Why American girls do not wear Burkha? If modest so important?

Question

Excuse please my English. You say all girls whores and prostitutes if dress nice. So why not wear the Burkha?

Answer 1

Good question! Haha.
I honestly don't think it all is based on what the girl in America wears. Girls can be cruel here, and calls are girls bitches, whores and sluts, whether or not their boobs are hanging out or they look demure and classy. Sometimes it's a jealousy issue, there is a hate issue, sometimes it is because the girl does look like she is on her way to work the corner. I honestly think the Burkha wouldn't solve the name calling.

Answer 2

Nono.. translation. When American women say other women look like whores, 90% of time, it means, "I wish I looked like that", 5% of the time, they are just drunk and making a scene. Only the remaining 5% may actually look like whores. I doubt most American women are that concerned with modesty- at least that I can tell. The aim is to reveal as much as possible without passing the border into prostitute. A little slutty is normally applauded here.
Another reason may be that no American girls actually know what a burka is. (I had to google it)

Answer 3

I don't think that the modesty that you seem to be referring is important in American culture. However, as an American woman, I wish it were. Yesterday, for example, I was in a restaurant with my husband and his family. At a nearby table was a girl and her mother. The girl, who looked to be about 12, was wearing tiny shorts that barely covered anything. On the seat of the shorts, the word cheerleader. While I do not think much of my rearend, I also don't want people to stare at it. For that matter, I do not want people's attention to be drawn to my 12-year-old daughter's rear end. The girl was also wearing a tank top.

At my church, I see teenaged girls wearing short skrits and low cut shirts They may not be aware of how much one can see if they look down. One who is taller, or on a different stair level, etc. Yikes.

What do you mean by "dress nice"?

I try to wear my clothing fitted, but covering. I try and keep my skirts, dresses and shorts at knee length. At six feet tall, I'm taller than most women, so it's not always easy. I keep my shirts fitted, but not too tight. (Well, with the change in my body with my pregnancy, some shirts are a bit too tight. Yet, I have not seen the justification of buying new ones yet.) I do have a skirt that still fits, but falls three or four inches above my knees. I liked the length when I got it five years ago, but now that my views and faith has changed, it's too short. However, it fits so I'm going to stick with it. I also have a pair of shorts that are a bit too short, they barely cover. Yet, they, too, fit and I will make do.

Even with some clothing in stores that are meant for adult women, I think are too revealing. That's one of the reasons I've avoided shopping for pregnancy clothes. That and I've never liked clothes shopping.

Unfortunately, I think in America, the value is more placed on a woman's external "beauty", rather than what her true beauty is on the inside.

we dont wear the burkha because it makes us feel like every other girl in the room. We each like to be our own individual, but if you would like to wear one, then you are free to do so because its a free country. That does seem like a good idea, though.
