Awhile back, I had a discussion with a woman I know who is converting/converted to Islam...her man is Muslim (a convert). We discussed the Burqa , and she said that she might wear one, except without the head covering, but she may wear a scarf. She said that a Burqa or basically any covering is to hide a female's body so that you as a man are not turned on or focusing on a woman's body. it is to maintain a shapeless form. I told her, that any type of covering that she wears you can see her curves, so a damn burqa ain't gonna help with not noticing her "attributes". And this can be said for some women who wear them. But, I've notice that many who wear them are frumpy looking...and it almost becomes an excuse for said women to let themselves go, after all, no man is gonna be looking at your body, correct?
Also, why the Hell do you have all these Arab bbers posing shirtless or in their thongs (all not on stage, or even on stage), but women can't? That's ass backwards...
