Not really in some social circles you will have pressure wearing hijab and others pressure not wearing it , like every place in the world. I mean if you come from religious family in US you will have the same pressure wearing a short skirt. But nothing outrageous.
The issue I'm having with that kind of discussion is that instead of pointing out an opression problem somewhere in the world it stigmatize an entire community.
Not all women that choose to wear hijab are oppressed (most are not) west need to understand it and stop that hijab war

Thanks for your input. It should be voted to the top of the thread, because as I said, very few others here actually know what they are talking about.

For what it's worth from one person on the Internet, I agree completely. It's one of my biggest worries. It's going to cause more oppression and is entirely unnecessary.
