A scholars perspective on Hijab and wisdom behind it.

[CapnAwesome]

The problem is none of the arguments he makes hold true in much of the Islamic world. If the Hijab is all about getting to know a woman's real value, how come the middle east puts so much less value on their women than does the west? The idea that Islamic culture and the Hijab somehow makes women less of consumer goods is one of the most hypocritical things I've ever heard. What culture has more arranged marriages? What culture has less women allowed to attend school. Is it in the heart of west or the heart of the Muslim world where women can't go outdoors without a male escort. The author talks entirely in the hypothetical but we've seen how these things apply in real life and the Hijab is an utter failure when it comes to promoting womens rights or making people value women more. We can see that in reality, which that scholar clearly is ignoring.

The second thing to consider is just how incredibly insulting to men his whole hypothesis is. Men can't help but rape! Men can't help but judge based on looks. Men can't help but objectify women. It doesn't speak very well of his culture when that's how he perceives men.
