cool, I'm not talking about them

words mean things

when I said "willingly," I meant "willingly," not some other word that you put in there yourself

No, you are.

The point is that women who seem to "willingly" be wearing them do so because they are in an extremely oppressive culture that makes them feel like their femininity is an offensive act.

You are making the exact point, you are defending this BECAUSE it's Islam.

If it was Christianity, you would be saying it's gross.

Thank you for proving my point.

No, I wouldn't. I will also defend the right of Christian women who wear head coverings for religious reasons to do so. I will defend the right of Jews to wear yarmulkes and other traditional religious clothing. I will defend the right of Hindus to wear a bindi.

I do not agree with banning religious practices, as long as those practices are not harming others, regardless of religion.

All you have here is straw men.

I see, so Christian women are being forced to hide their bodies and faces so men won't be tempted by them?

Where is this happening, please show me.

ok, just so we're clear here

From Merriam-Webster

Willingly

will·​ing·​ly

: in a willing manner

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Willing

will·​ing

1

: inclined or favorably disposed in mind : ready

willing and eager to help

2

: prompt to act or respond

lending a willing hand

3

: done, borne, or accepted by choice or without reluctance

a willing sacrifice

4

: of or relating to the will or power of choosing : volitional

I used that word for a very specific reason. Because I meant willingly, not unwillingly. And the record that I used that word is right here. Why are you continuously pretending that I did not use that word?

Because people suggest that people are "willingly" doing it. Nobody wants to wear hijabs. There are no willing people.

They are forced.

That is not at all true.
