Muslim women who reject sexualized fashions? I’ve actually been in homes where the women wear hijab in public...but not at home with family and friends lol In fact, at home they wear what would be commonly seen as sexy garb. I’ve even seen girls albeit in Western countries, wear hijab with tight jeans, cropped tops and belly rings.
Do some women wear it as a political statement? of course.. but there are a great deal who wear it out of societal/cultural pressure.
I have a very good Egyptian friend, who has always been appalled by the use of the hijab as a political statement... she sees it as the oppression that her parents generation got rid of.
I’d like to see it GONE.

As someone over in the UAE right now, you are spot on with your comment about the fashion statement.
