It’s never about fabric. It’s always about the ideology behind the fabric: women’s bodies are shame incarnate, too dirty, too beautiful, too much, not enough, dangerous, fragile, in need of control. It’s erasure, with “choose your own reason” enforcement.

I think many people seem to miss that hijab is related to the concept of awrah... The ideology of hijab is that of women's hair equivalent to her vagina.

I don’t understand those commenting that the message of #FreeFromHijab is unclear. How do they not get that this is about women who are forced to wear the hijab by law or physical threat by family, not women who actually have freedom of choice? Willful ignorance is maddening.

It is their desperate attempt to sound secular. Though constitutionally it is your right to practice the religion the way you want and I would not force anyone to take it off ever. But it is so wrong to glorify it when we know it is either forced or indoctrinated in the system.

How far is the distance... Hijab is just fabric on the head Male guardian is just guy 'helping' you with decisions in life Honor killing is just a father/family being very strict. As you've said, if these are not ok being applied to Western women, why are they ok anywhere else?
