That's true, but you must surely concede that in certain circles, especially where there is lots of Saudi money corrupting people, there is pressure to 'fit in'. There's a choice and then there's a choice. I think a lot of pressure is put on some women, but because these people didn't force it upon the woman they can easily say: "Well nobody actually 'forced' her to wear this thing".
