This show brings to mind a convo I had with a HS friend regarding wearing her hair covering everyday. Being 17 years old, my belief was all "omg your hear scarf stands for oppressing women!" so I was like "Don't you ever get tired of not putting your hair down and never wearing skirts and stuff?"
Her response was something I reference a lot when people have discssions re: veiling and whether it's oppressive or not.
She said "No. Why would I want some guy looking at me like I'm a piece of meat? Ew." To her, the covering is freedom from some things.
