Yeah if you don't wear it you get beaten... Totally not forced.

How many women wearing hijab do you actually know, to come to the conclusion they would all get beaten and forced to wear it?

Because from the women i know none of them is forced to do so. And given that noone is around that could force them, as they are expats and they are exposed to plenty women not wearing hijab, both nin religious and muslim, i am certain that they choose to wear hijab on their own accord.

I bet the male dominated and generally oppressive culture behind it has nothing to do with their willingness, out of their own volition, to decide to wear it.

Nothing at all.

Next time i'll see her i'll ask the researcher with a Phd in physics who lived in western countries since 15 years, if she is too stupid to realize the difference between the village she grew up in and the great European countries were millions of liberators like you are waiting to liberate her by forbidding her to wear a hijab at work.

I know enough women who were forced to wear hijab by their families and most of them nowadays have gotten away from their families and havent spoken to their families in years. Also one of the families tried to lure their daughter to Iran and another family were stopped at the airport after one of the women told border police that she was at the airport against her will.

A lot of women are totally forced to wear hijab.
