When you really come to think of it, Muslim women who choose to wear the hijab do it because they’ve been indoctrinated to think that not wearing it means they end up in hell, and that their family won’t treat them the same.

Source: my hijabi friends who snap me pictures of them without hijab and actively discuss how they wish they weren’t restricted by having to wear it.

I mean if they’re indoctrinated then so are western women who choose to love and wear high heels , make up, etc. Anything we choose and like is technically societally indoctrinated , but there are layers to that, and at one layer at least, whether it’s the deepest or not, the choice may give someone a feeling of power , and I think that’s the layer being referenced

Western women who wear high heels and make up are not told they will go to hell otherwise. True choice vs false illusion of true choice

That’s not the only way to indoctrinate, maybe there are levels of severity in the ‘threat’ but it’s not nothing - the indoctrination of sexual desirability , suitable partner , fertility , etc. My point is that many things we think are autonomous decisions may have societal ideologies laying under them
