[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]1. The hijab helps others to distinguish who's a believer and who's not.  Why then should that matter in the eyes of God whether others know my belief system? This is essentially saying that God is fine if we judge each other.  divisive?  I'd say yes.  [/quote]
Up until the end of the nineteenth century, a  respectable Western woman covered her head, that was the norm. This was also true in pre-Islamic Arabia, women of a certain rank covered their hair. This verse is referring to that,  asking Women to differentiate themselves,  again the verse is talking to the "Believing women" . No, you  cant judge people, only God can be the judge but you know better than I that we are being judged every day by how we dress. It would be am intellectual lie to deny it. Every society has a dress code. You can't show up at an interview wearing shorts and a tankini.

[Quote]2.  Women are less likely to ogle than men are.  I love this.  Because men have uncontrollable urges, rather than force them to control those urges, we force women to wear oppressive items of clothing.  Only the woman's husband, brother, sons, grandsons and nephews can see her breasts (covered obviously). [/quote] wrong. Only the women's family can see her uncovered,  nobody said anything about breasts. The ogle comment was mine. You can deny it as much as you want . Is it that hard to understand men are more visual than women?The porn industry doesn't exist because men get aroused by intelligence and emotional connection does it?  Do you think men masturbate to thoughts of that warm conversation you just had? Or how he was able to pour his guts out to you? 
Do advertisers falsely believe (through study and science!) that men's attention can be attracted using slender young attractive females? Why not just use fat frumpy women?

[quote]3.  Men can walk around without a shirt, yet can't wear gold and silk.  (b/c gold and silk are flashy on men?  draw attention to them?)[/quote] The because comment is your interpretation. Men don't wear gold and silk because that's what the Prophet saw said,  rust honor was given to women. Why? We don't know but can guess it had to do with humility.

[quote]I appreciate the effort you put into your posts, but in 2014, I certainly put no faith in the "wisdom" found in an ancient text.

And that's your right to believe that and my right to believe otherwise and that's what makes me a Muslim, it is a choice![/quote]
