I also fight for the end of laws that force a woman to wear a hijab. But somehow, some people who insist their concern is Muslim women’s agency lose all interest when it comes to protecting Muslim women’s right to wear it,per their free choice, & call my beliefs “rape culture”.https://twitter.com/YasMohammedxx/status/1101883897363591168 …

Unless you apply the same logic to menonites, nuns, the amish, and the like, you arent for freedom, you are for your version of it.

The same logic is applied to them. I’m against all of it. I’m especially against it in Muslim communities because that’s my community/experience and because, unlike your examples, women are currently being beaten, attacked w acid, imprisoned and killed for not wearing hijab.

I don’t presume to speak for all women who wear Hijab, for one.

lol I think that women should be given the choice to be modest. Also, “hijab” isn’t just a physical head covering it’s also about manners when approaching the opposite gender. It also applies to males. Please don’t confuse culture and religion.

Of course they should. They have every right to wear hijab. No one said they didn’t. Women participate in rape culture every day in many different ways. If they didn’t, it wouldn’t exist. These societal structures can’t be held up without women actively participating.

Fascinating take. Just watched the Iranian film The Salesman. Disturbing, and validates your comment.

There are elements of rape culture in the discourse surrounding hijab but that doesn’t mean many women don’t make a choice to cover. Modesty empowers some, that isn’t rape culture.

STOP
TELLING
WOMEN
WHAT THEY CAN & CANNOT DO WITH THEIR BODIES WHAT THEY CAN OR CANNOT WEAR. This is just another interation of society policing how women dress—you can’t conflate someone’s personal choice with oppression and pretend as if you aren’t stripping them of choice -
She is arguing her point not forcing it on anyone. Like you are getting your say. Its entirely possible that you have made an informed choice. If possible, see it as another perspective but maybe one that doesn't apply to you,

Surprised no Muslims are making this point:
#Metoo
demonstrated how pervasive sexual exploitation is in Western society. In Hollywood, sports, the newsroom, finance. The Islamic view on modesty isn't necessarily wrong. And the West really has no authority on the subject now. - 1 more reply
