I ran into an interesting video on YouTube. Although I knew about the hijab ban (among other oppressive policies toward both Muslim men and women) in Turkey, it was cool to hear a non-Muslim woman's thoughful commentary on the issue.
Mashallah! What a great video. Many so-called feminists are surprisingly intolerant of a woman's right to dress un-provocatively. I think they're not very educated about what feminism really is: a woman's right to be whatever she wants (and that definition should include 'devout Muslim'!)

ReplyDeleteAre you sure that the "so-called feminists" want women to dress provocatively?
ReplyDeleteI thought feminist hostility to hijab was driven by hostility to femininity itself (which they view as something imposed on women by the patriarchy).
