My observation is that, in households where sexism is a real problem, the public-facing stuff isn't likely to be the meat of it. Nobody who has a husband who might murder them considers religious attire as the worst thing about their relationship. The worst thing is having a husband who is controlling and homicidal. The point is, both muslim and non-muslim women face that in most countries around the world, because most countries are systematically patriarchal and domestic violence is largely normalized. In every country in europe, domestic violence makes up the vast majority of violent crime, and murders are most likely, especially for women, to be committed by family members. So by focusing on the hijab and the makeup thing, you're missing my broader point: that muslim women face oppression as women, and not as muslims, except insofar as they are the targets of racial discrimination. The mechanisms that allow partners to coerce muslim women are the same as those that allow partners to exercise coercive power over white women.
