On the other item - you have a fear that showing too many inclusivity movies™ will lead to more crimes or more rapes...and/or this example is somehow related to what we've been talking about or specifically to the example of the woman we've been discussing? If we're worried that fears over race relations will lead to injustice - then the problem is the circumstance which creates that worry - those race relations...not inclusivity...the thing that would solve that very problem.
It's very simple. Women are jailed, beaten, and harassed throughout the world for not wearing hijab. Hijab comes in various forms, most common of it is the headscarf. Is it too much a distant notion that perhaps a women who is wearing a headscarf and leading a women's march (which is all about women's empowerment) is pointed out the hypocrisy?
There have been precedents of public outcry in the past that shinned light on issues for good social change: Nike's child labor sweatshops, blood diamonds, Apple's Chinese phone manufacturing facilities and labor laws etc etc.
Recently Denmark banned slaughtering of animals without stunning them first. Both Muslims and Jews slaughter the animals using methods that are not quick and animal goes through pain and trauma. Killing animal by stunning them first is a more humane way of slaughter. In ideal world perhaps we won't even have to slaughter them and can just grow the meat in the lab but we are not there yet. I think this is a great step at incrementally enforcing rules of animal rights which started in 1970's and not worrying about "cultural sensibilities" and that's the way it should be.
