The hijab will never be anything other than a symbol of oppression, no matter how desperately hard you tryhttps://twitter.com/CNN/status/1024034647678885888 …

I don’t even think it’s a symbol of oppression—I think it’s the TOOL of oppression. It is the actual weapon used against women to tell them that vehicles of men’s pleasure&baby making is all they’ll ever be. How Mattel can glorify that in the name of empowering women is beyond me
Mattel can glorify the Hijab because they think they are standing up for the little guy. They aren't. Hijab is used to tell Muslim women they are vessels of lust & sin so they should cover up. So if you are a man who rapes a woman it's her fault. That's what they're empowering

When Muslims make up like 1/4 of the world's population, how does it make sense that they are a "disadvantaged people group", or "the little guy" as you term it?

I am not saying I agree with it. I am saying that's how it's seen. Muslims aren't 1/4 of the global population. It's almost 1/6.

"There were 1.8 billion Muslims in the world as of 2015 – roughly 24% of the global population – according to a Pew Research Center estimate." Maybe you have a better source.
