ORIGINAL: Nikitaa ^ But is some countries they can not drive nor show skin. This is not control or power. (is okay to start sentence with "but"?) In the Islamic faith, the full covering is done when a woman goes out in public or when there are male guests in the home. It is done so that she will be respected instead of looked at as a sexual object. However, when she is at home with only her family, she may dress as she sees fit. Covering isn't intended to subjugate women. However, any religion can be taken to extremes and exploited to fascist ends. In any case, the motivation behind her actions is still the key factor. quote SApL " It is done so that she will be respected instead of looked at as a sexual object." The women do not make the decision to dress this way. Men make the laws. My belief is these men are afraid of the sexual power of the women. The men are weak and fear a woman's sexual power. Men make laws to cover women so the men can remove power from women. I understand if women choose to dress as they do, and some women do, but most dress as they do because of laws. Men do not respect women in those countries, they fear them. Is my belief. Very well said SylvereApLeanan. I couldn’t have said it any better. Nikita, it’s nothing to do with control or power. There are no struggles between the man and the woman on what to wear and not to. It’s the woman's choice. Of course there are men or states such as Iran or the Taliban who use the cultural/Islamic faith to extremes to subjugate the women. In my travels and stays in many Islamic countries I saw nothing but utmost respect for women, young and old. A mother is revered in these countries, she is considered sacred (not in a religious way if you know what I mean). Men are weak and fear a woman's sexual and non sexual power right across the globe, in my opinion, not just in the Arab world. It’s just women haven’t woken up to that idea yet…haven’t learned how to use that power effectively.
