I don't disagree with that, but to me saying that we somehow know their true feelings when they themselves don't is also wrong. Telling them you know what's good for them better than they themselves do is the exact thing you are supposedly trying to prevent (their husbands telling them what to do).

There are a lot of more effective things we could be doing to help oppressed women than ripping off their garments for one brief ceremony. That's not going to make anyone feel safe or supported.
