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

Yup as a member (supposedly) of the Patriarchy I don't get it either. When there is a choice to be made, choose freedom.

The saddest part is that it isn't just against women; it's against *girls*. *Girls* - as young as, what, 5 years old? - told that they are now a sexual object.

That’s true. It’s another thing used to belittle / malign women.

It’s a symbol if it is actually voluntary.
