For the first time ever, Barbie is wearing a hijab. The new doll is modeled after Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad and is part of broader effort by Mattel to diversify the Barbie line https://cnn.it/2OrQ7to pic.twitter.com/IWJkWIHKnU
I still do not understand why this is a good thing. It isn’t the hijab a creation of men to oppress women? I’m not joking here and I’m not being right wing. As a college graduate with a women’s studies minor I do not get this at all

The hijab is a form of modesty and my right to worship God, not a sign of oppression. Do you ask this of nuns or other religions who practice modesty? If a woman has the right to take off her clothes, then doesn’t she have a right to put on clothes? It’s a matter of choice!
-
No, I don’t agree with nuns wearing habits for the same reason. But I do appreciate your response and respect your choice.

It's not a choice in that religion.

My friend and I discussed this the other day. Agreed. It's for jealous men to feel comforted knowing no one can check out their girl. Insecurity dates back millennia.

is all I can say. Sigh.

I agree that hijab can be a tool of oppression. I do believe it was created by men. However, if you acknowledge that hijab is something created by man, you also have to acknowledge that all religious rules were. All religions were created by men.
-
Completely agree.

Hmm...keep in mind the snake handling evangelicals would tell you YES! It's oppressive! They're the same ppl who believe women should wear skirts/dresses below knee,be "modest"(their version) and man can subjugate the wife - 2nd Peter/Bible Evangelicals=a danger to our society.

hijab is never a choice, women are killed , jailed, suffer if they don't wear it .. Supporting it means supporting these practices against women..

Women in China used to have their feet bound. Tradition is a very powerful thing, be it good or bad.

You're correct, the head covering is a tribal tradition which is purely a mechanism of control. But, because "the right" don't like it, cultural marxists will support it. The enemy of my enemy and all that. You're right to call BS, even more so after your WS indoctrination.

Always strikes me as a little Orwellian. Slavery is freedom. Forcing women to wear head scarves is liberating them.

You can thank liberals for regretting enlightenment. They say we need to go back to the Dark ages. Ain't that a b.i.t.c.h.
