[QUOTE]Originally posted by Troubles101: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mooly The Intellectual Girl: [b]Dear all, I have been reading this post and other similar over a period of one year. I am not going to enter in the debate as this issue has been exhaustively discussed on this forum. However, I have one comment and one observation to add, 1) Why hijab/veil is linked to modesty, purity and preserving chastity of women? 2) Why whenever the hijab issue is discussed, the first ones who jump into the discussions , trying to strengthen that hijab is a must and better for the women, are most likely MEN? Taking into consideration that this forum hosts more women then men!! Why Men are so interested and so clear headed and decisive when it comes to women related issues i.e. Moslem women marrying non Moslem, wearing the hijab, and being a virgin. Yet, there are not that decisive and clear minded and aggressive when it comes to men related issues i.e. to virginity of the men and manners and behaviour ? There is another parallel thread about Virgin groom, where the question is "Is a MUST for men to be a virgin at the wedding?". Although this thread is directly linked to manhood, and men modesty and preserving chastity , yet it attracted very little attention and received ONLY 10 replies, while this one received 93!!!! Men are not interested to discuss this topic , there rather discuss the hijab one!!!! I am throwing the below hypothesis that many anthropologists and sexologists have been discussing before, Please do not shoot at me, just think about it for a second: To what extend women and women's sexuality is linked to the honour of male and the whole community? Why the issue of women wearing the veil or not is become a critical indicator for whether we are a good Moslem society or not? In a patriarchal society, is women wearing veil, represent a society obeying GOD or a form of exercising an acquired power? What is meant by women covering themselves? following "God's teaching" or a mean to excuse men from exercising more sexual control ? It might seems a bit philosophical, but take a minute to think about it. If you think this is pure rubbish, please discard it without shooting at me. If you want a intellectual discussion, I am up to it.

Also it seems to me that women who wear Hijab or are studying the issue did participate and speak for themselfs not waiting for men to talk for them like: Farhana ,wedi meteora,nefertity... So I don't see how your intellectual argument stands here? P.S I wrote something in this thread about Hijab and while reading it again it's like I was drunk when I wrote it as I wrote something like the opposite of what I wanted to say,though I don't really drink.may be was just in mood.
