Quite. Being raised to believe it's sinful if you don't combined with threats if you deviate skews 'willingly'
@anais_henrix -
Or even not combined with threats. Here younger generation more likely to wear niqab than parents.
-
Because elements of younger generation have a more fundamentalist faith. Older generation may disapprove.
-
But if a young woman takes on a niqab along with notions of female modesty & piety, I still disapprove.

Even hijab. Cf teen filmed twerking recently - apologised after death threats and shaming
@anais_henrix -
Yes, I know. My point is that free choice is not the only moral issue here. Can critique ideas freely chosen too
-
Of course! I criticise people who choose to harm animals or abuse children. I just don't think culture = choice

of course, we can criticise and should say what we feel but people's reasons for wearing them are nuanced
-
And that's what I think should be discussed. Wear it coz pretty, practical, convenient? No problem.

My adopted daughter is half Mauritian. Big, big hair! In India, where humid, wore scarf coz quick & convenient.
