Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Honestly outside of protection from the sun they all look extremely uncomfortable/constraining. Especially the burka.

As a man, it is not my place to say anything about this conversation, but I want to give a story form my life. My mother didn't wear it until my father's death. So I am sure that it was her choice. She was a praying Muslim and devoted before and after and We live in this so-called authoritarian state too.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Was it truly her choice or was it something society and/or religion and/or culture dictated her to do to fit into a role intented for her? What would be her reason to do this out of free will?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

As far as I know, she wanted to wear it before his death, but he didn't let her. So when he did, she chose to wear it on her own.

You need to understand that it is normal not to wear it in our society. infects some people use it to not have to Do their hair when they don't feel like it.

In fact, it is getting less and less used as people moderniz. And people in the West get more religious effect from people in Muslim communities I know the fuckers who would go to the club and drink in here, but who will start praying as soon as they get out to western country. So you maybe getting the wrong idea about it.

Never heard of a Chador, looks cozy.

This drawing kind of makes a Burka look crazy, like she's blindfolded.

Its a mesh over the eyes iirc like very shear fabric.

Clothing fit for making a clear statement they are not on the same level as men. Is this compatible with modern society, inherent human needs and equality?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Easy answer, yes if they are doing it of their own free will with informed consent. People can wear whatever they want.

Hard question, does heavy cultural pressure and implied threats of violence impact your ability to ever truly give informed consent?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. Although it does get a little dicey when you factor in cultural conditioning. Some women are devout by choice—but if they grew up in the religion it’s impossible to determine if that devoutness is a truly held belief or if they’ve been essentially brainwashed. I don’t mean to say there’s some insidious plot of brainwashing, but there’s really no other way to describe deep, long term conditioning from a dominant in-group.

Indoctrination is a hell of a drug.

Symbol of oppression, symbol of oppression, symbol of oppression, symbol of oppression, symbol of oppression, symbol of oppression and symbol of oppression.

Why is it so hard to remember?

!queue replies slamming me for being culturally intolerant of oppressive ideologies!<

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Typical. I get my comment deleted for opposing misogynist ideologies. Stay reddit, mods.

Can men wear these? I want to scare my kids and these would be perfect

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

They do; to prevent their identification, smuggle stuff like weapons and conceal their real gender among other stuff.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, of course not. that would defy physics as some know it. These are clearly womens clothing and they can only possibly be fit by someone feline of birth. They also don’t feature a penis pocket so not sure where you would fold that all up.

TIL AFAB = Assigned Feline At Birth, good to know.

I like the one resembling a Christmas tree.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

is there one word I can learn that describes all of these because honestly that's too much to remember

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

It's almost definitely cultural, but putting all the head coverings under the generic umbrella of Hijab is what I've seen.

Go work on your relationship with your father. I bet you both need it.
