Erdogan’s Turkey is Becoming More Deadly for Women | Emma Barnett Meets Elif Shafak

[@kekessalman]

Some info on Elif Şafak (Shafak in international market) She was never imprisoned or penalized in Turkey. She's the daughter of a diplomatic staff, brought up in international schools outside Turkey. Many Turks find her out of touch. She supported 'mildly islamist' AKP (while secular Kemalists warned) until around 2014. She was married to the prominent Gulenist journalist Eyüp Can Sağlık. She carefully plans her work with the hot agenda of the time, Armenian Genocide, Mevlana (Rumi), and now Women's Rights in Turkey. She has never been actively involved in these movements putting herself exposed to any risk. She just doesn't deserve this attention just for being a pretty English speaking woman.

[@rarr4669]

All these, even if 100% true, do not change the message she is voicing. The number of femicites, how Turkey turned into a dictator ship and how Erdogan is trying to revive the ottoman empire with belligerence, aggression and violence.

Even erdoğan today is still a beter option then those nationalist anti eu kemalist warmongers with their wet dreams opressing kurds, inaving syria, conquering back Greece. We worned you about those kemalist network and we come to be true not other way around. Erdogans polices are closer to those peoples agenda today than the opposition. even CHP admit to be wrong where thay stand those days stop selling this silly idea that no one believes anymore

Wasn't Emma Barnett's father a brothel owner? I'm pretty sure that would have been a very dangerous place for women, aye Emma.

[@unknownus3r]

Exactly!

[@constantius4654]

So what? Emma Barnett is a first class journalist.

[@unknownus3r]

@@constantius4654 "so what"? She knew her father was running the brothels and yet failed to do anything about it. Wouldn't a "First class journalist" atleast report the matter to the police instead of covering it up? She was just as complicit in those crimes as her father.

[@hayleyannamathieson7261]

What has that got to do with her being a excellent journalist and highly intelligent woman? My father was a truly abhorrent man. Very violent. I am the opposite and extremely different.

[@EdvardaMack]

Stop promoting yourself Elif as a feminist and speaking on our behalf especially because we all know that you are not a feminist. You supported Erdoğan’s regime so heartily as your Gülenist organization did until 2016 when your guys tried to stage a coup. And these people listening to her and believing or pitying women in Turkey, please be aware that she is a professional liar and has never had any affiliation or sympathy towards women’s movement. I really feel upset that she has recently started speaking on behalf of feminists. Nobody, I repeat, nobody in the entite country likes her and it is definitely not a Rushdie case. She has no ideology, she just pretends to have one every five years or so.

[@jackbamba1390]

She lives in London. She rarely goes to Turkey. Why does she act like she lives in Turkey. Besides she is always against Turkish values, culture, indeed, everything about Turkey. Even seculars in Turkey don't like her. Because she acknowledges some so-called massacres. In other words, a Turk does not speak there. The speaking is a British.

[@ПравославнаБалкан]

You mean the Armenian Genocide? I've met Turks that have accepted it and moved on. Nothing wrong with that.

[@Telemed911]

What enlightened insight! As an older U.S. citizen, I am amazed by her commentary and how much it applies to me. I am so tired of the internet consensus that we can have only a single identity. In addition, I have recently talked with supporters of former president Trump, who have these magical notions about U.S. history and fill in U.S. history with ridiculous statements. Congratulations to her!!!

[@hermannhesse4182]

Turkish women were always in danger. Elif Şafak continued to support the regime until it had a conflict of interest. I also want you to know that she is the bride of a Shariaist sect. She has not lived in Turkey for years. While there are many dissident quality writers in Turkey, it is indeed a great choice to host the bride of the sharialist sect sheikh. Congratulations 🤢

Did she say hate speech against women is a crime? Holy fainting couch feminism

[@NaderNabilart]

Well, she likes freedom of speech, however she is advocating criminalizing writing bad words online. Interesting contrast here.

[@blueswan7655]

When did she do that?

[@NaderNabilart]

@@blueswan7655 In this interview. She's asking for criminally charging people for writing bad stuff online. Defamation charge is already there but I guess it's not enough for her. I see that she wants to support women, but this can be absurdly used against women. Needs more thought about the solution, and by watching UAE who applied a similar law few years ago, it isn't a solution, just a mask for the problem.
