[QUOTE]Originally posted by newcomer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by of_gold: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by newcomer: [qb] No, because there is no indication in the religious texts that men should cover their faces, and men aren't judged by society for their looks in the same way as women are. [/qb][/QUOTE]Granted, I can understand the mentioning of it in religious text as a reason but it does raise the question once again as to why it is in the religious text for the woman to cover her face and not the man.[/qb][/QUOTE]I believe that you have read many of the justifications for that in all those articles I gave you the link for. And Islam isn't alone as a religion that refers to women covering more of their body than men. [qb] [QUOTE]As far as men not being judged by society for their appearance, are you quite certain about this? Do you think that race or obesity or even a tall man vs a short is not an obstacle for a man in society? Do you not think that men are judged by these things? Come on, be realistic.[/qb][/QUOTE]Did I say that? No, I said that they are not judged [b]in the same way as women.[/b] Visual judgement of women [b]is [/b]different from that of men, even if you don't want it to be. [qb] [QUOTE]Surly you are not implying that a woman fully covered has more opportunities because no one can tell if she is ugly or not; are you? [/qb][/QUOTE]I mentioned "ugly" women just to make a point about visual judgement of women. I guess it depends how you define "opportunties" whether wearing a niqab would give you more of them or not. If you are referring to opportunities in terms of work, most women who choose to wear a niqab aren't looking for a wide range of work opportunities as, if they want to work, they have their own criteria of what sort of work would suit their chosen way of life. However, if they do find work in an environment they feel happy with, they gain the opportunity to work without harrassment or being eyed-up by male colleagues, to work without distraction from office-based gossip about the latest scandals and which fashions they should be wearing, they are often given priority for seats on public transport, treated respectfully by those around them, and helped to maintain their religious beliefs and practices. Although these may not seem important to you, they can be to a working woman who wears niqab. [/QB][/QUOTE]
