I see we're talking about hijabs again. They're a gender-specific modesty device for wearing upon a body part which is not gender-specific so I am not in favour of them. Choice is key - people have the right to endorse gender-specific modesty codes - but it is not everything.

Sometimes people want to make choices based on certain values but not take responsibility for those values. eg, they might want to say that heterosexuality is fine but homosexuality is wrong but then deny responsibility for prejudice against homosexuals.

This doesn't make much sense and reveals a conflict of values. If homosexuality is wrong, then prejudice against it is right and need not be denied. That people wish to deny it strongly suggests an inner conflict between, often religious, beliefs and liberal values.

No-one considers it a problem to be 'phobic' - have a strong dislike and aversion to - something they really think is wrong. That is considered an appropriate response. 'Yes, I have a strong dislike & aversion to muggings."
