[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the people who say, "Why do you care?" I answer: Because of that student in a public school in Virginia who was FORCED to put on a hijab, over her protests, for a GEOGRAPHY class. The teacher (well-intentioned, I guess) had no clue that the hijab is for some people a sign of oppression. Just wear it! For fun! To show you're not prejudiced! We'll put your picture in a yearbook! 
Tell women in Iran, in Saudi Arabia, in Kuwait and elsewhere that it's just for fun. THAT'S why I care. As a feminist, and as someone with a daughter in a public school. [/quote]

At least, please do not judge the Muslim women in USA for wearing their headscarf. Life is already hard as it is, they don't need other people to butt in, especially from non muslim, no matter how understanding you are.

This is not feminist issue. If you have issue with one person, take it directly to her, don't stereotyping the rest of them.

Best if you ask the Muslim women with headscarf directly why they wear headscarf.

When men as well as women are required to cover their heads (and bodies and faces), then it's not a feminist issue. As long as it is only women who bear these burdens, you bet it's a feminist issue.[/quote]
