@NichiHodgson can I suggest you follow Yasmine @ConfessionsExMu if you wish to truly understand what wearing a summer dress as an Iranian/Saudi Arabian national would be like compared to a Western country. You will also learn far more regarding the hijab & burka from her.https://twitter.com/NichiHodgson/status/1037089607479910400 …

It's not complicated. Either you can wear what you like as a woman or you cannot. In the West you can. In Iran/Saudi etc you cannot.
If I may add-girls and women are commonly forced in the West as well. It’s not govt forces, but familial/community forces compelling them. Refusing can lead to dire results-including death. Here are just two examples. There are countless more, of course. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqsa_Parvez …pic.twitter.com/m43MMzNXm1

The privileged few that are both in the West and actually have a choice (and a voice—again, because they’re in the West) seem to always be the loudest.

I've been saying this for literally years. Instead of western Muslim women using their freedom of voice, movement and education to end their Eastern sisters' subjugation, they use it to enforce their own. They trade women's rights for minority status & moral superiority for self.
