I feel proud as a human to see these brave women standing up for their rights and wish them and their fellow countrypeople all of the success with no bloodshed. It's time we move out of the age of religious compulsion on all fronts.

#12And yet muslim people on facebook say that hijab is by free will..
Is this an example of a dog whistle?
Unspecified "Muslim people on Facebook" say something you are almost certain to disagree with.
No examples, no nuance, just a call to racism.

Freedom of choosing what you wear doesn't mean freedom from consequences (to paraphrase the very popular, and idiotic, phrase about free speech that some people tend to use).

Funny thing is, as a practicing muslim - there is no compulsion in religion (direct quote from the Qur'an). Iran literally is using the ignorance of the populace to push their own means of controlling the masses.

It is, unfortunately the "Islamic Republic of Iran" is anything but Islamic. Show trials, murdering innocents, etc. They're emboldened by their Soviet allies, CCP, etc.

What are some examples of muslim majority countries that allow women to not wear one?

There is no compulsion for hijab or there is no compulsion for many other discriminatory practices that, guess what, Muslim-majority countries impose?

Well of course it's free will to avoid detention by morality police.
Freedom of choosing what you wear doesn't mean freedom from consequences (to paraphrase the very popular, and idiotic, phrase about free speech that some people tend to use).
Freedom from consequences in the context of speech means you are going to be subject to the social consequences of what you say. Not that it is possible to say it despite it being illegal.
