[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel sad that women are covering their hair. Any degree of covering up seems rooted in sexism to me. But I agree it sometimes looks stylish and certainly would streamline dealing with my hair![/quote] It's not just Islam though. Traditionally, Judaism and Christianity required or encouraged women to cover their hair also. Heck, 150 years ago in this country it was socially inadvisable for an adult man or woman to go outside without wearing a hat. That wasn't religion, just culture. In the Middle Ages in England women of status covered their hair with elaborate head coverings. Female hair has been a sex symbol in many cultures for a long time.[/quote]
