As long as both groups of people are following their choice then it’s all good.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 77 points 1 year ago

But Islam often doesn't let women think on their own, their husbands or fathers are to think and choose for them. That isn't always the case, but often is.

You're free to wear whatever you want, but you will get murdered by your family if you don't wear what they tell you to wear.

[-] zikk_transport2@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

You are reffering to "freedom of choice". It's a good thing. <3

[-] traveler01@lemdro.id 5 points 1 year ago

Other women could be wearing whatever they wanted to, the others even if not forced, are taught since small girls to dress like that.

[-] dnick@lemmy.world 76 points 1 year ago

[-] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago

forget cultural differences, and imagine yourself out there on a 35c day, and tell me which one is better.

[-] deranger@lemmy.world 108 points 1 year ago

Flowing robes 100%, literally designed for being in the heat and sun. 35C isn’t even that bad, it’s hotter in Texas.

[-] Dee@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

I was going to say, I'm pro-bikini but used to live in Texas and wore longer sleeves to keep the sun off my skin because it kept me cooler doing that than if I wore a short sleeve shirt.

but Arab clothing is literally designed for the Sahara desert

[-] kluevo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Sahara desert

I assume you meant Arabian desert?

[-] nxfsi@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Whoops, though North African clothing is very similar and those are definitely designed for the Sahara.

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's actually all one big desert. The Arabian Desert is just the Sahara Desert extended over Arabia (and neighboring lands).

[-] Kwizi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Sun tan lotion doesn't cut it for me, and I can go from white to red in a matter of minutes. So yeah, loose flowing clothes seem nice (not a fan of burqas esthetically but I never tried one so maybe they're comfy?)

Well, this should be an interesting comments section.

[-] zer0@thelemmy.club 48 points 1 year ago

If you think these people are stupid remember that there's people wearing suits and ties in summer

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

That's even more stupid.

Source: it's me. I'm the stupid.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

If you think these people are stupid, wait 20 years and see who has more skin cancer.

Covid seemed to change workplace attire in my company forever. I used to wear a coat and tie to meetings and events.... I'm now wearing a polo shirt and stretchy chinos with "dress shoes" that are basically sneakers.

[-] lazyslacker@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've often thought that we can squarely blame Western Europe for the proliferation of suits being the normal business wear. It makes sense for them because have you visited the UK in summer? Or northern the northern half of the continent? It's downright cold sometimes. In the middle of summer. It makes sense for them to wear all that crap all the time. I do wish we weren't influenced so heavily by that to the point that we don't have any real alternatives when it comes to formal and business attire.

[-] zer0@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

But what about the tie? I personally believe that one is to blame on fat rich people who used to hide their bellies

[-] GiddyGap@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

Peak cultural differences

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 year ago

We live in a society

[-] WidowsFavoriteSon@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

[-] LetKCater2U@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 73 points 1 year ago

The hijabs are working as intended lol

[-] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That’s not how hijabs work.

[-] DarkGamer@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

Well I know which style I prefer XD

How could South Africa have been an apartheid state when my chef, my maid, and my cab driver were all black?
