I saw a post on the feminism subreddit today saying hijab is anti feminist. I was surprised to see how many agreed with this statement and all the support the poster got in the comments, which included really hurtful things said towards my hijabi sisters
I thought being a feminist meant we support women's choices about their bodies? So if someone wants to cover their body, why is that a problem?
The poster goes on to say it's anti feminist, backward and oppressive. I am so fucking sick and tired of women having to justify wearing the hijab as well as not wearing it. And I won't lie, a feminist sub is the last place I thought I'd find people arguing about whether hijab should be worn or not
There are women out there who are being forced into it and some who aren't being allowed to wear it. It all comes down to women having lost their freedom of choice and rights in the matter and that makes me angry. That should make these so called feminists angry, not seeing someone in hijab
Yes, some women in the comments actually said seeing a woman in hijab makes them angry. Like that isn't because it's going against your feminist beliefs, it's just because you're Islamophobic.
Anyway I made a comment about it and it got deleted, then when I tried to make a post instead, I got banned from the subreddit lmao so much for women supporting women
But to all my ladies who support each other no matter what, and have each other's backs, I see y'all, and I have so much love for y'all
Also for people who say you cant be a hijabi and a feminist, fuck them. You do you sis
