Wearing a hijab isn’t inherently liberating – but neither is baring one’s breasts. What is liberating is being able to choose either of these things. It’s pretty ludicrous to think that oppression is somehow proportional to how covered or uncovered someone’s body is. Both sides of this argument present a shallow understanding of women’s empowerment, which only drowns out the substantive challenges facing all women – issues that cannot be encapsulated in a debate about a piece of fabric.

I kept getting out at first

Father: Yeah he's been doing great. Batted two for two in the game today.
Me: Oh and I heard he did well in his game at school the other day too!
Little brother: Yeah I was batting two for two at that game too but I kept getting out at first because my cup wasn't on right.
Grandpa: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Me: And on that note, I'll talk to you guys later
