It’s outside the scope of the conversation because while you have more examples of legally-enforced hijab, you also have orders of magnitude more women wearing them in societies without such compulsion, so you’re still not providing any evidence to back up your point, which so far boils down to “this isn’t common in my society so it’s bad”.
No, it’s universally bad - not just in my society.
I think we both agree that telling women what to wear is wrong. The rest of the disagreement seems to boil down to how much each of us thinks they truly have the freedom to choose. I doubt you’ll change my mind on that, and it seems I won’t change yours either - but that’s okay, because I think we’re still on the same page when it comes to the core belief in bodily autonomy.
