Opinion of the Hijab

[JA]

As a piece of clothing, it is really not that unique. There is a long tradition of women covering their heads in European Christian societies. Think of all the pictures you see of Eastern European peasant women with covered heads, or even of 1950s-60s British housewives. Catholic nuns still do cover their heads.

it is the sociology of the Hijab that is depressing, particularly its rise across the Islamic world (including places like Indonesia where it was traditionally not worn), as well as in immigrant communities in Europe that, even 10-20 years ago, were fairly secular.

In the 1970s, Muslim women protested being forced to wear Islamic veils, in 2017, they protest using them as a sign of progressive feminism. Pretty obvious HC, since the hijab depreciates women by forcing them to cover themselves up.

Based on that logic alone, you must also agree that laws prohibiting women publicly displaying their nipples are horrible as well. Both pertain entirely to a socially constructed perception of right and wrong regarding appropriate clothing for the female sex.
