woman rights in Islam

[Violet]

I was thinking of something my wife once mentioned - someone turning up to kindergarten work in a very minimal skirt and top. All the staff were women and it put them off their lunch. Then you think if the kids were a bit older - it really would distract attention from what you might want the kids to be thinking about.

And it would be perfectly acceptable so far as I can tell for them to teach in the nude. It would only distract their attention if a naked person was an uncommon sight. Say that in your culture... everyone wears really tall aluminum foil hats. You wouldn't glance twice at anyone wearing one of these hats, and you probably are wearing one yourself. If, however, you see someone without a hat on their head one day... you will be interested in knowing why they are not wearing a hat. You may dwell on the sight of their uncovered hair for lengthy periods of time.

Clothing is all like those aluminum foil hats. The wearing of clothing is chiefly cultural (See ornamental?), although one might need clothing for protection from the sun, cold, or an airborne zombie plague (and in those cases, the purpose for the clothing is environmental).

Likewise in any situation.. there really is no complete freedom. In most situations, if public, you'd be arrested. And that'd be ok with me. I really don't want to be subjected to it unless I choose to be.

Being arrested in public because one is not wearing body ornaments is also cultural. I see no reason whatsoever to arrest a person because they opted out of extensively decorating their body.

So you're ok with religion now then Sae?

Define okay I certainly see it primarily as a detriment to society, although I recognize how it can be used, even in the process of transitioning a primarily religious world into a primarily non-religious world
