OP, I don't see how you can write "the intent of my post was not to discuss whether hijab was mentioned in the Quran."

It wasn't, as you know. Hijab/niqab are not mentioned in the Quran.

That is unavoidably going to color the views that you asked for. A natural extension of this is to ask why, then, women do wear hijab or niqab. It seems hypocritical to fein surprise, as you're doing, that many attribute the veil to patriarchal cultures or to family oppression, and ask why you can't demonstrate modesty without it. You can't close your eyes to this long-standing, global debate about the veil. [/quote]

PP again. You say your parents and DH didn't force you. But you still listened to a bunch of turbans from very patriarchal cultures. I'm guessing you aren't looking for a pat on the back from DCUM--in your first post you basically acknowledged you knew the responses you were going to get here (and nobody even mentioned terrorism and the whole awful Trump line). Were you thinking that victimhood is an easy way to validate your decision?

This leaves a bad taste in my mouth.[/quote]
Western women condescension for the savages, how typical. [/quote]
