I know this may come as shock to some people, but cultural norms surrounding the modesty of women aren't just a patriarchical conspiracy to oppress women. They are a solution to this race to the bottom problem among women competing for mates. In the same way we have a cultural norm against stabbing people so the people who are best at stabbing don't kill all the other men, a culture of modesty prevents harlotry from being an effective strategy among women.
- rightbyte 3y agoI agree about what seems like a refusal to address concerns about the most fundamental social problems of civilizations. However, the fundamental problem to other women is that they don't charge enough, not that they charge.

- mbivert 3y agoThere's a middle ground between encouraging women to sexualize themselves, and forcing them to wear a burka. Furthermore, veils & cie are but a superficial implementation of the parent's idea, which is to encourage humility (it goes without saying that we should encourage men to behave accordingly at well). I've saw so many young Muslims women wearing hijabs, with little to no such humility. The most amusing ones wear at once a hijab, heavy make-up and skin-tight clothes.
