Playboy models wearing a jihab?

[marylander1940]

This isn’t the Playboy feature you remember.

 

Op note: is not as bad as it looks, nothing but an interview yet some folks out there are pretty sensitive and might get insulted by this. I've already seen some pornstars wearing jihab...

 

In its heyday, Playboy magazine didn’t usually stray far from scantily clad women. Last year, however, the magazine switched gears and no longer publishes nude photographs. While that was shocking enough, Playboy‘s latest issue — under the heading “The Renegades” — has readers even more surprised.

Psst...the word is a hijab, not a jihab.

 

I don't see what makes "yuck" an appropriate initial response rather than a close-minded and ignorant one.

 

I live next door to a woman who wears a niqab and abaya even in hot weather. I wear tank tops and shorts in similar weather. Her attire is none of my business, just as my attire is none of her business.

Far from being closed minded and ignorant I see this expression of clothing for women as oppressive and an expression of antiquated religiosity. It boggles my mind that the requirement doesn't seem to apply to men of the same persuasion. While it may seem quaint and cultural in the Mideast it has very little practical application to American culture and society except perhaps for mosque dress up. I suppose we could return to powdered wigs, stovepipe hats and corsets for women but it would be pointless in an evolving western society not stuck in the seventh century A.D..

I understand the argument that covering up is pandering to male repression. But if a woman prefers it for her own reasons, as is the case with the one the OP wrote about and to whom you were presumably responding, who are you (or anyone else) to disapprove?

[MsGuy]

So if women show some skin, they're pandering to men's desire to oogle them and if they cover up, they're bowing to an oppressive patriarchy.

 

Did I get that right or am I missing something?

[Kippy]

You didn't miss a thing-- it's this logic that has kept people in the closet for decades-- "...but who are we to disapprove?" We make discerning choices all the time. Sometimes they better us individually, sometimes they better us collectively but oppression should be called out even when it is mistakenly embraced.

I call the first 3 bee keeper outfits. Some dark. Some colorful. All represent the same thing. Repression .

Brainwashing or just a repressive husband not too far in the background.

And they also cause an obsession/trauma with sex... some Republicans have that in common with them, don't they?
