I am amazed that people still debate about hijab. It is something from Islam. It protects the women from perverted looks and harrasment from men and it gives them honor by displaying modesty. The list goes on and on. I find it strange that a man thinks he automatically has carte blanche to look at a female's body who is not his wife. But as soon as a man looks at his wife or daughter he becomes furious.Some western women find it strange and oppose it as well. That is simply because that is how they were raised.Likewise, practicing Muslim women find it strange to display themselves in front of strange men because that is what they were taught and how they were raised.Two ways of looking at it. Ironically, "most" Muslim women know "why" they wear hijab but, generally, non-muslim women don't know "why they don't".
