[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ministry of Common Sense: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ramses nemesis: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ministry of Common Sense: [qb] If we are talking about wearing "daisy dukes", g-string bikinis, and short mini-skirts then, of course, most men (of any class) might not want their wife to appear in cetain settings (especially Egypt) dressed like this. But if all we are talking about here is a portion of the arm from the elbow and below exposed by wearing short sleeve shirts - then it may be going to far to say she is "showing flesh". So different men consider "showing flesh" to be different things. [/qb][/QUOTE]you're point is well taken. In my original post I mentioned showing "too much flesh" not just flesh, and that he doesn't consider himself religious, so not a "strict muslim" (however you define that!) In short, I personally would agree with your interpretation of too much flesh that you mention above. Although in our household it wasn't short sleeves but what they used to call "trois quart". They also used to wear bathing suits when they went to the beach, although later on they stopped because it was becomming less socially acceptable in the 80s and 90s, or maybe because they were getting fat!! btw, I don't know what's a daisy duke, but if it's along the lines of g-strings, then it's a no no. [/qb][/QUOTE]Daisy Dukes are very short shorts (like cut-off jeans) that usually show too much of the wearers backside when standing and all of it when sitting. They get their name from the character Daisy on the tv show "Dukes of Hazzard" which you can see on MBC action. I agree with you that Egypt changed so much during the 80's. Prior to 1977 it was hard to see many women wearing hijab. If you watch the old black and white movie 3aelate Zizi for example, you can see a woman in her front yard in Egypt in a bathing suit doing yoga in plain sight of people passing by. [/QB][/QUOTE]
