  • What does the Hijab say about men?
     OP - November 22, 2009, 12:26 PM
    I now look at Hijab this way...

    • Women can control them selves, hence no need for men to cover up.
      Men can not control them selves, hence women should cover up to protect themselves from men.

    Looks like Hijab is as insulting to men as to women, if you think about it this way!  Huh?

    I believe the same thing; it is the old story of 'oppressing women to save them from men' argument that I hear Muslims used to justify it. Ultimately it should be the individual controlling their mind and eyes and not the other person having to do something about it.

    Then again, every Muslim I know of comes from a backwards culture which further entrenches these views through Islam.

    I have to admit that as a one-time muhajabah I now feel sorry for these poor girls and women who believe they must wear the hijab in order to protect themselves from men.

    IMO, men need to grow up and learn to control themselves but this will not happen until the ingrained culture is changed and the mothers of these men learn to discipline their sons and teach them some self-respect.

    That is the point Nour. I hate this hijaab idea that imply men are monsters or rapists or low of the low. I am not, and most men are not. I feel that the hijab is an insult to men in general and to me personally.... Because I experience this daily.

    I have frequently been in a situation where my brother's wife or some other hijabi's forgot to wear their head scarfs, and soon as they sees me they startle or pretend to be startled, and rush out of the room or run away from me to find a piece of a piece of cloth to put on their heads. I feel very angry when that happens.

    I dress modestly most of the time just because I prefer doing so. Modesty is not bad in itself nor it implies that others will get the hots for you or be jeaulous of you or anything. However, I do think it can border the ridicule when done in the way RIBS discribed.

    But you have a point, lightrays, that each society has their own rules on what's the dress code.

    I agree.

    I don't believe hijab is even appropriate in the West. No man here is going to see a woman's hair and start jerking off. It should be based on context, like where you are, and who you're around.

    To me, in the West it's just a way to identify yourself as a "pious person" rather than for any modesty reasons.

    oh beleive me it happens quite alot in the middle-eastern Muslim communities. Being seen with no scarf is almost similar to being seen with no undies... Or this is how they pretend it to be! Very sad.

    Covering your hair doesn`t make you modest. Plenty of people cover their hair and aren`t the least bit modest. If you want to portray an image of modesty, why do you need to cover your hair to do so? Also there is a big difference in how societies legislate dressing. For the most part, it`s that you can`t walk outside naked. That`s public indecency. This has nothing to do with protecting women from men. In Islam, a woman has to cover everything but her face hands and feet. Big difference.

    yeah, but when you consider what the men are like over there - reminds me of stories my old man told me about when he was in the UN in somalia.

    I am tempted to call Muhammad sexist, as it says something about his opinion about men and about women, and the overdramatization of the differences in who is more lustful.

    Like at church-- that's where I jerk off to women's hair the most.

    Anyhow, the whole headscarf shit predated Muhammed anyways and was once also worn by Christian and Jewish women in the Middle East. It didn't start out as an exclusively Muslim thing.

    Ahahaha, I actually know of a guy who does get his rocks off to women's hair. But that is another story. Maybe Muhammad had a good point for women wearing hijab back in those days. I mean, if all men were anything as he was when it came down to sex and marriage, I'd hide under a rock.

    So all the women on this forum were stupid when they wore hijab, then suddenly became intelligent as soon as they removed it?

    But you're not, so maybe you should keep your yap shut about it.

    This reminds me of a Sinbad stand-up bit-- and I'm paraphrasing here:

    "All these young Black kids think they're so bad, they say 'Man, if I had been alive in slave days, I woulda...'-- you woulda been pickin cotton, fool, shut up"

    Real easy to say shit like "If I were so and so I wouldn't put up with this or that", but maybe not so easy to do if you're actually in that situation.

    But then again, people have fetishes over feet... Or veiled women. Hahaha. So we can't please everyone, I guess.

    Niqabis really do a lot to stimulate my imagination and fantasise about what is hidden beneath those clothes.  I like a bit of a challenge as well.

    I still fantasise over hijabis and niqabis. I know the veil was a pre-Islamic custom but Muhammad decreed it to be the formal dress code for his wives then later on the caliphates enforced it as a formal dress code for all women.

    On a lighter note, Muslim women wear hijab for different reasons, some for modesty, some for identity. I do find it ridiculous though when apologists try to assert that the hijab protects women from rape. That grinds my gears. I only take issue with those who impose the veil on women.

    I also hate it when people try to say that hijab/modest dress will decrease one's chances of being raped. I wanna slap the taste out of their mouthes. Like I always say, if a guy wants you, he'll approach you regardless.  Roll Eyes

    But, it seems to me that hijab/niqab/burka have the opposite effect that hardcore Muslims protest. I had more men hit on me when I was in hijab than without it. No Muslim woman can sit there and tell me no guy wanted to take a peak up under her scarf. So hijab is entirely pointless. Either that, or where I live is paradise for pedophiles and strange fetishes.

    Yeah, the hijab hypersexualizes women. It`s like all women look like vixen goddesses, so they all have to cover up Roll Eyes It`s even worse with kids. A 12 year old walking around in a hijab implies there`s actually a bunch of men attracted to her.

    My thread's title is What does the Hijab say about men? and when one tries to hijack my thread and deviates it into other direction I start being sarcastic.

    We all know what hijab says about women, poor creatures they are oppressed by aggressive, possessive, fuckwits MEN!! I have sisters wearing them and I constantly argue with them against it.

    Well done Angel54, this is an intelligent response. I did not think about it that way before. The implementing or forcing the hijab on little girls says that pedophilia is the norm. What a sick idea.



    Actully this might show how Muslims used to lust over little girls... I am sick now! vomit



    And for King Tut, if he is lusting over a hijabi like the one in the picture, then he has all the right to do so. Some women look so Hot in Hijab. Which tells you that Hijab is not a deterrent for rape or harassment.

    I still think that by enforcing Hijab on women only, Men are admitting that they are monsters who have no control over their lust, while women are more in control of their sexual desires, and hence there is no need for men to cover up!

    So it is OK for men to go like this:



    No need to wear shirts, although just like women men have breasts and they are sensitive to touch, and from personal experience they are sexual organs for men too!
