A sizable minority does though.
300 million americans, 300 million europeans, minus 200 million europeas who really do not, and 50 million americans who do not (italian neighborhoods etc), and that leaves you with 5%, at best.
Besides, America and Europe do not _have_ women hide their hair as a matter of fact. It is fashion, and women generally do it by themselves, to be more beautiful, attractive, etc, and there's really very little pressure. It's not like an american woman will be flogged at the post if she did not shave her legs.
I'm not sure what you're talking about here. Most women in the world do not cover their hair from public view. It is common pretty much only in the Islamic world and a few relatively small traditionalist Christian groups. 1.1 billion Chinese generally do not; Russians do not; etc. Far from 5%, I think it's more like 80%.
Tell that to the 3000+ chinese editors. They would really enjoy telling you how little regard they have for western-imperialism.
Besides, don't you think your behavior is somewhat condescending? Moral-arbiters? Yeah, that's us. The Britney Generation. Moral arbiters of the world. I laugh! Ahahahah!!! I choke!!! Arrgghhh!!! Thump.
But there's a certain set of westerners who feel they have the proper morality they need to share with the world. If only everyone else would agree with them, the world would be a better place, eh?
