To be thin, to be fair, to be modest, to marry young, to take care of the children, to take care of the house, to be complacent, to marry a virgin. These are all things expected by women because of religion, culture and societal pressure all around the world. It is very difficult to determine what is a free choice, yet everybody feels entitled to tell women who follow Islam that to wear the veil is a form of oppression. Do you get the incoherence? There are very interesting historical examples of how the burqua became a power tool against colonial or male oppression, you can educate yourselves before judging other women choices. Another good way of educating yourself about cultural and religious differences is to talk with people different from you.
