1. unfriendlyatheist: nikkirani: I don’t get political often but this is such a classic example of the double standards of Western society and the stereotypes about islam and the women in islam! *Click on the picures to get full view* haha you’re wrong both are oppressed internalized misogyny ftw That kind of erases women’s agency. A woman can freely choose to wear a hijab or a habit, without that choice being the result of internalized misogyny. She has the ability to engage with the meaning of her religious practices and decide what they mean for herself. Just as high heels can either be read as either empowering or oppressive, so can a hijab.
