Can’t help it if you cannot handle the truth.

Again, seeing you failed to answer the first time.
Who asked Ardern to not wear it & how many?
Just because someone asks something, it doesn't make their view true. The rest of the world saw it differently. And so you are saying if you wear a hijab once it's being sympathetic, butcwear it twice and you support oppression. 🤣. What happens the 3rd time? 4th time are you advocating for murder? Just ridiculous logic.
So are all Muslim who choose to wear headscarves, are they promoting the oppression of women?
Or does Ardern deserve special treatment?
What's the measure of this empathy to supporting oppression scale you have invented?
Wear it once you are empathetic?
Wear it twice, people start to question your integrity?
Where it thrice and you support the oppression of women.
That logic is outstanding.
I think you may have a stand up comedy routine in the making. You could even say it with a straight face because the really funny and sad thing at the same time is, you mean it.
Always room for straight faced comics though, the audience don't need to know you are serious.
I am arguing choosing to wear a hijab does not mean you agree with the oppression of women. It's not the scarf that oppresses women.
It's men.
Let's get to the real reason Ardern wore the headgear.Being the actress she has demonstrated repeatedly, it was just another act in her ongoing drama.
So with respect to Ardern how was “Everything she ever did was all about her” any more than it was with respect to other politicians and PMs including Key, English, Hipkins or Luxon.
How was she any more wicked? It reminds of the reaction of some to the death of former strong PM Margaret Thatcher (UKs first female PM), who was another leader who had to make tough and potentially controversial decisions. ‘Ding dong the witch is dead.” I remember no such reaction on the deaths of male leaders who had to make equally tough decisions.
It was to underline that she was standing with a community targeted by a terrorist bigot, by adopting their manner of dress.
She was not the first politician to show empathy to various communities by visiting them, adopting some of their clothing and socialising with them.
