That sounds terrifying, why would you do that? I'd prefer pic related over that

Anyway there's nothing to say that she can't show her face, it's just that some societies take the need for modesty to an extreme level

>>1381937
I always found that cloth way too creepy desu.
I'd prefer seeing that robotic face than this shit.

It is not forbidden to show your face, only requirement is to wear a headscarf upon your head, as in many cultures. It is mandatory in islam though, since it's the word of god.

>>1381923
Robots can't have social class, so it wouldn't be egalitarian,

>>1382097
it started off as a way to protect a woman's hair from lice.
Men didn't wear any scarfs, since they had short hair, and therefore, no need to protect their hair.
Nowadays it's not useful though.

>>1382103
nice conjecture. any proof or source?

>>1382108
I read it in a book quite a while ago, I don't remember the source.

Does anyone know why covering women's hair is such a common thing in archaic cultures? Is it simply because of chastity or is there some other reason?

Is that really it? Just protection against lice? What I've read about it, it most often has something to do with chastity or marriage. Any source for the lice?

>>1382103
>Men didn't wear any scarfs, since they had short hair
A lot of men probably had long hair back then though. At the very least in some cultures the hair length was a non-issue.

>>1381960
You can see that they are holding hands. Also perhaps he can tell by the way she walks, the embroideries and in which way the cloth is frayed or damaged.

I think there the mum always has a tight grip on her children whenever they're out together

In Romania and probably other slavic cultures ( can't speak for them though) it signified the purity of a woman.
Unmarried girls who were supposed to be virgins (although there were many cases when that wasn't the case ) didn't have to cover their hair since they were "pure".

After marriage the would wear a "batic" to cover their shame.

I don't know what the practical reason was at first and how it transferred into cultural norms later.

Perhaps without hair-care products the best way to protect long hair was to cover it?

>>1381960
Her voice dumbass.

>>1382103
Are there any cultures in which both the men and the women traditionally have short hair?

>>1381923
Can qt muslim girls pretend to be boys on the internet? is that halal?

>>1382103
Interesting, I would like to have a source

>>1381923
The Qur'an does not require women to cover themselves, that's mainly an Arab tradition. It's only become semi-religious because of hadith, which IMO are meaningless most of the time.

>>1384777
I should add that this is a very unpopular view among some "Muslim" communities and would call me heretical.

>>1383639
Most of Africa.

>>1381923
Literally nothing in Islam says women can't show their face

>>1384796

Exactlyy no Muslim I ever met considered the hadith to be meaningless and the coverage is in the quran as well.

>>1382097
except for muslims none of these headwears are mandatory. Might as well put in a baseball cap into you flawed comparision.

>>1384796
You're disregarding an article of a religion's mainstream doctrine. That's the very definition of heresy.

>>1382097
only one of those women could be killed for taking it off.

Not all Muslims believe in the burqa. I, for example, think it's a tad overkill. Look at the difference of modesty laws between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Also the covering is to keep them from being sexually objectified and all that comes along with that (often in vain, unfortunately) so with that said I'm pretty sure a creepy ass robot face would satisfy that particular ailment, so it could probably work.

Unfortunately wearing head coverings for extended periods of time actually damages your hair/scalp.
