Let me bottom line this for you; my freedom of expression to flip you the bird doesn’t inherently make me flipping you off not offensive. Just like these women exercising their freedoms doesn’t necessarily make the Burka not oppressive. Those who were upset seeing me flipping you off almost certainly wouldn’t be having a problem specifically with me exercising my freedom of expression just like here these women exercising their freedom isn’t what people have a problem with. It would obviously be the symbol and what it represents and what the action of me flipping you off represents as a whole. Any insinuation to the contrary is just reaching for an argument and ignoring what has been said.
