In the sixties to the seventies, Scandinavia became the hub for porno magazines and movies. Danish and Swedish girls were “openminded” and it was just a question of time to even peel off the skin if the trend not finally had turned. After that experiment of sexual freedom, most girls in Scandinavia had got enough and moved to another extreme, the feminism, followed by some kind of suffragette puritanism. Demand came for laws against sexual harassment. Offensive talking or a gaze can now be against law and a simple touch can be judged as rape. Recommendations came to “make a contract” before going to bed with anybody.

Muslim women are fortunately more free than their poor Western sisters. In Islam, women obtain the power over their own body which they easy protect by a simple clothing, the hijab. Islam declares that no one should be forced to use hijab, it is free to walk without, but the civil society can understand that as an invite, so the women are aware of their choice.  Women dressed in hijab should absolutely be respected, as they signal their beauty is reserved for their chosen one. No need for complicated government laws in that case. Islam demands the men shall look away instead of gazing, whistling or following the girl.

Are Western women as free as they maybe think? What happens when they stand up against the trend? How many women are disposed to pay the price of isolation, bullying, whispering behind the back, just to have an own opinion? Ignorant people believe Islam tie their women with dressing code. Isn´t it that West is forcing women to a dressing code regarding to the fashion, sometimes too transparent for the comfort of many women. And that turns them to victims in the street. Some countries invert the feminine to be boring, masculine or even like a thing, in hast improvising gender rules which kills the natural tension between men and women.

Here is more about the Muslim way to deal with dress codes and appearance.
