[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]22:47 here. Wanted to thank you, Muslima, for your response. I am a person whose life experience/ cultural context makes me instantly bristle when I see the head coverings so it is very helpful to get a different perspective. [/quote] You're welcome, but why do you feel that way (bristle)?[/quote] I mean that as an American woman, the images I have been presented with are almost entirely and uniformly focused on the idea that the head garments are used by men to oppress women. That it is forced upon them. So if that is what you hear and what you think you know, then the reaction is clearly going to be negative, because of the emphasis in American culture on personal freedom. But your explanation presents me with new food for thought and a different perspective. [/quote]
