Reply #69: Okay so let me go further with the theology behind this garb

[riderinthestorm]

Women who wear this type of garb want to be invisible. They absolutely shun eye contact, shun contact in general. They look down to avoid eye contact because they believe to connect with anyone outside their family is haram.

When driving, often times, a person makes a visual "contract" - "we both stopped at the same time, you go first". If it's any explanation, it's that this woman in her veil is unlikely to even make that "contract" to drive cooperatively. She won't make contact, she's not going to have that interaction with strangers because she has chosen to remove herself from even basic social constructs.

As someone who has tried on her veil, I'll also stipulate - it slips. This is like wearing a silk camisole (are you female?) It slides around and requires adjustment if you want to stay covered. There's no way her garment is "stabilized" enough to be safe driving. I repeat: as someone who has tried on this garment it is NOT SAFE FOR DRIVING. TMI but I ordered one of these from KSA for a class assignment. I was trying to make a point on female empowerment but one minute in this garb demonstrated it's exact purpose: to oppress.

These are just a few of the logistics but bottom line is the garment is misogynistic in the extreme. Nuff said right?

Clearly not. Are you working as stringently to remove laws banning female toplessness in your community? Much more female empowering and a clear threat to the patriarchy. Surely you are all over that right?
