No. They wear veils as symbols of expression rather than oppression. They are only oppressed in those parts of the world where they are denied their human rights to education, etc. But the muslim women population as a whole is not oppressed at all.

Why do people think Arabs and Muslims oppress women?

Because compared to most modern standards, they do.Differences in clothing requirements;Males take control over and responsibility for females - no control of self in life;General discrimination of women in the workplace - while it happens everywhere, Arabic countries are somewhat more noted for it.Shariah law - enough said - women are heavily penalised for being victims and men receive very light punishments.Obviously not every Arab and Muslim is discriminatory or oppressive, but neither are they the best examples.Another opinion:Because in many Arab and Muslim cultures they are not allowed to drive, or to travel without a male family member. Education is discouraged. They are forced to wear head to toe coverings in extremely hot climates. They are not allowed to date or marry the man of their choice, and in general, they are oppressed and kept out of power. Some are even killed by male family members in order to "preserve the family honor." These are some of the reasons why people think they are oppressed. It should be obvious to anyone viewing such restrictions that they are meant to keep women down, because they are. No doubt, someone will write another opinion below stating that Muslim and Arab women are not oppressed in any way and that they choose to live such lives. I doubt that any woman would "choose" to be oppressed, but some may be brainwashed into accepting their fate.

Why does zinn use this title for the chapter 6 the intimately oppressed?

Zinn uses the title "The Intimately Oppressed" for Chapter 6 to highlight how women were systematically oppressed in various aspects of their lives, including within their families and personal relationships. By framing women as "intimately" oppressed, Zinn emphasizes the pervasive nature of gender-based discrimination and highlights the often hidden or overlooked ways in which women were marginalized in society.
