I have heard this sentiment before.

But this OP feels like it was written by chatGPT or some cheaper AI bot.

No, I don’t think you’re particularly empowered because you no longer “have to” worry about wrinkles on your forehead. Empowered would be not worrying about them at all and loving your face the way it is.

But I do think you’re empowered by choosing whatever the heck you want to wear so… enjoy!

I think the reason behind it is to police women's looks, mobility and agency, and to make male lust the responsibility of women. You can put it on but you can't take it off. It's not a choice in Iran where women are taking them off as an act of rebellion.

Agree 💯.

+1. So many DCUM posts these days seem to be written by AI.

Wow that's a bad take.
In some places women are forbidden women from driving cars. Would that mean that sitting in a passenger seat is always a symbol of male oppression?

In some places women aren't allowed to work out of the house. Is WFH (hello COVID!) always a symbol of male oppression?

Some women get raped!
Is having sex with a man always symbol a male oppression?

Context matters.

Anti hijabers, why don't you go out every day in a bikini?

If not ChatGPT, definitely a troll

You don't have to style or worry about your hair in public. Don't need the latest clothing. Op said it helps her feel less conscious about wrinkles so she's probably not getting Botox. Women spend hours and lots of time on beauty. We have a community here devoted to it. Some African Americans wear wigs. It frees up time maintaining hair.

Sounds like she’s ugly, fat, doesn’t wash her hair.

Just cover it up with hijab. Easy breezy.

A year from now, try taking it off and see what happens. But enjoy it for a year.

Of course another women shi**ing in her because of her appearance. Covered or not covered you can't win. Women judge way more than men. Better than all these fake eyelash fake animal nail young women.

I personally don't care to wear it but if you do then more power to you. Imho it makes one a target for crazies and whole purpose of hijab was to protect women, not to endanger them.

As far as it helping you save you from vanity, you can be simple, modest and yourself without having to worry about how society wants women to dress or undress.
