Week Three Post
This article comments on the two extremes faced by women in the world today; being entirely covered or having absolutely no privacy in regard to their bodies. One assumes to be more liberated than the other because of the western environment they find themselves in that seemingly stands for democracy. Depending on your life spectre it is subjective to be able to reach a decision on the position you would feel most comfortable being placed in. I believe that both in their different but similar ways still oppress women, in the sense that the women are still judged on what they wear; most of which is largely determined by society.
As a Christian I have recently realized that in exposing your body you are not only disgracing yourself by exposing what is not yours to show off, but are disgracing men as you are helping them potentially commit adultery in lustful thoughts. Therefore, no matter the persecution on what women wear I believe it to be better to be covered up than overly exposed.
