“To me, it shows what I’ve seen this entire election cycle: an intense focus on desired white supremacy over common sense or self-respect. Perhaps a lack of self-respect is too judgmental. I’ve seen a lot of, ‘It didn’t happen to me, hence it didn’t happen to anyone else,’ about Trump’s accusers, or a sense that since this person is so invested and feels their sense of consent in regards to Trump, anyone who challenges that sense of consent is merely complaining.

The range of reactions confirms how dynamic and nuanced the American Muslim culture is and how essential American Muslim women are to our country’s discussions about gender, politics and issues affecting our society.”
