Oh the irony. This lengthy thread is to convince Muslim women of their stupidity in allowing men to control them through veiling. Or to showcase Muslim womens gullibility in  accepting hijab as important when, according to you, it is not. How is this not offensive to Muslim women who choose to wear hijab and believe it is an important part of their modesty? Yet when the tables are turned and western attire of shorts, skirts, using physical assets to attract men is questioned, you cry foul. Smh[/quote]

This thread is not to "convince" anyone of anything.  PPs are just pointing out that the idea that Western women think they are the "same" as men, that they are dressing to "attract" men, and that by living in a less conservative culture they are being exploited by men, are all false, because these are being used as important points by the people defending hijab.

I lived in a Muslim country- I would bet that the majority of the men had premarital sex, I saw many women in hijab dressed in skin tight clothes with tons of makeup, I saw women flirting with men and dating, I saw lots of men leering and staring and calling out at women.  The behavior basically did not match the super-conservative attitudes that the people explaining hijab are using as an explanation FOR the hijab.[/quote]
