Anthony Kellett | Hijab – Freedom to Choose; but, not a Symbol of Freedom @AnthonyKellett | Uploaded December 2018 | Updated October 2024, 44 minutes ago.
Many, in the West, seem to have developed a strange attitude towards the hijab. They’re trying to embrace it as a rather bizarre symbol of unity and acceptance.
I’m led to believe some people like wearing handcuffs, in the bedroom. I believe they should be free to do so; each to their own, as the saying goes. However, I wouldn’t consider wearing handcuffs as a symbol of freedom.
I see the hijab no differently. The very fact that many women have it imposed upon them, contrary to their wishes, negates the suitability of such symbolism, in my opinion.
By the way, for those continually whining about the “Western patriarchy”, take a look at Iran. That is a patriarchy in action.
