Europe's top human rights organisation has pulled posters from a
campaign that promoted respect for Muslim women who choose to wear
headscarves after provoking opposition in France.

The Council of Europe released the images last week for a campaign against
anti-Muslim discrimination.

A slogan on one advert read: "Beauty is in diversity as freedom is in hijab".

Several prominent French politicians condemned the message and argued
the hijab did not represent freedom.

But some Muslim women who wear headscarves said the reaction showed a
lack of respect for diversity and the right to choose what to wear in France.

National Rally candidate Marine Le Pen tweeted: "It's when women take their
veil off that they become free, not the other way around."

Yup.

I apologise for the slightly derogatory comparison, but in most cases it's about as much of a "choice" as was the dogs "deciding" to salivate in Pavlov's experiments. The deeply misogynistic culture in which they're raised has given them blinkers, and they'd see not wearing one as a choice to be made, and a negative one at that.

Even if their owners dads or husbands aren't making them wear it, it's still not fully their own choice.
