These Westerners would want to strip the Muslim woman of her clothes she deems modest, because they believe her 'oppressed' even when the woman says it's her choice. So, where is that western ideal then of "do what you will, just don't break any laws"? Where is the freedom of religion, speech, etc?
I agree. People assume that just because they cover their heads that they are oppressed. But it's just a piece of cloth. People will have different reasons for wearing it. The many interpretations of one's choice of clothing is like the many interpretations of Scripture.
Muslim men are accused of 'lusting' after women, as women opressors and such. But, look who is actually lusting after women and who has made women sexual slaves. You have porno industry booming in the West. Every magazine you see in stores has titles such as "his secret sex moves,' 'how to be a b***c,' 'new sex moves,' 'get a sexy body with these moves,' etc. Supermodels are easily starved away because of the 'ideal' body.
The women involved in the sex/porno industry are not slaves. They work in that industry by their own free choice. They could easily change their career and do something else. A slave is locked into a particular trade. These women in theory, could have done anything they wanted. They could have studied science, engineering or medicine at university. They could have been lawyers or politicians. They could have been teachers. But they chose to make money from sex.
Women are changing their bodies with breast, butt and whatever other implants to be more attractive.
There is no compulsion. It's their choice. There aren't that many women involved in the sex industry. It's a small fraction of the population. Most women I know have nothing to do with it.
Men and women start sexual experience very young and usually have many sexual partners in their life time.
Many do. Many don't. Although the idea of a teenage father disgusts me, I realise that they are good for the economy. Some people are career-focused and wait until the age of thirty to start a family. Some want to make babies. Baby-making is good for the economy. It increases the size of the population and provides more potential labourers and workers. That allows a country to compete against others economically.
Look what's happening in Europe. The "native European" (ie. non-African) population is aging. Less and less "native Europeans" are having kids. European governments are now relying on migrants to keep the economy going and to boost the population.
Men won't look at a modestly dressed woman (even the non-Muslim women who choose to wear more modestly) but are looking to find 'sexy' ones.
Trust me when I say this. Even the "modestly dressed" women can be "attractive" and men do look for these women. To say that women have to do something their bodies is to assume that men are shallow (and stupid). I think a lot of men would appreciate it if women didn't try to change so that we'd like them more. We like them the way they are. Be yourself. We will come looking for you.
If you got lost in the forest would you stay in your current location and wait for your parents to find you or would you keep shifting around to make it harder for them to find you?
Women don't have to expose more skin to be more attractive. They don't even have to dress feminine and womanly. They can wear jeans, long pants, long sleeves and trousers and men will still seek them out. A woman's desirability isn't strictly to do with the way she dresses anyway. It could be her personality and intelligence.
In Roman culture, a large forehead made you attractive because it was a sign of intelligence.
I sometimes wonder when I look at a couple. How did they get together? I don't even find the women attractive. It's because a woman's desirability can depend on her temperament, personality and intelligence. I don't want someone who is arrogant, rude, obnoxious and inconsiderate. People get tired of looks. It is more practical to find someone you can tolerate for a lifetime than someone who stops being cute after five minutes.
One night stands (sex) is very common and there is no Western non-Muslim that I know who did not have more than one of those.
You've been talking to the wrong people.
So. Who is trully obsessed with sex? But please. The only purpose you do not want to see a covered woman in the West is because it defies the sex-crazed societies of the West.
If Muslim societies were not sex-crazed, why would people insist that women have to wear hijabs, niqabs and whatever other dresses they have? Why don't you just take off your headdress if it isn't a problem?
Maybe the reason why they don't wear them in Western countries is because it is less of a problem.
It's relative.
