Afghan schoolgirls are weeping as they finish sixth grade, knowing their education is over. Under Taliban rule, they are unlikely to ever step foot in a classroom again.
As someone with Muslim family, they will tell you that it is the women’s choice. That they prefer to cover themselves from head to toe, even in blistering heat. The actual choice is to bite their tongue and wear it, or choose to deal with shame, humiliation, mockery, and often times much worse.
The rest of history has shown that women don’t choose that kind of clothing when they have free will.
That they prefer to cover themselves from head to toe, even in blistering heat.
Please don’t be ignorant
“The authors also concluded that the typical Bedouin costume has the same effects whether it is black or white. The black color does absorb more heat, but it does not reach the skin, so the color of the fabric is not important. The thickness of the fabric of these garments also favors better absorption of temperature, preventing it from reaching the skin.”
While true that covering clothing can protect from the sun, it doesn’t do anything indoors. Yet women still wear them indoors. Also, if that’s the reason they are worn, why don’t men cover themselves similarly?
Don’t be ignorant of the fact that women are raped or killed for not wearing them in some places. Look up Mahsa Amini if you don’t believe me.

Precisely. Nobody should be forced to wear clothing in any faith that they don’t want to.
