    What? None of them are choosing to wear it?

    It’s all being forced upon them?

    What about the government now literally forcing them to wear what is ‘acceptable’? That just gets a pass, huh?

      So it’s okay to support a shit tradition meant to oppress women? Tradition that pushes inferiority of women over men?

        You mean support people making decisions for themselves instead of having the government do it for them?

        Yeah, it is okay to support that.

        Not sure why you’re advocating suppressing their culture. Did you completely ignore the first question I asked?
