Agar jamiyatdagi ayollarning kiyinish tarzi faqat mustaqil tanlovning natijasi bo'lganida, biz turli-tuman uslublarni, tana qismlarining turlicha ochiq yoki yopiq bo'lishini, kiyimlarning turli manbalardan kelishini va hokazolarni ko'rgan bo'lardik. Lekin G'arb jamiyatida bunday narsa kuzatilmaydi. Biz har jihatdan nisbiy bir xillikni ko'ramiz. Ayollar (va albatta erkaklar ham) bir-biriga o'xshab kiyinadilar, yalang'ochlik haqidagi umumiy tushunchalarga, nima munosib, nima moda ekani haqidagi umumiy qarashlarga amal qiladilar. Bu bir xillikning katta qismi shundaki, aksariyat odamlar kiyimlarini bir xil chakana savdo do'konlari zanjiridan oladi. Albatta, ranglar, kesimlar va matolar turlicha bo'lishi mumkin, ammo bular hammaga xos bo'lgan bir xil asosiy mavzular. Shunga qaramay, odamlar o'zlari kiygan narsani "o'z ixtiyori bilan" tanlagan deb o'ylaydi. Aslida bu mubolag'ali individualizmdan boshqa narsa emas. Ha, siz ko'ylak turini tanlagan bo'lishingiz mumkin, lekin umumiy ma'noda siz ko'kragingizni yopishni tanlamadingiz. Siz o'z hududingizdagi chakana do'konlarni tanlamadingiz. Ana shu do'konlarga tarqatilgan, ommaviy ishlab chiqarilgan dizaynlarni ham tanlamadingiz va hokazo.

If the way women in society dress were purely a function of independent choice, we would see widely varying styles, widely varying parts of the body exposed and covered, widely varying sources for those clothes, etc. But we don’t see that in Western society. We see relative uniformity in every way. Women (and men, too, obviously) in society tend to dress alike, abiding by shared notions of nudity, shared notions of what is appropriate, what is fashionable, etc. A big part of the uniformity is that the majority of people get their clothes from the same retail outlet chains. Sure, colors might vary, cuts, and fabrics might vary, but it’s the same basic themes shared by all, yet people are under the impression that what they wear is “by choice.” Really, it’s nothing but an overexaggerated sense of individualism. Sure, you might have chosen the kind of blouse to wear, but, in the larger sense, you didn’t choose to cover your chest. You didn’t choose the retail stores in your area. You didn’t choose the mass distributed designs that were rolled out into those stores, etc., etc.

No matter how narrow a range of variation you give people, they will come to think of themselves as practicing agency within that narrow range. Given how obsessed Western society is with choice and individuality, this is inevitable. You have an army of women with the same yoga pants, ugly boots, black jackets, wearing the same cheap accessories, wearing the same low-quality perfume from the same mass distributors, coloring their faces with the same chemicals, in the same patterns, and telling Muslim women in hijab that they are oppressed, lack agency, lack freedom of choice, etc. And you have those same Muslim women writing op-eds, speaking out in interviews, pleading that they do indeed have a choice, just like their non-Muslim, non-veiled counterparts. GAH! Note: I need to point out that this text is a passage from an English-language Islamic book, and my task is to translate it into Uzbek, so the translation is below. Hech qanday tor doirada tanlov imkoniyatini cheklasangiz ham, odamlar o'zlarini shu tor doira ichida erkin tanlov qilayotgan deb o'ylashadi. G'arb jamiyatining tanlov erkinligi va individuallikka bo'lgan ishtiyoqini hisobga olsak, bu muqarrar. Mana bir qator ayollar: bir xil yoga shimlari, xunuk botinkalar, qora kurtkalar, bir xil arzon aksessuarlar, bir xil sifatsiz atirlar ommaviy ishlab chiqaruvchilardan, bir xil kimyoviy vositalar bilan yuzlarini bo'yab, bir xil naqshlarda kiyinib yurishibdi, va hijob kiygan musulmon ayollarga ular zulm ostida, erkinligi yo'q, tanlash huquqi yo'q deb aytishadi. Qolaversa, o'sha musulmon ayollarning o'zlari ham maqolalar yozib, intervyularda chiqib, xuddi hijobsiz, musulmon bo'lmagan hamkasblari kabi tanlov huquqlari borligini ta'kidlashmoqda. Voy, jonga tegdi!
