I am not defending hijab, but your point about “body image” and “psychological problems” sounds odd to me. It seems to me that westerners, especially women, have way more body image issues than people in my Muslim home country. I don’t know if it’s the revealing clothing or the worship of youth. But it seems disingenuous to complain that someone else’s culture is going to cause body image issues when in your culture people in their 40s are dieting and hitting the gym striving to look like they’re in their 20s.
