Have paid shift at work then at home unpaid work. Not about passing judgement about, talking about structures of social life- bigger than individual. Not a global conspiracy from men role expectations are more set up that women are given the burden of the second shift. Paths of least resistance come with gender status". Wearing of these diverse head/body covering, interpreted as a sign of. Veil become symbol of women"s oppression- needed saving.
