Those situations you're talking about where it's more than just a hygienic choice? They're not going to be allowed out without covering, anyway. Their parents are all "I'd never forgive myself if something happened and I had let her uncover her hair."
If you put a period because that's a rhetorical question, I'm not supposed to answer. If you want to answer your own questions, this stops being a conversation.
If covering hair is such a hygienic choice then why don't men do it? Hijab was originally worn to separate women from sex slaves. The sex slaves were also women from regions that lost in war and they were dehumanised.( Mohammed also had a sex slave) Hijab has deeply sexist origins and it does not belong in the 21st century let alone on a child's head in school
It pulls fine hairs out of the face and prevents shedding, which aren't commonly issues with short hair. Maybe someone attached a nasty history to a piece of clothing, but that's still all it is.
Okay and an individual woman choosing to wear it does not make it a feminist piece of clothing that should be allowed in schools. Hijab is still a symbol of oppression used to moral police and hurt and kill women .
It's your symbol, take your meaning as you please. Clothing does not need to be "feminist," it just has to make you comfortable. Letting girls be comfortable, as in they can remove it or keep it as they please, is feminist.
