      .@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.

      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.

          that's the issue that i addressed originally, and it's the issue i will continue to focus on here

          If you're determined to #AllLivesMatter all over the hashtag & make it abt women who have choice rather than those who don't...

          maybe you should re-read what i said originally, considering it's the opposite of how you just tried to summarize
