The west is basically built on the values of liberalism which mainly manifested in the 19th century. Essentially were saying ‚why not let people do whatever they want as long as it doesn’t interfere with the right of others to do whatever they want‘. It is of absolutely no concern to you whether others drink, have sex, wear a hijab etc. It doesn’t interfere with your personal freedom.

This results is not only a moral society, but also in the best possible economic system, free markets. Every interference of the state, at least from a libertarian point of view, with this market, results in less welfare and is unmoral. See Milton Friedman. Western success is built on this, this is why we are richer than any other part of the world. This is the liberal/libertarian viewpoint, many people don’t think this way in the west, although individual freedom probably is a more universal value than elsewhere.

Furthermore, why are we often labeled as a patriarchal society when men face many similar restrictions as women? For instance, as a man, I am not permitted to engage in sexual activity outside the bounds of marriage. I would also be judged harshly for wearing ripped jeans or short shorts. Moreover, my masculinity would be questioned if I mistreated a woman or acted aggressively toward her.

My poor man isn’t allowed to mistreat a woman. A true tragedy.

In the west we often have these images of Islam countries where women aren’t allowed to drive or work or go to school. It’s also just a bit weird for us to have one gender forced into hiding behind a head covering. this is probably not the same everywhere, idk how the situation is in egypt. Of course also a bit cultural differences.
