      I am not OP, and I cannot speak to whether these women are doing it for fashion. The way I see it, it’s no different than Buddhist monks wearing some kind of robe and shaving their heads, it’s an expression of religiosity. It’s a personal choice, I guess. Like it’s a feminist’s choice to be a homemaker.

      That said, I am not tolerant of discrimination based on one’s own religious beliefs. I don’t care if someone wears a nikab or cross or yarmulke, but I do care if they oppress someone else’s rights based on their beliefs. That shit don’t fly with me

      Edit because I can’t type when distracted lol

        The majority of places that women wear this are forced to. Let’s not pretend it’s something the majority just love to do. Iran is literally killing their women because their women do not want to wear this.
