I understand. I hope one day that the misogyny associated with them no longer plays a role. I know women who wear it by choice and would not want to see them compelled to take it off either. I feel like this is a sensitive issue and I don't want to upset anyone so I'll be quiet.
Hi Jordan
The hijab is a tool of misogyny. It‘s a physical representation of modesty/shame/rape culture. Women could face acid attacks, beatings, and death if they remove it.
It is an issue we choose to focus on-whether you see value in it or not is irrelevant

No one is compelling them to take it off. Decathlon is a retailer, not the government. And Decathlon is simply choosing not to sell it-they’re not coercing anyone to do anything. Women can still run and swim-if they’re allowed to. And they can still purchase Nike hijabs.

The only thing we women want is to have a choice, which is a basic human right We fight for our right and anyone whose right has been dishonored.

And the US Congress let’s an Islamist from
#Minnesota@IlhanMN wear one in the capital. Knowing full well that it represents misogyny & it violates the separation of church & state. Perhaps, I’m being too hard on Congress? After all they have to please & obey their Saudi mastersThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I thought
#misogyny was the actual hatred of women. Enforced body coverings seem more of an overreaching attempt to protect women, one of the side effects of which has been oppression and subjugation. Not excusing, but most cultures subjugate both women and children somehow. -
