Topic: Muslim HC
While this article is mainly about the idea of the Muslim head covering, I found a few intereseting thoughts in this blog called: "Veils and Questions". One good quote is as follows:
"For instance, I have often found myself thinking that women who wear make-up are in a sense, veiling themselves. In fact, the whole industry of women's fashion and self-adornment has become an extraordinary type of inverted veil -- fashionable, glamourous women spend what amounts to huge quantities time and effort obscuring their true appearance behind masks composed of cosmetics and clothing. How would it be if the mass of women living in cultures that require women to be perfectly groomed and coiffed at all times were to be forced to "remove the veil" of their glamour and appear unadorned to the gaze of the world? Would that be the same as asking Islamic women to remove the veils behind which they have grown up?"
Just a thought. Reminded me of the current ad campaign by the Dove company: Campaign for Real Beauty. Watch their video called "evolution". Just who is covering up?
