My mom wears it, no one tells her to, it’s part of her faith and belief system, dafuq you talking about? I get that it may be forced on some, but def not all, way to paint with a broad brush. It’s more nuanced then either you or @IlhanMN are making it out to be.
To me, the hijab means female subjugation, victim-blaming, and perpetuation of rape culture

If any faith brainwashes girls to obey some misogynistic rules since childhood under the threat of hellfire, then its hardly a choice

Then don’t wear it. Problem solved.

What about all the women who don’t have a choice? The women who are beaten, jailed and murdered for removing their hijab! She is raising awareness for them as she was once forced as well! You have a voice as well, you should use it. Women in the middle don’t have that luxury!

It is a real Islamic "miracle " that a Muslim woman, who according to her prophet is "lacking in intellect " can be in public with a lot of "infidels " around her without a male guardian while her testimony in congres has only half the value of her male colleagues in that body.

"Choice" is a funny way to put it in some contexts. Like, if I "choose" to wear it, not for religious reasons, but because if I don't, people in my community spit on and sexually assault me, have I really made a "choice"?

And a perpetuation of a belief in a god who supposedly is interested in the length of men's trousers and beards and even what shoe you take off first.

All religion is irrational nonsense IMHO, but it is constitutionally protected. And that is fine as long as people don't push their personal superstitious nonsense onto others.
