Right, so it's the women's fault that some men can't curb their sexual appetites and they have to cover up? Wouldn't it have been more fair to put a chastity belt on the men who weren't able to keep their hands and penises to themselves?
And no, I don't say that every muslim woman is oppressed, quite a few girls at my high school chose to wear scarves, even though their families were moderate, in order to preserve the culture. I just find the beginnings for this practice unfair and oppressive.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
