I think part of the problem with trying to "liberate" muslima from the rules of their religion is that stuff like banning the hijab actually denies them a lot of opportunities http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/04/25/525559795/wearing-a-hijab-a-young-muslim-boxer-enters-the-ring?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=npr&utm_medium=social&utm_term=nprnews

When the going gets tough, throw away the thing that tells you not to throw the thing away.
I'm always annoyed when a TV show makes jokes about the flu or about vaccination that are scientifically inaccurate because I think public health isn't something to joke about and people mistake the jokes for the reality. So, for instance, a joke about somebody getting influenza from the vaccine only reinforces the popular misconception and discourages vaccination. #vaccines #badjokes
