Clothing fit for making a clear statement they are not on the same level as men. Is this compatible with modern society, inherent human needs and equality?
Easy answer, yes if they are doing it of their own free will with informed consent. People can wear whatever they want.
Hard question, does heavy cultural pressure and implied threats of violence impact your ability to ever truly give informed consent?
Exactly. Although it does get a little dicey when you factor in cultural conditioning. Some women are devout by choice—but if they grew up in the religion it’s impossible to determine if that devoutness is a truly held belief or if they’ve been essentially brainwashed. I don’t mean to say there’s some insidious plot of brainwashing, but there’s really no other way to describe deep, long term conditioning from a dominant in-group.
Indoctrination is a hell of a drug.
