The feminist movement has certainly been put on the backburner for the last few decades, and it seems we're going back straight where we started, in the West at least. You bring up a very important issue that all women who believe to be modern and independent should think about.Lost Lailahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308511044948439187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23835695.post-50174512783604808542007-09-19T20:11:00.000-07:002007-09-19T20:11:00.000-07:00This was a fantastic post.I'm not Muslim, but I fi...This was a fantastic post.<BR/>I'm not Muslim, but I find myself defending women's right to choose for themselves. I'll be the first to admit that I don't understand the individual choices of women who wear the veil, but I don't have to. I don't understand the need to wear a gold cross on a chain either. And I don't have to.<BR/>Your post reminded me of an interview with Randa Abdel-Fattah in the Australian Cosmo when her first book had just come out. She was talking about the hijab as a fashion accessory, not a symbol of oppression.<BR/><BR/>It's a bizarre world we live in where extremely modest women are demonified just as much as extremely sexualised women.<BR/>Whenever women's morals differ from each other, we feel the need to judge and condemn.Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936139269770376679noreply@blogger.com
