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

.@badgallulu_ People can criticise gender-specific modesty codes. I defend the right to wear hijab but also the right to criticise it.

criticize the concept all you would like, but please respect that when it is in effect by choice, you don't get to say a thing

That makes no sense. We can criticise the concept all we want but don't get to say a thing if its a choice?

if a person chooses to wear the hijab, you don't get to say anything about whether what they're doing is right or not

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.

in my OT, i clarified that this day is to celebrate the right of women to choose, as it's clear that not many are aware of this

Many people are critical of gender-specific modesty expectations, yes. They say so. That's OK too.

Sometimes people seem to think only western feminists can criticise slut-shaming. No. Support Muslim women who do so too.
