Asking western women to please stop running around wearing a hijab "in solidarity with Muslim women." To some of them it is a symbol of oppression and they want you to quit the virtue signaling/moral preening and I want you to maybe give it a bit more thought.

“To us, the headscarf is a symbol of an interpretation of Islam we reject that believes that women are a sexual distraction to men, who are weak, and, thus, we must cover ourselves,” the authors assert. “We don’t buy it. This ideology promotes a social attitude that absolves men of sexually harassing women and puts the onus on the victim to protect herself by covering up.”
The Muslim Reform Movement, however, supports the right of Muslim women to have the option of wearing the hijab or not.
