   With all due respect, Mr. Yusha… I am certain that you have very dirty thoughts as general khan reffered. Women are the most delicate, sacred and special creature of Allah . Wearing dupatta or scarf is mandatory in islam. If any of them do not wear it as it is asked to do it is absoloutly the matter between Allah and her. Another thing is that yes we want to look good that is why there several designs of scarfs n dupattas available.

   You really need to start thi thinking positive as wom.it seems you do not repect your mother and sister nd won’t respect your daughter too as you see them as WOMEN not as how scared these relations are.

   What a pathetic writing skill. You have ruined an excellent topic with your unethical and immature writing.

   @Mohammad: Yes. I believe women as a group are a bit more prone to “herd-think” than men are, because they need the protection of a group more than men do, and therefore are more inclined to follow the crowd without giving as much thought to what’s really right for them as individuals than men do. Men, ever expected to do the dirty work and heavy-lifting of civilizations, including dying in war for them, I believe are a little better at finding our own best career because our choices are fewer–we’re more predatory and have a sharper eye for competitive advantage; we can’t be mothers. (Actually we can, but we’re not as good at it as women and that’s another subject. A child responds to a mother’s childlike face, smaller form and soft voice in a way that it won’t respond to father.)

   Men are appreciated for what they (we) do, and women are appreciated for what they are. Feminism puts women in an uncomfortable position of choosing between their traditional roles as wives and mothers and new roles as career persons in fields where men are centuries ahead of them. Men seldom have to make such a choice; we’re expected to work, period. Assuming men and women have more or less equal intelligence, the difference is in how our respective skills have been applied by either gender historically, and puts women at a disadvantage in the workplace, where men have always been but women are only recently breaking in in significant numbers.

   The “glass ceiling” is the upper limit of a woman’s business or working success, and exists because they must be truly competitive with men. A working woman also suffers from the fact that her work/career reliability can be questioned because she always has the wife/mother option, which she may choose over work at any time, if a man asks for her hand in marriage.

   Still, women’s efforts in the workplace are useful, and some of them can be surprising achievers as good as the best men and even uniquely so. The sacrifice is family life, motherhood, and children. But that’s the point–lower population growth and better lifestyle. A working woman can adequately juggle one or two children and a career, but she can’t handle eight or nine children and a career; she only has 24 hours in a day. And not every woman wants to be a wife and mother, at least not until she’s running out of time at age thirty-something. Having proven working skills and the right to use them are a great safety net if husband/father has problems at some point.

   @James: A lot of women think that they should compete with men. Many are always miserable because they just can’t seem to get ahead of men. I think the feminist movement further aided the misery of women.

   @Haider: I could have said torso or chest as well, or simply breasts. I know what I could have said.

   @Mohammad: I do see a woman in a business suit as a little off-putting, because she is mimicking a man. Regardless of how well-cut and neat and sharp her suit is, she is stating by it that she is not the ally of a man, but a competitor. The fact is that she will take a job from a man if she can, thereby diminishing him. This undermines femininity, AND masculinity. I see women’s lib as a natural reaction to the problem of overpopulation, and in the big picture, until earth’s human population growth diminishes to a sustainable level, a good thing, even if many men, including myself, don’t particularly like it.

    Yusha: during the performance of Haj, women are required to keep their faces uncovered (Arab women wear the abaya, while women from other countries mostly wear clothing which is modest-most Pakistani women wear the shalwar-kameez with head covered by a long dopatta draped over the body). But certain Pakistani mullahs advise women to wear a head cover with an extension which falls in front of the face, so that the woman’s face cannot be seen.
