The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch is Now Live
Realm Restarts Scheduled — Wednesday May 1
Rest in Peace Joana (from Joana's Leveling Guides)
Void Elf starting pet?
MMO-Champion
I don't understand this logic. They want to fight to be oppressed?
Just a recent boxing article I read concerning head gear.
Why would you make this a fight? I would be fighting to not have to wear some bullshit on my head 24/7. It seems so damn oppressive to me.
Someone please school me on this fight please.

Telling them they can't, is not much different than telling them they must. Freedom goes both ways.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

Hijab protects their head better than a helmet from their husband's fist?

Indoctrination runs deep.

I thought that having a world wide venue you would want to make the world see you not having to do something. I don't get it.

Religion is a powerful tool to keep people in check. Don't see what is so hard to understand about it.

If they want to wear it, more power to em. They just shouldn't be forced to.

It's indoctrination. I recently saw this video about a group of mothers justifying female genital mutilation, their reasons were incredibly misogynistic and a lot of them boiled down to it's the norm.

Hijabs are nice. And it's weird to /not/ wear one when you're used to it.
If you want to pretend to fight oppression, target burkas instead.

It is a religious thing, go argue against the religious belief that spawns the want to wear a Hijab, but that will open the flood gate to critiquing a lot of religious beliefs. She isn't being forced against her will to wear it so what is the issue here.
Bolded for emphasis.

I'm obviously not qualified to understand women and their hats.

First reply in this thread pretty much summed it up.

Because some women don't consider it to be oppressive, some of them actually wants to wear it for religious reasons. Originally Posted by Jayburner

If you are being told all your life to do something, because it is right, the norm, etc., guess what you are very likely to do?
So, in short, indoctrination, be it religious or not.

She going to glue it on or something. Seems like that hijab would come off mighty quick in a boxing match.

Religion? Culture? Tradition? Indoctrination? Forced by their loving husbands?
Who knows.
