You know, this is a fair point, but there's a few differences.
Not all jobs require a suit, there's a lot of choice (you could get through life never wearing one). Its also only required during working hours. Not around the clock. Women have been killed over these expectations. Its not the same.
Is that really what you think muslims support?? Can you not conceive of people wanting to wear a hijab?? And even if not, why is it so hard to accept that it's just a fact when they say it??
I can conceive of an individual woman wanting to wear one. However every woman I have known who wears one does because she must if she is to follow her religion and her society's norms and her family's dictates which would indicate that she doesn't actually have the choice not to. I tend to believe that Muslim woman have a choice when they choose not to wear one because they often face abuse from other Muslims.
"they" are just a gray mass to you aren't they? "They" clearly aren't individuals in your eyes but a cudgel to wield against west asians under the pretense of human rights. Hundreds of millions of women all the same to you because they arent european...
Oh, sorry. Let me try that again. Hijab wearing women are forced to wear hijabs because their religion calls for them to be killed if they're not wearing a hijab, some hijab wearing women would like to wear a hijab but other hijab wearing women would prefer not too, although they're still forced to if they would like to stay alive.

this is just wrong.
I know it is, I don't agree with it in the slightest, everyone should be free to wear what they want!
