Reply to comment by Latter_Guest4236 in Kerala Muslim women burn hijab in solidarity with Iranian movement | Watch by sirbarani

Context matters. I don't think Reddit at large has ever supported mandatory and the theocratic oppression of what women can wear. But a woman can also decide to wear what she wants, religiously motivated or not. Islamophobia is not cool, and neither is systemic oppression.

Only meant you could find a lot of Reddit posts supporting hijabs.

It was about freedom of choice then and its about freedom of choice now.

The issue for supporting hijabs is whether women truly have a choice. Unfortunately hijab supporters are not all on board with that.

People don't consider that the CHOICE itself is what is sexist. WHY is it even a thing to start with? Because it comes from a time when women were PROPERTY of men around the Babylonian days. Islam just perpetuated it further, and in 2022, around 4,00 years after the headscarf was first introduced, it time to just rid of this stupid, childish, inhumane, and outdated behavior.
