Citizen surveillance constrains hijabi dress more than Muslim men do

Evidence

Ironically, Muslim women feel they lack choice or free will in how they dress not because Muslim men oppress them, but because they are under the watchful eye of their fellow citizens. Controlling for dress is one of the ways Muslim women participate in the discipline of their own bodies while they rearticulate what it means to wear the hijab. — , Selod, Saher - Forever Suspect_…, 521
