No. It’s nowhere near similar to a government ban. It’s ONE company that has chosen not to support rape culture. Plenty of other retailers in France still sell hijabs, including Nike. The govt is not involved. No one said anything about removing it ever.https://twitter.com/jordanreiter/status/1101270461554573313 …

This is the second time you're retweeting this even after I said I would remove myself from the conversation. You are conveniently omitting the fact that the company was receiving death threats. And I think we all know the long term goals of the people threatening Decathlon.

I am sorry you experienced abuse and repression from the Muslim religion. That is not the experience of all Muslim women including women I have known or been friends with. I understand how the hijab can be used as a tool/symbol of oppression, but it is not always so.

This is such a beautiful piece of
#mansplaining. I wish I could bronze it. Yes, thanks. I grew up Muslim and lived half my life in Muslim majority countries; I’m aware. Do you also go into cancer wards to inform the dying ppl that you’re sorry but ‘not everyone gets cancer’?1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

If they insisted on giving everyone chemo, probably.

What is that analogy? Are you again referring to your erroneous claim that a sports retailer is now somehow forcing women to remove their hijabs? Have I not addressed that?

No sorry I'll admit the analogy is a bit muddy. And that hasn't really been my argument. It's more that efforts to restrict access to hijabs via things like death threats or boycott campaigns is unlikely to bring about the actual necessary structural change.

I personally think the most effective way is to strengthen and center the voices of empowered Muslim women, present strong role models to young women, pressure foreign repressive governments when possible, and enforce existing legal frameworks to protect and empower women.

And also not normalize modesty culture by selling its tools in your stores.
