It is very difficult to be feminism *and* be respectful of inequalities & misogynistic ideas faced by women.

My mother wears a headscarf always. She lost her hair & half an ear in a fire. She likes pretty scarves.pic.twitter.com/bBbrXaxmgu

There is no idea connected to this. If someone says they do it coz as a woman it'd be immodest not to...
-
I'd be very critical of that idea abt women & modesty. Not the scarf itself. In another context, its fine.
-
u guys are misleaded. Its not only about modesty.I do it cos God told me to. Just like praying and fasting
-
I see what it means even here.A man shouted at a girl that she lacked deen cos her hijab bunched at the back

In East London. I studied Islam at the university there & I see the debates. The pressure on young women.
-
The term 'hojabi' exists.Women who don't wear it are whores. Wrap it like a lollipop to keep out flies (men)
-
It's strongly connected to morality, devoutness & modesty. Where it's neutral, no ethical problem.

how can i hurt ppl with my scarf. Why to disrespect it if it doesnt hurt anyone?
-
Modesty codes do hurt women. Feminists & gender egalitarians oppose gender-specific values ethically.
-
You have every right to subscribe to those codes yourself but not to demand no-one criticise them.
