What about integration and mutual respect? It is disrespectful to Western women who believe in gender equality. Why should a minority's freedoms override those of the majority?

I find the whole thing extremely manipulative.

Stop it with the subjugation. Of course some family members insist on their women folks covering but the majority of these women just consider themselves true to their faith. Its no different to a Sikh being brought up never to cut his hair and wear a turban when out or Orthodox Christians, Catholic nuns or Orthodox men wearing their religious garb. Are Orthodox Jewish boys subjugated because they wear head covering. Are married Orthodox Jewish women subjugated because under the eyes of God they should cover their hair when out (normally a wig). You can't say Muslim women are subjugated without putting all these people in the same category.

Edited to add. Its the same for indoctrination.
