It’s A Feminist Statement’Not all Muslim women cover their bodies. Not all Muslim women who do are forced to do so. Like freelance writer Hanna Yusuf, who chooses to wear a hijab in a daily act of feminism. In a new video for The Guardian, Yusuf challenges stereotypes by setting out to reclaim the choice to wear a hijab as “a feminist statement.”For more on on how the hijab helps women reclaim their bodies watch the full video here.hijab is not feminist it’s a religious practice that is used often by men to oppress ushonestly sick of this choicey feminism!! what about the millions of us women forced to wear it by men and the laws they make? i understand that muslim women in the west face a lot of shit for their hijab and we’ve always/ always will support you, but can you not throw us under the bus just to make yourself a name in popular western feminism?“…reduced to their sexual allure…”Girls and women are literally being forced to cover up because of how sexualized the female body is. They think men might get too distracted and even sin when they see the human female body, yet we’re the ones being blamed.Because women’s bodies are hyper-sexualised covering up does not discourage unwanted attention. Men will sexualise anything. It isn’t really about the clothes the clothes are pretense.yeah exactly. She seems to think there is a way to dress that will make men take you seriously but there just isn’t. The prude/slut dichotomy thing punishes everyone regardless of what side they are perceived to be on. Not only that but men will sexually fixate on the clothes themselves. Women covering up creates a taboo and many men see that as a boundary to cross for sexual gratification. If women had to hide their elbows men would obsess over women’s elbows. It’s men’s psychology that is the problem not women’s bodies. Not chiming in with an opinion because not my place, but my friend is a British Arab and has frequently visited Dubai with her family. She told me that even women in full niqabs get harrassed. Men will comment on how pretty their fucking hands look. It doesn’t matter what you wear-men will still sexualise you. -- source link
