Muslim women who dressed more modestly were more secure about their body image, and less likely to be pressured by Western media beauty standards. Whereas Muslim women who did not wear hijabs and wore western clothing were more insecure about their body. https://www.sciencedirect.com/...

Compared to non-Muslim Western women who wore Western clothing, Muslim women who wear conservative Islamic clothing (i.e hijabs/abayas) had higher self-esteem, better body image, healthier body weight, felt less sexually objectified & more respected. https://www.sciencedirect.com/...

Western concepts of happiness do not apply in the Islamic world. Hedonist standards which the West interpret as "more happiness" actually results in lower life satisfaction among Muslims. https://link.springer.com/arti...

Wearing hijab and more conservative Islamic clothing resulted in lower rates of sexual objectification and sexual harassment. Concurring with the Islamic reason and the reason many Muslim women also give for wearing hijab, aside from God commanding them. https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLan...

Islamic values such as wearing more modest clothing protects Muslim women's body image & mental health from unrealistic Western media beauty standards. More religiosity was related to lower body dissatisfaction/objectification, and less eating disorders. https://www.tandfonline.com/do...

Use of the hijab, results in more positive body image, less fixation with appearance & less reliance on Western media beauty standards. The effects appear to be driven by the hijab specifically, rather than religiosity, which was a significant covariate. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.co...

Despite feminists attempting to speak for Muslim women to claim the hijab/Islam is "oppressive", this fails to take into account voice of real Muslim women. In reality Muslim women contradict feminist myths about the hijab, and say Islam protects them. https://www.tandfonline.com/do...

@DevonShapiro Ex muslim. Lived under sharia law. Mom and dad both muslims. This is the truth.

@DevonShapiro Overall take on this thread: low sample size for each study does not make the study very rigorous, along with the studies limited to Muslims in separate countries, therefore hard to make claims regarding the the population write large

@DevonShapiro Nowhere in this thread do I see any reference to equality or choice. And I’m not stupid I know that Islamic countries vary on these subjects. Saudi and Afghani rules vary wildly from Bangladeshi or Jordanian Islam.
