An Iranian monarchist who filmed herself pulling the headscarves off Iranians in London fled to Israel after UK police announced they were investigating her.
The woman allegedly responsible is an Iranian pro-Israel activist called Bahar Mahroo, who later closed her Instagram and TikTok accounts and claimed she found the videos online. However, a reserve image search found no sources for the video, other than her Twitter account.
I consider an example of “true freedom” as the following:
Don’t ban the hijab, AND don’t force people to wear the hijab. Just let the person decide what they wanna wear, and leave them alone if it makes you uncomfortable. Simple.
How would you realistically enforce that it is not worn involuntarily?
How can you enforce any clothing is worn voluntarily? A partner could coerce someone to dress as modestly / revealingly as they want and you would need to rely on them to say they are being coerced.
Exactly so you ban the clothing that was traditionally used to coerce someone. There is a difference between colored socks and a hijab
Where’s the line? Because controlling men force women to cover up all the time with all sorts of pieces of clothing.
The line is drawn with systemic issues with “culture”. If banning ultimately better for society, then ban it.
Well given that there is some relation to Iran, as a government it would help to not force people to wear it anymore.
In terms of European societies it’s a common allegation that women would be forced to wear it but in countries like France, Germany, UK, etc. it’s usually non-Muslim people speaking about this issue but no one actually speaks to Muslim women and asks them what they want.
So it’s not like there’s actual data on this and I doubt that it’s possible to collect reliable data on this issue. IMO a first step would be to work together with Muslim women instead of patronizing them.
It is just a piece of clothing that goes on your head at the end of the day, how could its presence or absence possibly be offensive?
I also don’t get it but people nowadays obsess over the weirdest things.
Totally. I never understood that either.
It’s the brainwashing that’s the problem.
Let me guess, politicians and religious “scholars” are involved in it… right?
But that is the reason behind theboutright bans, the argument that some people do not get to choose to wear them or not.
This is so stupid. That’s causing the same issue, but in the opposite direction
If you ban them nobody gets to choose to wear them or not…
