I know we make lots of stink about the burka oppressing women and I don't necessarily disagree with that, but there are plenty of Muslim women who love their husbands and want to feel sexy for them. And I'm sure there are plenty of husbands who want to see their lovers in some sexy number. I'm not sure how modesty plays out in the marital bed, but Muslims are still humans.What?
I am sorry, but the Burka meme was started long ago, and back then, even without burkas most of our species subjugated women and delegated them to bun factories and treated them as property. It is sad to me, even if a Muslim allegedly does it "because I want to", even IF they are not being forced, are buying into a very sexist meme.
Outside the issue of labels, quite a few years ago, back in the late 90s. I met an old southern white couple, and I do not remember how the issue got on gender roles, but the old lady said "It's the man's job to take care of the woman".
And all I could think was, "How convenient for you" and "So you like thinking you cant do what he does".
No, the truth is regardless of sex, we all seek resources. But we are still stuck in gender roles. I am not even against sexy clothing. I am against selling bullshit scripts. Consent is the key factor between ADULTS and that alone is what counts. Not what sexist religious people think should or should not happen.
