“Have we ever asked if a woman in pardah (draping) feels comfortable? What if she loves her culture? We just decided on our own that it's inconvenient so that we could pin it on patriarchy. May be it's for her good so that she could be safe from evil prying eyes.”
Sounded meaningless?
Well, it won't now. Just replace pardah with a veil over entire body, strangulating the entire freedom with wholesome swathe.
“Have we ever asked if a woman in entire body-veil feels comfortable? What if she loves her culture? We just decided on our own that it's inconvenient so that we could pin it on patriarchy. May be it's for her good so that she could be safe from evil prying eyes.”
Why did the veil feel okay second time?
Because the veil of pseudo-intellectualism clouded our judgement.
What's the most underrated trait a person can have?
Being a lesser hypocrite.
“If she says she isn't uncomfortable in a suffocating cover, then that doesn't mean she isn't uncomfortable, it just simply means, she doesn't know that she is uncomfortable.”
PS : Not even a single ancient Indian scripture submits to the pardah practice. It mainly started against foreign invasions. But sadly continues till date.
didn't knew that! it's good to know though.
