You mean just in a few cities like Tehran and only in 60s and 70s?
mothers went out with their children knowing their children would be murdered
to get bodies back from the morgue the regime makes the families pay for the bullets used to kill them
US telling protestors they would be covered and then doing nothing was beyond cruel
Imagine if North Korea had internet access (or even just electricity)
Now we're finding out the woman that don't want to wear it get shot.
In Turkey or Jordan you will often see hijabs, but most women don't wear it.
Hell, most muslim women in western countries do not wear it.
Thus, I don't know what kind of data backs such comments.
Of course many like wearing it. As a muslim female friend of mine says "it's very convenient when you don't have time/energy to do your hair to just wear an hijab". My female, christian, SO liked wearing the hijab too in muslim countries (even in those were it's not common) because she finds them fashionable.
But I don't think women want to have to wear it and given the choice it seems clear most don't.
