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

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

Yes, that too, although parts of UK where niqab has long been commonplace, plus women banned from learning English
@anais_henrix -
Yes. The right to choose is a clear moral right. But it's not the only one.

Even if we can be 100% sure it's a choice entered into willingly, can still criticise the choice.

With the framework in place it's no more a true choice than. DV victim 'choosing' to stay in the relationship
@anais_henrix -
Never mind. If you'd rather focus solely on the ethical issues surrounding choice,that's fine. It is the bigger 1. We agree tho

No it's possible to cover lots of different facets to this. I simply take umbrage with the left pretending oppression is freedom
