Fuck hijabs and Islam.
Fuck christofascists and tradwives.
Fuck hindu nationalists and caste systems.
Fuck any and every religion that insists they need to impose their ways on others to be in good favor with their God. Fuck them in any and every form.
Hijab is supposed to be voluntary under Islamic scripture. Islam does not include anything about having to impose anything on others. Attempting to downvote you results in a server error.
Can anybody with more knowledge about this explain this? I don't know much about islam but i thought husbands and/or fathers would force women to wear them?
The root of the thing is that Islamic teachings require practitioners to dress modestly.
Interpretations of this range from "cover your sex bits" to "don't show an inch of skin to anybody except your husband".
While its true there are outliers like fundamentalists who go to extremes and progressives who deny many rules, there are four major schools in (Sunni) Islamic law that the majority of people follow and they all take at the very least the ruling that the covering for women is everything except her face, hands and feet - when among men who she legally can marry ("mahram").
