Apparently, after Marine Le Pen renewed her proposal to ban the hijab in public places if she becomes president of France, several French women, and even some men, posted videos of themselves wearing headscarves in solidarity. France played an important role in the history of feminism, with generations of women fighting against sex-based restrictions and demanding equal rights. Now, some people are presenting the hijab as a symbol of female freedom, even though it comes from religious modesty rules that place a special burden on women and are still enforced against women in parts of the world. Supporters call this personal choice and religious freedom. Critics see a serious contradiction. How did defending a sex-specific religious dress code become an act of feminism? #france #marinelepen #hijab #feminism #womensrights #religion
