Now I seem to spend a lot of time trying to get secular liberals to see that even if hijab is a choice, that doesn't make it good.

need to define good tho. Does that assume it's bad? The importance of choice is it makes it their mistake to make, only..

The logic remains the same. Something being a choice doesn't mean its a bad choice or a good one.

yep, agree. Wonder if people are arguing different points tho. ie: bad choice but the freedom to make it overrides that..

No. That is reasonable. I agree with that. Talking abt ppl who respond 'but it;s their choice!' as tho that settles whole issue.

Gender-specific ideas of modesty are sexist & restrictive. No, theyre not! Women choose it! Huh?

Ppl have the right to be socially conservative. They can make that choice. I can still criticise socially conservative values.

absolutely.. lots of examples of people changing their choice. Doesn't make either inherently good choices..

Or ppl simply having the right to make bad choices for themselves. They do. This doesn't make the choice good.
