greetings epicmafia community,

i think we need a good discussion on the hijab and any other islamic apparel that is designed for "modesty"

now while i believe people should be allowed to wear what they want, we must be honest about such articles of clothing. they were introduced and used for the sole purpose of "modesty".

today's muslim women now are trying to defend the hijab.

they claim that it's their choice - which is valid. however, what it really means is that these women were most likely forced to wear the hijab since birth and have grown accustomed to it.

personally, i find islam to be an extremely problematic religion and i think this actual sexist apparel stems from it.

No need to wear some hijab jacket (niqab), a soft thing on the hair is enough according to religious books.

forcing people to wear them = bad

other than that, people should be able to do whatever they want so long as it doesn't encroach on the rights of other people

I think they make everyone look really ugly

obviously if women are being forced to wear it that's bad and the whole idea of 'modesty' is stupid in my opinion but if it's your own choice to wear it I guess it's okay

the hijab hypersexualizes women

it works the same way nudity works, when you ban it people get pent up sexual frustration which is why "modest" people are always the biggest perverts on the dl
