I'm 22:36 again. You assume far too much. If women wear hijab to avoid the glances or stares of men, it doesn't necessarily mean they are being cowed by men. Many men will notice a pretty woman. Are you denying this or are you saying it is only prevalent in Muslim cultures? A few will stare. Evenso, most don't to intimidate or harass. They simply notice. I'm sure you have male relatives and friends. Ask them if their intent when they notice a pretty woman is for the purposes of intimidating or harassing. Ask most women who catch a man noticing them if they felt intimidated or harassed by the glance or stare. Most women don't feel that is a man's intent and most men don't intend that either.

Practicing Muslim women who choose to wear hijab want to prevent ANY glances or stares because in Islam [b]it is a sin for men to notice women's beauty. Period.[/b] Hair is an adornment (well, except for Leila Ahmed, maybe lol). It is colored, straightened, curled, etc…and then shown off by women to men.

Why are you bent upon trying to prove Muslim women would never desire to wear hijab? Is it because it angers you so much that it is a mandate in some Muslim countries? Is it because in your own mind, it is considered perfectly natural and healthy for women to show their attractiveness to men? Or is it because you can not imagine women exercising such a level of restraint? [/quote]

You're talking in circles, thus trapping yourself.

Again, b/c men can't help themselves, women have to hide.

You can't see that beyond your veil?[/quote]

You needn't resort to snark to get your point across just because you don't like that Muslim women veil.

Why do men commit more crimes than women in nearly every society? Why are insurance rates generally higher for men? Are you going to sit there and now deny biochemical differences between men and women? In the western mindset, the quest to prove linear equality between men and women may cause women to insist they are identical to men in every way, but from the Islamic perspective this is an erroneous presumption. Muslim women do not need to justify veiling under western ideology. The requirement to "lower ones gaze" is there in the Quran for both men and women, [b]but men are more likely to have a harder time controlling themselves from the sin of gazing[/b].

If you don't agree, fine. It's simply a different perspective.

There are PLENTY of men who aren't thinking of fucking every woman walking down the street. There are plenty of men who practice self control. There are plenty of men who don't "own" their wives, who respect women, and who believe women are their equals.

So now you're using "biology" to defend covering?  lol!  First it's the Quran; now it's biology.  
What's next?

Unfortunately, it's YOUR sick belief system that gives YOUR men that edge and power.  It's absolutely mind boggling and more than disgusting!

This isn't a different perspective.  It's self-enslavement![/quote]
