As for the rest, I can tell you as a woman in western society, that I feel oppressed and violated by the pornographic nature of our culture and that wearing hijab made me feel removed from that violation of my femininity. I felt I had reclaimed something that had been taken from me. It does NOT feel oppressive.
All I can do is share with you how it feels from my perspective. |
I know. I appreciate your view and above all I appreciate your courage. I'm sure many women want to wear it but are to afraid to.
You chose to wear it so logically it doesn't feel oppressive. Some women, on the other hand, have to wear it. I believe most don't find it oppressive as it is commanded in a book they strongly believe in, but some do. And those do not have the right to put it off. If they did, they could face prosecution. Now that's oppressive.
