Me, on the western-centric orientalising nature of intersectional feminism.https://conatusnews.com/western-centric-intersectional-feminism/ …

Wearing a hijab in the US is more an act of bravery than acquiescence to oppression. Likely to be met with harassment or discrimination.
-
It could be both at the same time.
-
Doesn't have to be though. Plenty of Western women wear a hijab as religious expression. Full stop. Feminism includes respecting that, no?
-
No. Feminists don't have to respect religious gender-specific modesty codes or religion. They shld respect the right to choose them tho.
-
That doesn't make sense to me. You can't respect a choice without respecting the act. That's like hating the sin but loving the sinner.

Eg I can respect a gay man's right to be celibate coz he thinks gay sex is a sin. I don't have to respect the idea that gay sex is a sin.
