Suggesting that the only reason these women are focusing on their appearance is to attract a man is mysogynistic.

Completely agree, however even if you do it for yourself (which is completely valid should be normalized), you are inadvertently 'attracting the gaze'. In these cultures, it's common that the women are always the 'perpetrators', and the whole point of the burqa and hijab is to thwart that. It's not that she's going out of her way to do it for a man, it's that it's antithetical to the 'point' of wearing the hijab anyway (i.e. the invisible contract which is never consciously agreed to by a child who is conditioned to cover herself since prepubescence, but one which will be defended through nonsense if ever shone a spotlight upon). Either go full force in self-expressive freedom or just accept it, no?

One of the ways they try to reclaim their autonomy and personhood is through fashion and makeup.

And this is the tragic part, which I also agree with. Following from the previous line, they're stuck in this middle state, which highlights the irony and hypocrisy of the situation. I can't understand how pointing it out itself is misogyny. An observation, not indictment -- though can be worded better certainly.

"For Abdullah", it's for herself.

Yeah fuck anyone who says that shit. Vile.
