! She was so lovely and was saying how she's into halal cosmetics and what she’s actually wearing on her face today was all halal!! Well all I can say is if it's good enough for Lindsay Lohan, gurlll whatcha all waiting for?! @lindsaylohan #lindsaylohan #movieicon #legend #halal #makeup #beauty #beautyqueen #halalcosmetics #crueltyfree #vegetarian #vegan #noanimaltesting #hawa__cosmetics

Lohan’s efforts to respect Muslim traditions are getting mixed reactions. Some people really into this look were impressed by her interest, including the designers.

Lindsay Lohan in an hijab! Now there’s a role model.

— Adele (@Contented2851) February 19, 2018

Others were angry that Lohan was promoting what they see as oppressive attire, especially when women are protesting wearing the hijab in Iran right now and getting arrested for it. “It amazes me how the western civilization sees wearing the hijab as an act of liberation and empowerment while women in Iran are removing their hijabs off as a protest, meaning the hijab is actually a sign of oppression in muslim countries,” one follower tweeted. One user accused Lohan of “normalizing Islamic misogyny.”

Since when did promoting oppressive articles of clothing become a thing? Especially when women take off their hijab's in protest…seems counter-productive…

@BBCNews @lindsaylohan Meanwhile in Iran women are protesting the forced wearing of the hijab. Symbol of oppression.

Not at all? It’s entirely diff with their religion. Literally last week thousands of women protest the hijab and here on the West were fashionizing it..

— Luca Paolucci (@LPao01) February 18, 2018

Some are defending her choice.

Lindsay Lohan is a grown woman, it is her choice to wear a Hijab. Appalled by the fact that many people are sending her hate messages and even death threats because of this! Repulsive behaviour…

— Zayne (@KhanEnterprise0) February 19, 2018

Author and “Advice Goddess” Amy Alkon pointed out that Lohan doesn’t fully get modest fashion just yet, since she was seen at another London Fashion Week show wearing a headscarf paired with a leather LBD.

Lindsay Lohan seems seriously confused, vis a vis the intersection of Islam and BDSM-lite with the hijab and ill-fitting leather minidress.

Modest fashion blogger Maryam thinks we’re overthinking it. “Lindsay Lohan donning a Hijab is nothing offensive or alerting in my opinion,” she told Yahoo! Lifestyle. She gives the actress credit for exploring another religion. “I think it’s actually pretty cool that she is touching this part of the Islamic faith.  If she wants to wear it, even if it’s occasionally, that’s her personal choice, I don’t see what the issue is,” the Muslim mom stated. “She’s expressed her interest in Islam and perhaps wants to experience the Hijab aspect of it and that’s kind of a no-brainer. So many Muslim women and those studying Islam take this step in their spiritual journey as Hijab is a pivotal part of a Muslim women’s identity. It’s just unfortunate her journey has to be so scrutinized and watched by the thousands since she’s a public figure.”

While LiLo does love to shock, anyone who’s been following her shouldn’t be that surprised. She expressed an interest in Islam before this. She changed her Instagram bio in January to “Salam Aleikum,” a standard greeting among Muslims. “In Islamic culture, I feel like it’s a family to me, a lot of my friends are Arab, and they’ve been really good people to me,” she said in an interview on Good Morning Britain in 2017.

Lohan also told Piers Morgan about the time she got stopped at an airport while wearing a headscarf. She referred to it as the first time she was “racially profiled.” She had to remove her headscarf, and while she was OK with that, she was still shaken. “What scared me was, in that moment, how would another woman who doesn’t feel comfortable taking off her headscarf feel? That was really interesting to me. I mean, I was kind of in shock,” she said.

When pressed about her interest in the religion, she said she had a soft spot for Islam. “I do study it, nothing is confirmed yet…” she said of converting.

The actress went to Turkey in 2016 to visit with Syrian refugees and was spotted wearing a floral headscarf. Then there was the time she hit the beach in Thailand wearing a burkini.

And she sparked rumors that she’d be designing her own hijabs in 2017 when she posted a black-and-white photo of herself wearing one, with a caption reading, “New Fashion Line coming soon ….  #fashion.” The post has since vanished, as have any signs of her hijab fashion line.
