Why does what a woman wear cause so much ruckus everywhere?
Take Pakis living abroad for example, the first thing people cry about is that they’re dressed in jeans and losing their culture…or girls in pak dn’t wear underwear supposedly… people are upset that someone wears an expensive lengha on her wedding…and let’s not even get started on the 101 complaints about grlz who wear hijabs and the millions of wrong things they do while wearing it (sarcasm alert).
You never hear this many complaints or masla over what a guy wears…if a guy wears jeans he’s not being besharam or losing his culture…the price tag of a guy’s outfit is never under as much scrutiny as the bride’s jora may be..
What a guy wears and what he looks like is never an indication of his moral character, however, the same cannot be said for a woman… simply judging by the clothes she wears people consciously or unconsciously judge that she is a good girl or a bad girl. Is that really be fair?
Another thing I see with desis, they always talk about the religious values of the wives if she reads namaz or Qur’an but hardly the men are questioned. Like this relative was visiting us the other day, she mentioned to my husband that not only do I read Zuhr real quickly, but I also that don’t cover my head which was extremely disappointing to her it seems. Maybe she meant well, I can’t say.
Luckily my hubby gave her a hearty answer after which she may still be having indigestion.
Regarding clothing, well we women do have sooooooooooo many choices, but the guys don’t have that many colors or material or styles to choose from. At least not nearly as many as we have. And we are too busy with our wardrobe to worry about theirs…
I’m not sure exactly what you mean by that Q?
I do realize that this exists in western culture as well…however I would appreciate it if we could stick to the desi culture for now. I dont’ want to get into another “gora are better/worse than desis” thing please…
How much money can men really spend on their suits? $500? $700? $1,000? That's not much compared to what women spend on their wedding dress, make up, jewelry, and what not. Besides, women notice what other women are wearing or how much they spent on themselves. You don't hear men talking about a girl's dress and how much she spent. So as I see it, it's women causing a ruckus about what other women are wearing :p

As i know, it was 3 females who opened up separate topics that have to deal with wmen's clothing. so yeah i never said that it was only men who complain. Also, i'm not saynig that i am not guilty of it...but i am just curious why this subject is such a big deal.. after all ,you always hear ppl saying fashion is silly and frivolous... yet if u c ..its not so silly and pointless now is it? :D
She meant generally, wear a hijab.
