this is wacky. i am speaking out of my ass kinda bc im not actually familiar with her work but these criticisms are so...weird yknow. whats an inauthentic ethnic voice. whats an authentic ethnic voice for that matter. accusing her of "agreeing with the civilizing mission of colonialism"... captivity narrative... using lived experience to justify intolerance. isnt this weird. arent these just weird ways to criticise someone forming her opinons on her life experiences with islam and its radical shades and then breaking away from them...in weird academic language instead of actually saying something useful abt her work. i get these are wikipedia quotations, they have to be short, but isnt that interesting that these are the ones chosen. its all show no substance. like, boo hoo, she alienated some feminists and academics, which is probably the easiest thing to do in the world. is that a crime?

#m #i also dont like to bring stuff like this up but this woman was put thru fgm as a child ad then went to live in a place where thats not the #norm (which is good. really good). yeah id imagine that kind of stuff would shape her views to a big degree. its not hard to see why #shed side with the evil evros or whatever. i too wouldside with the nations that simply dont allow little girls to be mutilated to protect #their supposed purity for religions or superstition sake and instead see it as the barbaric act it is
