Different context. Nuns wear their costume when they are serving. That's why you don't see nuns in full dress at Walmart. But I see women in full burkas (always with their husband, of course) struggling in everyday situations. If the religion requires it, it's a terribly oppressive one. These women "chose" not to face consequences, so they wear it. That's why there are international protests by women who call to reject these fabric cages. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Daerun@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago No. Majority of women wear it because of sexist opression. They don't have the real choice of not wearing it even if they believe they wear it "because I want to". Also, using nuns is not a valid argument, because it's a uniform and nuns are nuns because they devote their lives, amongst other things, to not have children. Do those women depicted swore chastity and celibacy? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Shou@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) Neither do I care what people wear.

I knew all of the nuns, and I can’t speak on the tradition everywhere, but I never seen them wearing their nun gear. I wouldn’t have even known they were nuns if I wasn’t told. The one I got tight with had a short haircut and wore blue jeans and flannel. I always assumed she worked on a farm somewhere nearby or something until she told me she was a nun.

I'm way out of date because I'm not close to that world anymore, but every once in awhile, you'd see a major player throw something out... Like adidas had a line for a minute that they tried to make a big deal, but I never saw any big brands that you'd recognize in any Islamic shops and I never knew anyone who had even heard that was happening beyond me. Most of the girls I knew stuck to Hijabs which are incredibly simple, it's basically a four cornered sheet of cloth that you wrap around your head real fancy, so the focus was mostly on type of fabric and patterning, not a lot of room to establish higher tiers of hijabs/etc. Branding as a whole kind of goes against the concept of the head coverings too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago I’ve no idea.
