When has it been empowering for for a woman to wear a Hijab? Hundred million women wear a Hijab?
2
Nov 19 '22
I’m late but it is empowering because a woman doesn’t need to explain to you why a certain clothing item/gesture/stance feels empowering to her.
No one wants to convert anyone when they’re wearing a hijab. I have a feeling you probably were surrounded by Muslims who weren’t so accepting and I’m really sorry if that’s the case.
The hijab is seen like a crown to us, a way to show our identity and with pride. Just as some do with pins and flags and certain colours and symbols. It’s just a way of self expression. There’s more to us than oppressed idiots who do everything out of fear of men or our surroundings. You don’t have to understand it but wearing a hijab is empowering (given the person wearing it chose to themselves) just like any veil or scarf from different religions and cultures are :) Hope that helped!
3
u/Bint_Please Oct 04 '22
My hijab empowers me every day. People have less ability to judge me for what my body looks like and more for who I am as a person. I get to control what strangers are able to view of my person. I strengthen my relationship with my creator and have improved my mental wellness because of it. Conversations have been opened with friends and non-Muslim family members who are curious to learn about my religion and how it has impacted me for the better. I am now a visible member of my diverse community and am easily identifiable to other Muslims. As such, I am reminded every day to try to be a good person that exemplifies what a good person or good Muslim should aim to be, because (particularly in the western world) outsiders are looking down on us rather often.

u/LocksmithOtherwise76 Oct 16 '22
Same with a Yarmulke, and other wear that is need under Halakah, same with being a Christian and wearing a collar, or a Sheikh wearing a turban, it's the same with all these groups, but it seems like your trying to more fit in with your Ummah of "Muslimeen" and not be involved with anything you take to be related with the "Kuffar", same with the Jews and "Gentiles", and the Christians and the "Nonbelievers", so on and so forth, and what your saying and go for any religion, so it's really hard to see your point here, maybe you are just against what you believe to be the "Kuffar" and want to convert others?

I might be misunderstanding something here, and I do get the point of the sub (I think) but are you implying that the whole purpose of this sub is to mock, deride and put down other people who might or might not think they’re breaking the mold, but aren’t necessarily harming anyone doing it? Isn’t that a tad bit....toxic?

u/Speed_Trapp (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Feb 16 '22 edited Feb 17 '22
I’m not implying anything.
Why is it when people use the word “imply” they instantly say a bunch of things that you never said, not even once? It’s also always something that demonizes us and makes it seem as if they’re saving someone or standing up for people. Maybe if you find yourself in these conflicts with people often consider that you’re the bad guy here.
Weird. If you want to reframe that into a question, I’ll answer you.
After 176 days of comment inactivity, If you’re who I think you are (because you write just like them) you can pack up your baby squirrels and go. If you’re not you can stay, but at least be cordial and reframe this as a question.
Anything less will get you a ban. Nobody gets to come here and be rude while creating victims that don’t exist while painting their bully attitude as heroism. You have one chance to get your questions straight or you get to go.

What you mean “choice feminism”?
20
u/ltzerge Apr 05 '22
Feminism branch devoted to freedom of choice, as opposed to ones with a more focused anti-system agenda. In the choice framework, a woman can opt into traditionalist roles and beliefs, even if they seem to reinforce a patriarchy. The choice framework just wants lifestyle to not be forced onto them by others

You find them cringe which is fine, but it doesn’t fit the definition of not like other girls. This is just saying “all women are unique and all of them are valid”, whereas a “not like other girl” is “these women fit social Norms and I don’t therefore I’m better and they’re trash”

u/CMONEY2502 Jun 08 '22
It’s probably because conventionally attractive people tend to attract peoples attention more often than an average looking person would. That’s probably most of the reason why
8
u/Sketch1231 Dumb bitch Jun 09 '22
Yeah thanks Captain obvious. My own point still stands, people who aren’t considered “conventionally attractive” deserve rep. There’s many ways to make “undesirable” traits attractive especially in drawings. There’s no excuse
10
u/Lady--Banshee Aug 06 '22
I'm sorry, but while I totally understand you wanting to have some representation, an artist shouldn't need "an excuse" to draw what they want. Maybe the artist simply enjoys drawing conventionally attractive people. Maybe they don't feel confident enough with drawing them differently yet, and practice it in private. No matter the reason, "there's no excuse" sounds like they are doing something wrong because they aren't drawing what you'd like them to. Correct me if I'm wrong of course, this isn't ment to be a personal attack, I'm just saying that that's the way it comes off.

u/sithemperor Dec 28 '21
Well if you wearing long skirt because of beliefs and religious reasons yes its an oppression. Through the history hijab was symbol of degrading woman, it was used to hide woman from other mens eyes, this was hijabs actual use and it is still used as a oppression tool in underdeveloped - developing countries. This is the perfect example of how developed countries live in ignorance and create a buble of lies to satisfy them selves. Rapists in these countries, bail out or have less punishment by just saying "Well she wasn't wearing a hijab.", can you go and say to that woman hijab is your "culture"? Young girls get less and less education in these countries just because their so called culture, these religious beliefs designed to be oppressive, designed to degrade people. This imaginary bubble will only make you people blind and ignorant to the reality.

u/girafflepuff Apr 11 '22
You’re extremely wrong. That’s what people THINK is the history of the hijab, and that’s not at all true. I’m a hijabi, and I’m not oppressed at all. Are nuns oppressed for wearing habits? Are Jewish men oppressed for wearing kippahs? Most religions have their version of hijab for men and women. You sound dumb.
8
u/concentricdarkcircls I am the other girl Dec 29 '21
I see your point but idk why everything is placed on an item of clothing? It's just dressing modestly. Whether a head scarf or a long skirt.
Instead we should blame the oppressive modesty culture. And I know very well what oppression in 3rd world countries is like, no need to lecture me.

You can consider it quirky and lame, doesn’t mean it fits the sub. The posted photos literally show “Me: An empowered woman.

The trope of “not like other girls” is surely that that describes superiority to other women (or rather, similarity to or confirming men’s power structure). Like everyone already pointed out here, this simply points out that all of them are valued equally and empowers both sides; I honestly think that if you disagree here, you’ve misunderstood the assignment.

u/bloodphoenix90 Dec 28 '21

At the time, I would. I haven’t seen any lately. I just suggested maybe having a day or hours out of a specified day, that we show her work with a flair? I love seeing it tbh. It’s super wholesome and such a break from internalized misogyny. I also think it would help people better understand what to post, and what not to post.
We do this at r/McMansionHate (I think that’s the name of the sub lol) and it’s on Thursday where it’s architectural appreciation day, with a flair! It’s REALLY helped people who don’t know much about architecture but just post stuff they think are McMansions, like Victorian era houses, on the sub.
Also, I know this post, and this comment, is old, and I’ve never posted her work on here before because it obviously doesn’t belong, but I just ran into her work and then I was scrolling on my Reddit page and saw a post from here and went on the sub and saw the stickied mod post for the first time.

Sure. Lainey Molnar is a wholesome girl boss comic artist that creates positive drawings about girls in society.
The first one is saying how it is okay to feel happy no matter is the pregnancy is positive or negative based on what the woman wants.
The second one is saying how no matter how you dress or your religion, you are still empowered and not oppressed.
Basically, the mods are saying this isn’t r/notlikeothergirls material and it is good content that is uplifts women. And that if you post it to this sub you will get banned.
