Every White Feminist I have come across will argue until they are blue in the face that women should have the right to decide how to dress themselves. And then those same people are unwilling to stand up for a Muslim woman who wears a hijab or burqa because they ‘don’t believe in it’ or ‘feel like Muslim women are oppressed’. They can’t entirely explain or point to the oppressor. Neither can they acknowledge that they themselves are playing the role of oppressor by impressing their ideology of empowerment on others
It's Not About the Burqa: Muslim Women on Faith, Feminism, Sexuality and Race
