The hijab doesn’t bother me,and I’m a woman.

Catholic nuns used to wear much worse.

Good for you. Islam is not Catholicism. You figure it out.

Catholic nuns did not cover their faces to hide their identities - You could see who they were.

Does it bother you that it is ok for a husband to rape and beat his wife under Islam?

Pray America wakes

Back decades ago, maybe nearly a century ago, a lot of European women plainly wore headcoverings, it seems it was a part of the culture.

I think even until relatively recently, women still have in parts of Europe. Check out the women’s clothes in above link.

Big difference... Nuns voluntarily commit themselves to consecrated life. Men in the Catholic church wear habits as well... In some cases more extravagant than those of nuns. Muslim women in many Muslim countries are MANDATED to wear a hijab... It is not a choice. Wearing one in a western society id not only a sign of faith, it is an implicit approval of the lesser standing of women in the Muslim faith. I’m a man and even I can understand that!
