Define evidence? Social practices are not scientific phenomena for which quantifiable empirical evidence exists, the evidence here is mostly obtained through observation, especially in a place like Pakistan where research on sociological issues is virtually nonexistent. Falling back on the ‘evidence’ straw-man is a convenient way to convince yourself that nothing’s wrong but, unfortunately, that’s not how it works. There’s no “evidence” (of the kind you’re trying to imply exists) that virtually every woman in, say, rural KPK has to wear a blue burqa whether she likes it or not yet it’s no secret that they don’t have a choice in the matter. As far as the usage of the term indoctrinated is concerned, I make no secret of the fact that I’m not a fan of Islamic culture but, unfortunately for the argument you’re trying to make here, we’re dealing with facts – i.e. whether or not something happens or not – and not opinions which is usually where bias comes into play. Besides, your pro Islam bias is at least as strong as my anti-Islam bias and I make no secret of the fact that I’m not a fan of what I called ‘indoctrination’ here but that’s beside the point. The question here is whether or not it’s happening, not whether it’s right or wrong, and in this case, the answer is a resounding yes as most people living in Pakistan would be able to confirm.
The poster you accused of lying lives in Karachi which, last I checked, is not in the US. He also didn’t specify that he was referring exclusively to the west but calling out OP’s hypocrisy in general. Your line of argument, that it’s the culture and not the religion, is pretty common here and one that has been thoroughly debunked by now. Culture and religion don’t exist in isolation and religion has had a massive influence on Pakistani culture. Even now, religion is the go-to tool for the most regressive elements of society to reinforce their most unsavory cultural practices. This is all basic Pakistani Sociology 101, stuff you’d know if you had an inkling about how Pakistan works but, since you brought up the element of bias, your pro Islam bias is evident here, trying to talk about stuff you know nothing of. Hijab is worn voluntarily by Muslim women in the west (for the most part, not exclusively – if we include Europe) because the laws there mostly guarantee them protection against coercion. That is not the case which is why the proportion of women who wear it in the west is a fraction of that in Pakistan. I doubt you can go two days without seeing a single women in even the most regressive Muslim neighborhood in England. In Pakistan, there are entire districts where this is the norm.
