I think these woman are being fooled if they think a hijab makes them look more modest. If this post on the subject from another blog can be believed, it is a religious statement.

and i can say since i have worn it, no man talks to me with disrespect and tehy dont approach me unless they ahve a good reason, so they dont coem chat me up or wolf whistle as they used to. so i get respect, and there is now barrier between us. it also protection from sexual harrasment and i havnt experinced any of that since i wore my hijab. before that i used to at work but now nothing. it works, it protects me, and it brings me closer to allah, also a constent remidner of who i am, a muslimah, and a remeinder of allah, so in way a form of worship to allah the almighty.

And in the meantime, your 12 year old sister has been taken away and will marry a 50 year old “master”. She will be beaten periodically to keep her respectful.

She is a beautiful young woman, and on a certain level, I can understand why she wants to avoid men leering at her.

It’s a sad state of affairs when some women feel the need to wear this type of clothing to avoid unwanted advances. There was a time when gentlemen protected women from such things.

I just wish her attire didn’t come with all of the baggage, so to speak; she is basically subjugating herself to the men in her life.

Oh Lord, I sound so old. LOL.
