Are there men who demand that their women wear a hijab? I am sure there are; just as there are men that demand their wife or girlfriend parade at their side in high heels and a sexy dress. The power play between genders is not exclusive to one religion or culture; it happens on an individual level.

YES YES YES THIS SO MUCH. People who seriously think this kind of power play between genders or in relationships happens only in other cultures make me want to bang my head into the wall. HELLO WE LIVE IN A PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY TOO.
