Remember back when liberals thought that symbols of women's oppression were wrong? Good times. @HPluckrose

I don't think they always are; I'm sure many women who wear these things do so willingly.

There's a difference between willingly and choice. Coercion, inculcation, etc not exactly true freedom

And it's tied to notions of virtue & modesty. No objection to scarves worn for aesthetic reasons.

My grandmother (catholic) wore a scarf every day. But she wasn't threatened with acid to the face if she didn't

Well, that's the choice part of it. The biggest part. The other part is the values attached to it.

She's not wearing it because she thinks women have a specific duty to be 'modest.' That idea I object to.

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.
