Oh you celebrate, do you? What next? Celebrating bound feet? Girls married off at age ten, eight, six? FGM? Slavery? Rape? Sati?
All of that, plus it implies that women are slutty hoors who lure men to their doom, as opposed to being subordinated by men who think women are slutty hoors.
Well, none of these women can see anything BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE EYES.
Also, just blindfold the men; it would take a lot less fabric.
They need to shed it like a nasty habit.
For Black History Month, let’s be sure to observe Leg Iron Day, or maybe Prison Stripes Day.

A hijab isn’t like a habit. It is a (nun’s) habit, just with more stuff.
It’s weird. It’s fine if women want to wear a hijab, as certain Christian women dress modestly, and there is a form of Judaism where women wear wigs. You can point out that it’s patriarchal oppression but there’s no way you would penalise women for doing so. But it’s not something a government should “celebrate” or even “acknowledge.” For one thing, there is supposed to be a separation between religion and state in the USA.

Much a I hate it, Corporate Memphis does allow you to do eyes. The decision to omit them is a very deliberate* and very creepy design decision.
*Not perhaps entirely conscious, but deliberate and intentional nonetheless. If you make choices you are responsible for their reasonably predictable consequences.
