For the first time ever, Barbie is wearing a hijab. The new doll is modeled after Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad and is part of broader effort by Mattel to diversify the Barbie line https://cnn.it/2OrQ7to pic.twitter.com/IWJkWIHKnU
Inspiring? Yes, it should be, but we shouldn’t forget the hijab signifies oppression for Muslim women. How many women, & children have been beaten, even killed for not having this on. If anything it will open up discussions & understanding for young girls.

Actually, some women do choose to wear the hijab. It’s the reasons why that are scary. To me it’s misogyny in the name of religion.
