This is the thread to talk trash, but don't do it stupidly. Just read the question and immediately post first thoughts in your mind.
Then read your thoughts and tell me how you feel about it?
This is a link of a girl who wears hijaab and performs powerful poetry about it: http://www.myspace.com/sofiabaig

If I saw her in a Western country I would think, wow that girl's breaking societal norms and proud of it!
In a non-western country I'd wonder if they wear it all the time.
HIjaabis are really cool people though. This "internalized opresson" crap shows how ignorant people are of Islam. Especially considering most western converts are women :P

When I saw her (assuming this happened in MY community) I would think "Wow, how brave she is declaring her beliefs infront of all these a.s.s.holes too narrowed minded to think of anything but booze and Baptist Christianity. I wonder if she would be willing to talk to me?" In a different community, such as a larger city, "Cool, this city is so diverse! I wonder if she'd talk to me?" But most likely my husband would act like a d.i.c.k and say something ignorant and/or stupid and/or offensive. Then I would jab him in the ribs AGAIN(!!!!!!!!) and think "She'd never share a belief based conversation with the wife of a p.r.i.c.k redneck" And sigh...

They're into their culture and enjoying it. If it's common in that person's culture then I have no problem with it. The kurtchief isn't hurting me in anyway so let a person wear one.

It is an article of clothing.
It has no opinion -- you can neither agree nor disagree with it.

I think she is out of place here. I would never be subservient to a man.

I think, "There is a woman who has internalized and accepted her own oppression. How sad."
