Prisoner of patriarchy: victimized woman, stuck" in her current position whether she likes it or not, woman who veils" literally against her will, she cannot do otherwise, imperialism of imagination. Putting your ow perspective into someone else"s experiences. Dupe of patriarchy: evidence that neither are completely true, they are raised in a different culture so they agree with and subscribe to all of it (patriarchy) Just because someone lives in another country does not mean everyone fully endorses the practices of that area: stockholm syndrome-ish. Adaptive preferences wholesale": there are some perks" to veiling. Engulfing view of women"s" agency: a woman who veils has no real agency because she"s so distorted by her socialization.
