this #NoHijabDay please remember that this is a day for those who are forced into wearing it; not to shame those who do so by choice
Yes, I do. Ppl make all sorts of bad choices and I can say so. I just can't make them listen to me or demand that they stop.

essentially what i'm saying is that free speech is fine, until said speech harasses/impedes on the rights of the wearer
-
And a hashtag does not do this. Even if people are really critical on it.
-
the issue is that many of those on this hashtag have been confusing the difference between free speech and hate speech
-
Really? Hate speech is free speech. We can condemn it tho and do. Criticising the hijab is not hate speech tho.
-
criticizing and harassing the people who wear the hijab (as is done quite a bit in this tag) is hate speech
-
If ppl are attacking individuals, yes. Not seeing much of that. Criticising concept. Criticising choice wearers generally, some
-
criticizing choice-wearers individually or as a group is hate speech, and many have assumed that that is the purpose of the tag
-
Is criticising confederate flag-wavers? I suggest dealing with it. Muslim women don't have to feel its an acceptable symbol.
