Nope, David Cameron, Muslim women aren’t as “traditionally submissive” as you might think. Oh yeah, and a good number of them can speak and understand English very, very well, kthnxbai.
Earlier this January, David Cameron blamed the growing Daesh recruitment on “traditionally submissive” Muslim women who should “learn English to prevent their sons from turning to extremism”.
Oooh, David Cameron, you just about it said it.
Oh, okay. So I guess these Muslim women on Twitter’s #TraditionallySubmissive responding to Cameron’s statement totally have no idea what they’ve done itemizing their achievements in English. And that they know more than two languages.
@David_Cameron I speak 4 languages,how many do you speak? #TraditionallySubmissive pic.twitter.com/tfX9EIvgEI

Oh gosh, with all their achievements and contributions to society, how are they EVER going to keep their sons from turning to extremism?

Indeed, however are they going to thwart Daesh/ISIS/ISIL by raising strong, independent, educated children?

Certainly, Cameron sees that spreading unbiased truthful journalism is no way to prevent terrorism.

Other users cited the contributions of Muslim women in history. Like, oh I don’t know, higher education? Pfft, no big deal, right?

Even non-Muslims came forward in solidarity.
Loving #TraditionallySubmissive. Because it’s not like Western Christianity ever suppressed women, right? (1 million dead ‘witches’…)

This tweet sums up all our feelings. How do you like it done, David Cameron? Medium rare, or well done?
Wow, #TraditionallySubmissive women are traditionally good cooks, too, judging by how deftly they’ve skewered and roasted David Cameron.
