Is it right to force a girl / women to remove her scarf, mask, etc. ?
I have this weird thing (normal for me, weird for others).
I don’t want others to see my face. They stare, and I feel uncomfortable.
I mean, even if anyone (men or women) just looks at me, I feel like they are taking something from me...
So I just fully cover myself with a scarf and mask. Only then do I feel safe enough to step out of the house.
Gloves & socks — for germophobia.
Now, while going to relatives’ houses for functions, of course I’d rather not go. If I have to, then my parents take me.
Now, when I’m there, they force me to remove my scarf, mask, gloves, and socks...
Which makes me feel like:
What have I done wrong?
What did I do to deserve this?
Why are they doing this to me?
Just because a few relatives ask and question why I wear all those things...
My mother and her elder brother force me to remove everything.
Why not just ask me to get naked as well?
Am I harming others in any way by wearing them?
Of course, I am very lucky to be in this religion...
But I so badly wish I was Muslim sometimes, just so I could cover my whole body, head, and face without being questioned.
Whereas here, they are asking me to strip away the things that make me feel safe.
Just because relatives say something, these people do this to me.
Isn’t this so wrong?
How would you feel / what would you do if your parents did this to you?
Would you do this to your daughter?
