[Susie27505]

A few years ago, I met some Muslim girls who were in their last year of high school. This was in Winnipeg. We started talking a little bit about why they chose to wear the hijab (head scarf), and they asked me to remember what I thought about most when I was in school. (I said, guys and being pretty and probably drinking.) They said that for them, wearing the hijab, along with not drinking, being alone with men, etc., had freed them to study. All three of them were planning on medical school, and their grades were a lot higher than mine. They told me they expected to be equal partners to their future husbands, and, unlike lots of Western girls, they seemed straightforward and unambivalent about this. This is all to say that those particular Western Muslim girls (born in Canada) certainly had high standards for themselves.
