BuzzFeed has gone out or their way to tell everyone that Hijabs are TOTALLY EMPOWERING and FEMINIST…
OMG EVERYONE SHOULD WEAR A HIJAB! THEY’RE NOT A SYMBOL OF FEMALE OPPRESSION! THEY’RE SO FASHIONABLE!
There’s a lot more where those came from. They LOVE putting hijabs on non-Muslim people. You know. To make them understaaaaand.
They’ve tried their very best to normalize, even GLAMORIZE the hijab… So it makes sense that this makes them uncomfortable…
She has RIPPED OFF THE VERY SYMBOL OF HER OPPRESSION.
It’s a beautiful, chilling sight…
So of course, BuzzFeed tried their very best to knock it down.
People are using an old image of a woman without a headscarf to illustrate the Iran protests https://t.co/iue8r0thhv pic.twitter.com/MVXKpk1Qt9

OMG! So is this image we’ve all been moved by a FAKE?
About that…
If you click the article, you learn that the “old” photo is of women’s rights protesters in Iran taken December 27 https://t.co/j9zebpqp7l

It’s particularly odd, because the “wrong” tweets they highlight never actually claim that it was part of the larger Iran protest pic.twitter.com/edn6Yp9HRq

It’s less that a week “old.” BuzzFeed just really hates that picture.
This is awkward, isn’t it?
“old”

Shame on you. This picture is authentic and is for 6 days ago. You are an embarrassment for journalism.

Just a reminder that @BuzzFeedNews is a garbage news source and the people working there are not journalists. pic.twitter.com/VYyIJCPx9P

Iranians are protesting their oppressive regime.
BuzzFeed would like you to know that the picture of a woman protesting the oppressive Iranian regime is not related to the protests of the oppressive regime.
Buzzfeed is garbage.

Alright BuzzFeed… you just keep making videos of chicks pretending hijabs are super feminist and sit the rest of this one out, ok?
