If there is a law stating that all women must cover themselves head to toe, that is an egregious abuse of women's autonomy.That seems like a stretch since some are compliant because they share the same religious beliefs. There are plenty of laws we have which one could view as forced upon us, but many of us may comply without feeling forced because we agree with them.
I'm disappointed that people (I'm not referring to you specifically) who tout themselves as progressives have become apologists for the subjugation of women in the name of religion. It is totally backward and part of why the term progressive no longer holds meaning for me.
I expect this from the RW and I know their game is to condemn all muslims as evil and pit them against christians as good. This does not mean the other side must suddenly come to the defense of religious draconian practices that specifically harm women and girls. I don't care which religion it is. It's wrong.
