Maybe i'm getting brainworms from twitter and this isn't a real thing and there's nobody defending this, but there is no way in hell hijab is a way to show "modesty in women". I know that there is a lot of westerners who are assholes and prejudiced against muslims and a lot of leftists want to defend them, and you should defend them, but don't do it by defending backwards practices. Hijab objectifies women.
Most of the time, women who wear hijab are pressured into doing it by an external force. It could be their immediate family, their relatives or their neighborhood. This isn't a fucking trope, it's the reality of it. It is very rare to see someone who decides to wear hijab by themselves. Sometimes people who migrate to west choose to keep wearing it as a way to connect themselves back to their home, but it isn't a common reason to wear it.
I'm not saying attack hijab, because it is not your duty to criticize islam as an outsider(and probably you won't have sufficient information nor experience to do so), but when you see some assholes attacking a hijabi woman for her hijab, defend her right to wear what she wants(even if she's forced by her family to wear it), not the hijab.

There are far far more important priorities. While some criticism appears valid on the surface there is also a pervasive stench throughout western attacks on their clothing as simply a method of attacking the people themselves under a smokescreen of western values that will appeal to western people. This "they don't hold our values" approach gets used to drive easy racism to divide the working class.
Separating good faith from bad faith criticism is difficult too. Either way it doesn't matter, any change must come from within and clothing attitudes are unlikely to change until many other more important immediate concerns are addressed. Attacking from the outside is pointless and serves only to divide our working class.
