...tell me why 15 girls died in a fire because their "rescuers" decided that because they were not wearing this "headwear of choice" they could not be taken outside where the ever-tempted eyes of men may be upon them!!

I hope those men enjoyed the view of their charred remains!

It was not because of the religion, it was because of the culture.... I think..

Alameda don't patronise me!!! You know VERY well what I am talking about!!!

3rd century BC!!!! lol
The whole bloody world was, and to a certain extent is STILL in a patriarchal society!

Luckily some have progressed, however unwillingly it was received by men, because we have basic human rights as women that have to be met!



The point I'm making is the wearing of a head covering has been blown out of proportion....given too much attention and been subject to too much speculation. Maybe she is just wearing a scarf.

Of course basic human rights...animal rights, earth rights should be respected....

However...The Cult of Isis was not a patriarchal society ....nor was the Cult of Demeter...

I have seen wonderful photos of Audrey Hepburn with a scarf looking quite chic.

However, I do agree the Salon owner should be able to hire who they want to represent their business....how's that?

Haha listen to this There's someone I know, she doesn't wear a headscarf usually but once I saw her with and asked her about it. She said that they didn't have any hot water at home so she didn't want to wash her hair, thus the headscarf You gotta say it's convenient

OMG! I give up! How can you compare fashion scarves to scarves that are worn because your culture or religion says you should hide your "adornments" to prevent temptation or jealousy in men!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to bed
