Why do so many people think that Muslim women that wear hijabs are oppressed?

Question

People know nothing about the religion, wearing hijabs is a personal choice for Muslim women and so the the Muslim women that wear it (from my knowledge) wear it as a signifier for their devotion to Allah.

(If I got anything wrong & a Muslim person is in my comments please feel free to educate me ^^ research about this on google is very limited)

Why do so many people think that Muslim women that wear hijabs are oppressed?

Because people are ignorant AF and love to act like they're experts on something that they're just judging by it's bad reputations, people just love to go by association, whether it's by race, gender, sexuality, etc.

Yeah, I get it, in some Islamic countries women don't get much rights and are forced to wear that and even the Niqab sometimes, but not everyone is.

My own family are Muslim and my sister and Mum wear it due to their own choice, no one is forcing them to do anything.

I get that some interpretations of religion view it as mandatory, but doesn't Christianity view sex before marriage as a sin and yet how many Christians does that stop - to what extent a person follows their own religion is their own choice and not all interpretations say the hijab is mandatory e. g. many Quranists don't and I went from a Sunni Muslim, to a Quranist, before leaving and becoming an agnostic, which I still currently am.

Whilst I do myself come from a Muslim family, I openly left the religion about half through 2017 and I'm pretty sure I'm not dead, I didn't get disowned and I still live with my family and they don't treat me any differently than anyone else.

Due to the above, people may think why did I leave Islam then - well if you want my explanation, I went all out in my answer over here:

What made you lose your faith?

Due to being raised a Muslim, I can definitely say that Islam does depend on how one interprets it, so not everyone believes in this violent BS, oppressing women, etc, at least not to the extent that some think and based on what I've read in the Quran (supposed to be the primary source of Islam), back when I were a Quranist, I found killing apostates to be against the Quran, stoning to death is only mentioned as something prophets were threatened with, fighting is only during wars, which only apply in self defense and the Quran tells you not to 'sit with such evil people, until they change the subject', as in people who commit blasphemy.

The Hadiths are the main issue TBH, I mean people tend to attack Muhammed when they think Islam is bad, as Muslims are supposed to follow his example and the Hadiths are where it tells you to stone adulterers to death, kill apostates, etc.

However, the Quran is supposed to be the primary source of TRADITIONAL Islam, whilst the Hadiths are the secondary sources, so I don't see how the secondary sources can contradict the primary source, at least in topics the Quran already covers, especially when not all the secondary sources are considered authentic, with some even contradicting each other, so if you reject the bad ones, deeming them to be unauthentic, then that's at least no where near as bad as the 'radical thugs'.

People can question whether or not the peaceful Muslims are following the religion properly, but don't forget, there's not different Muslim sects for nothing and everyone thinks they're right, with some traditional ones thinking, the none-traditional ones, aren't true believers, etc.

Omggg who is this beautiful woman on the first pic and 2nd pic? They blew my mind awaaaayyyyyy. I wanna propose xD!!! Those eyes literally kill me. Thats my type. Those eyes are my type.

To answer your question. I am a Muslim (fully believing and practicing, but i ain't nothing close to a saint just saying) and lived in United Arab Emirates, Syria, and a little bit in Lebanon and Jordan for a total of 18yrs. Most women will wear hijab as a choice. However, there are also a minority of them that did NOT choose to wear hijab. Some rather strict parents (usually the father) will habituate the baby daughter to wear Hijab at young age like 5 yr old or so. And so the daughter grows up having gotten used to wearing Hijab. Now... people are different and some will grow up and be religious in their heart and some will not. That being said, there will be a lot of non-religious Muslim girls who wear the Hijab just cause they got used to it and most importantly cause they fear taking it off because of what people will say (friends and people who know her will look badly at her if she decides to take it off and some people will scold her especially her parents). So. Especially here in Canada, I've seen a bunch of "Hijabi" girls who once they leave the house will take the Hijab off. And when they are about to return home will put it back ON. I also saw Hijabi girls who will literally drink and have SEX outside and they dont care that they are wearing Hijab (i was seeing a girl who was like that). And this whole thing disturbs me to many degrees. Non-religious girls should NOT wear Hijab if they are going to do bad things outside as they will give bad name and bad examples to what they "represent".

Anyway so yeah. Most girls are not forced. But some of them kinda are cause of strict parents doing it wrong.

Now most importantly... who is that woman? I wanna propose to her 🙃🙃

hi_it_is_me123 · Accepted Answer

Even if a hijab has oppressive meaning, a woman still can wear it by choice although it depends on the country. I dont care if a person want to be oppressed by choice. My problem with it is that many muslim women in iran and other islamic countries are forced to wear it or many of them are pressured to wear it including me. Only lucky muslim women with modern/open minded family in western countries where their rights are protected can really choose. I know many muslim women who says that they wear by choice but as soon as they take it off they get so much hate by their muslim community. You can search any muslim girl's youtube video about taking hijab off and can see the dislike/like ratio and hate comments. By the way if you live in countries such as austria, germany etc you have to understand thst such countries ban nazi sympols, ultra nationalistic symbols of foreign countries, racist, sexist symbols etc. So if hijap has opressive sympol it may be banned in such countries but it would not make sense and it would be hypocritical to ban hijab in america since there is a unlimited freedom of speech and i dont know any symbols that is forbidden in america. I personally think kids should not be forced/pressured to follow any religion/political idealogy/life styles such as veganism etc.

AngelLily · Accepted Answer

I believe it's Kind of a requirement.

: Quran 24:31 And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss.

RolandCuthbert · Answer

Most don't. I think everyone knows this is an issue of choice. In some Muslim societies, women are forced to wear the hijab. They are denied the right of deciding if they want to or not. In Western societies, the claim is made that forbidding the hijab is about freeing women. But it isn't. It is about control. They want control over what Muslim women can choose to do. Because again, Muslim women are denied the choice.

It reminds me of when Halle Berry played in Monster's Ball and did that graphic sex scene. Many in the "Black" community were upset that she would do that scene with Billy Bob Thornton, a "White" man. Halle Berry made the point, it was her body and her choice. That the struggle for "Black" women in America has always been about whether or not they could choose to be sexy, wear sexy clothes or not. "Black" women simply wanted the same choice that other women had. The choice over whom they choose to have sex with. That choice was taken away in slavery, Jim Crow, etc.

And she did the movie because she wanted to show herself and everyone else that she could choose.

But racism isn't all that deep.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I have zero problems with it, the most hassle I’ve seen about is within the Muslim community.

here in the UK it’s very mixed, you will have

burkha
hijab (separating out scarf)
Hijab (with niqab)
I think even Chador
We also have shayla.
then you have the simple head scarf not quite a full Hijab but simple head scarf.

the vast majority of people do not care what others wear (I don’t like the burkha as I do see that as too controlling, but that’s me)

now the biggest group that comment on these codes are actually Muslims themselves, as depending on where they are from, personal history etc, they all have different views, which are valid as I am simply outside looking in.

Some Islamic countries are also more diverse and ‘controlling’.
for example Turkey and it’s view on head scarves over last 100 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headscarf_rights_in_Turkey

https://www.dailysabah.com/opinion/columns/turkish-politics-and-discussions-on-islamic-headscarf

So if you went back 10 years in Turkey, then yes women were oppressed for wearing head coverings as they could not hold civil positions, education, military etc.

Nahid1707 · Answer

perhaps, i would date a girl that wore a Hijab often.

i personally haven't met one as a friend type of way, where i live here in England.

i haven't met one that seemed interested in wanting to spend time with, who was attracted in me and who was interested in me romantically.

i would think she was a good person and a good Muslim girl if she wore a hijab.

i wouldn't judge her because she wore a Hijab.

She could be cute, haha.

''Do i Look at her clothes?'' can you explain that question? i don't mind what a girl wears as long as she is good and comfortable in wearing her clothes.

i don't approach girls.

i don't approach girls often because they seem busy, they seem not interested in wanting to talk to me in public, haha.

i seriously think young people Lose interests in others easily.

if i met a girl that was patience with me, where she enjoys being around me, if she told me, she enjoys being around me, that would be good thing and it could help me and the girl spend more time together.
time is a good way of getting to know someone.

many things would be better, having similar music taste, having a good understanding, communicating good between me and the girl. they would help things to be good.

SpiderManFan2002 · Answer

Hey, I’m a Muslim girl who wears the hijab- so hopefully I’ll be able to give you and anyone reading this, an insight into the hijab. So Islamically is wearing the hijab a choice for women? It depends what you mean by “choice.” Choice could mean something that Islamically isn’t mandatory but it’s good if you do, or “choice” could mean does she decide to wear the hijab herself or is she forced by another person to wear it? Wearing the hijab in Islam, is not optional- it’s a religious obligation. As Muslims we have obligatory acts such as praying 5 times a day, not drinking alcohol, fasting in Ramadan, and much more, and then we have optional acts- these aren’t mandatory but it’s good if a Muslim does them, like extra prayers after the obligatory prayers, fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, praying Tahajjud (the night prayer). And wearing the hijab is something that is an obligatory act, after a girl has hit puberty.

NorthAfrican · Answer

Because they don't know any Muslim woman in real life yet they love talking in our names and think we're children in need of a white knight to save us.
And no offense to white men and western men more generally but I feel like they like using "muslim men" as an example to deflect their own issues with their women. Like the "you say white man bad but look at Muslim men" trope. Whataboutism. Seriosuly pathetic.

It's frankly annoying. They should Stop speaking in our behalf 😒.

electromagnetic · Answer

I could honestly be wrong about this but a friend told me the concept of wearing loose clothing and hijabs came after a lot of women were sexually assaulted at night when they went to do their business outside. Basically, by dressing the same, no one would be able to figure out who was a slave and who was a free women or a women of nobility making it equal for anyone to testify against the one that caused them harm.
Muslim women have always been granted opportunity to inherit wealth, seek education, find suitable mates, and own property LONG before modern age. Being oppressed and refused to do basic thing is a cultural practice rather than a religious one.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Some are by choice mostly in western countries it is a choice thing. But in the east not so much. There it can be forced. Girls have legit been killed for no wearing them so...
Also the idea behind it is sexist ideology in the first place, even if a woman wants to wear one fair enough but the ideology of women only wear these and men don't is a double standard that is clearly sexist.

If i said my wife must wear I don't know a top hat silly example i know, otherwise she is immoral and not devoted to my god. But i don't have to cause men just don't have to wear top hats. According to my God. It's 100% a sexist thing. whether it's my belief or not. That very concept is sexist. No matter if the girl agree's.

Monfrere · Answer

Honestly we don't care anymore at this point, let them think whatever they want, hijab will always be a sign of modesty for girls, a command from God, and personally when I see a girl showing cleavage, forget about decency, I find that it is stupid that she is ok and willing to show any man her body like that, instead of treasuring it for her one and only man, and what about guys and their imagination when seeing girls wearing tight clothes.. True hijab DOES protect the girl from such thoughts of men around her. Men are not dumb, and let's not be dumb either. Let each gender do his job to protect society (from imdecency and immoralities, for example hijab discourage cheating), but also men are responsible to control themselves..

pajamasam · Answer

Its western culture clashing wirh middle eastern culture

Western culture encourages women to show off their hair. Women take their hair very seriously and want to show it off in western culture. So it's extremely strange to westerners to see someone choose to conceal their hair. We can't rationalize it. The only way we can rationalize it is "huh I guess someone made her wear it cuz we know she wants to show off her hairstyles"

When in middle eastern culture its a religious thing and hijabs are fashion statements the way hair is a fashion statement here. It's just two different perspectives that either side has trouble understanding.

TheorionMage · Answer

Were you AWARE the custom of 'circumcision' was IMPOSED upon the ancient Hebrews to identify them as 'slaves'? Later, it was adopted not as a sign of animate 'chattel' but instead a mark of 'belonging' in the ritual of 'Bris'.
If your compelled by religious 'police' through censure and physical beatings to observe a custom of dress intended to not 'tempt' Muslim males to lusting thoughts (in many places in the world) THAT is NOT 'free will'.

Any more than the Hollywood's visual embellishment of Princess Leia's MANDATORY harem dress attire in the Court of Jabba the Hut was 'voluntary'.

IMAGINE THAT unseen discussion of the Princess's observance of 'voluntary' dress code!
HOW MANY burly 'handmaidens' did THAT clothing change require?~

HawkPerception · Answer

Because it is. Religion is all man made nonsense. In the case of Islam, it was obviously a group of selfish and manipulative men that decided they didn't want anyone outside of their cult to see their womens beauty. How can you condemn peoples birthday suit? We came into the world naked and clothes are man made. How can anyone believe it's immoral to show your beauty? That belief stems from serious indoctrination. And they use fear to keep people from leaving the religion. Saying if you remove the hijab or burqa or whatever, you go to hell. In the east, many muslim communities have serious consquences for apostasy.

On that note, I can't believe that there are so many delusional people that are religious on the world.

Derekk · Answer

Ignorance mostly. It's a matter of choice, and to wear religious attire in the face of prejudice can be an admirable act.

However, there is tendency for some to think that because most women in the middle east want to wear it, that somehow there's no political repression for Muslim women in the middle east. There definitely still is. If you ask a woman if she wants to wear it in Saudi Arabia, she will certainly say yes. But what about the women who choose not to, or would like to remove it? We must judge oppression by the desires of the minority, not the majority.

Aquariusmystery · Answer

Because people fear what they don’t understand. Here in the UK it’s mainly old white people who hate Muslims and want them gone. They make excuses, calling it threatening and scary. Sorry, weren’t you the same people educated by Nuns at school? Hmmm.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

It may be a personal choice but what is another reason why a muslim woman would wear a hijab other than the dogma?

It is also a personal choice to do anything what the religion tells you to because you're afraid to go to hell. Anyone can lie to others but they cannot lie to themselves.

It is also a personal choice to listen to the core of government just so that you can keep your job or so you wouldn't be demoted.

We can respect their decisions but what lies in their true motives to make such decisions is just something that manipulated them.

If you think they are oppressed so what? It would actually be nice if they just appreciate that we are actually concerned. Not everyone who believes their oppressed forces them to stop wearing hijab.

Aided · Answer

I watched a video from ages ago debating an EU law that allowed employers to prevent workers from carrying religious symbols including a hijab
one of the muslim women that was included (and did wear a hijab) she said that if her employer told her she couldnt wear it she'd quit
if they felt oppressed surely they would pounce at the opportunity to not wear it and be forgived by Alla (I think the god's name is, IM really sorry if I got it wrong or mixed it up I dont know too much about Islam) but they dont
I dont know why I said any of that it doesn't answer your question
people probably think they're oppressed because the religion is telling them to cover up when they might not want to

Commander_Red · Answer

It just comes down to ignorance. And for those who are commenting "BuT In THe MIdDle eAST..." You do know that those governments are predominantly controlled by men who are sexist and extreme in their own right and are in fact committing an Islam sin by forcing women to wear a hijab right?

CookiesAndCream2 · Answer

*rolls eyes*

It's not that people think the hijab is oppressive - compared to a burqa that's a laugh-till-you-think-your-sides-will-split joke - as more it represents their religion. Just as how wearing a cross in some areas or a kippah in other areas results in negative viewpoints.

Nothing more, nothing less. People who say a hijab is "oppressive" are idiots.

Aakash_Hangargi · Answer

There was a time when it was true, people were forced to wear earlier whether they like it or not.

Women used to feel suffocated and didn't want to wear it.

In those days there was no choice if you rebel you would be beaten.

Now things have changed by Will or Law so it's a choice now

It's not a personal choice in all Muslim countries. In some of them it is compulsory.

I don't think its the hijab, Its because in Islamic Countries its obvious that women are treated as lesser than men. I refer to cases were a married woman who was raped, and she received worst punishment than her attacker.

Now that's not exclusively to do with Islam, the Catholic Church doesn't allow women to be priests.

Vulture051 · Answer

because it's NOT really a personal choice, it's something that has been forced upon you but you happen to like it or at least tolerate it. Choose to take it off and your parents/grandparents/imam/etc will be quite unhappy. Choose to remove it in certain countries and you'll DIE.

Nadim171 · Answer

If you live in the west, then it is a choice, but believe it or not, many girls in the west are forced to wear it by their parents. In the middle east however, it is mandatory in many countries, and it historically wasn't a choice, you would have been jailed or executed for not wearing it in an islamic caliphate.

I have ZERO issues with it as long as it's their personal choice.. And you cannot deny this, there are countries out there, where it is simply not a choice, if she chooses not to follow the religious law she can be killed for it. Thankfully I think it's a small handfull countries..

Again if it is her choice I have zero issues with it.. I have a friend of mine that wears them.

Depends on which country we're talking about. In my country, religious women voluntarily wear hijabs. I have never met a woman who was forced into this by her family or husband but I know there are women who are forced to do this.

Because to those of us on the outside it looks like a rule imposed by strict religion or men, not the women themselves. Of course if they choose to then there’s nothing oppressive about it, but I’ve also heard others say they don’t want to but feel they must - that is obviously oppression.

Anonymous · Answer

For SOME it's a personal choice. For others it's the LAW, and for others they are obligated because the radicals in those countries will harass them if they don't.

In countries like Turkey, Tunisia and Lebanon it's a choice. But in others, they wear it because they have been told they must.

So YOU are the ignorant one. Don't common on topics you know nothing about

Actually they wear it because of two reasons
First yes it's a signature that God points at in the Quran, and second it helps girls to hide the parts of their bodies that makes men and some other woman jealous and horny
They liken it to how a shell protects its pearls
Also people think like that because those women simply can't have sex with anyone other than their husband, they think this is upsetting but it's actually their choice

Anonymous · Answer

Because in some nations, it is legally required for women to wear a hijab (like Iran and Indonesia) and in many countries, there is unofficial pressure to do. So in many parts of the world, it actually isn't a personal choice, and there are serious negative consequences for not wearing one.

Solo22 · Answer

I don't think the Hijab itself is oppression. Afghanistan under the Taliban was extreme where they forced women to wear burkas. That being said, many of these women don't really have a "choice" in the matter. There are legal punishments in some countries for women who refuse to wear it, and they also face reprisal from other fundamentalist Muslims (or family members) who consider it mandatory for women to wear it.

SupremeWarlord · Answer

I find these hijabs so hot, I would buy them for my girlfriend (if I had one) and fuck her with them on.

Aham, back to the question, it's because these hijabs are associated with Islam culture, which is pretty known to be a misogynist society, I mean come on, in one of those countries out there the woman has to ask for their husband's permission to do anything, while the opposite is not valid, and that's just wrong double standards, am I wrong?

kkirk4442 · Answer

Probably because so many people have heard and read about how mistreated women are in some Muslim countries. They associate hijabs with Muslims, making the mistake, thinking that all Muslim women are mistreated.

Some of us can recognize propaganda when we read it. Just a few years ago, girls were beaten and driven back into a burning school in the Middle East because they had tried to escape the burning building without wearing abayas.

According to Islam, women have to cover their whole body when they go out from home, so that men cannot see their bodies and think about sex with them but instead of covering whole body, Muslim women had a mended it and use only Hijab. You see Arab and Iranian, and Afghani women in Burqa
