1. Telling people that they can't dress the way they want to is a direct violation of the right to self-expression.
2. Victimising muslim women for the way they (are forced to) dress does nothing to combat the real issues of patriarchy and misogyny in islam.
3. Marginalising muslims for a dress-code only prevents the type of constructive communication that's required to modernise the traditional (medieval) practices.
You have no idea how much women suffer from their men forcing them to wear this shit, even when it's fucking hot in the summer.
They are helpless and they need an outside intervention by the name of human rights and mercy .
1. yes, if what they want to wear is a stupid dress that doesn't reveal their identity and treats women like garbage bags
2. no, it does; It shows them that there are other opinions out there and their ideas are stupid.
3. no one is telling them what to wear; Just a certain stupid dress is not allowed.
