History of female head covering

>>72231612
Probably as a form as sexual control for early human civilizations. I know ancient Roman women were expected to cover their heads when going outside.

In the past everybody wore headwear because there was no shampoo and they were outdoors in the sunshine all of the time.

>>72231654

Yeah I heard it was only the top 1% that was into crazy orgies and other degenerate things

>>72231686

??

East Asian and South/southeast asian didnt cover head.

Infact South/southeast asian were topless lol

>>72231612
On the field, under the sun.Back in the day people didn't have hats so they wanter to cover their heads with something,head scarfs happened.Men wore them too.

Head covers are related with farm work and protection from the sun.

In Europe they became part of fashion and become ornamented,different in color,different in shape.

Pretty much. Also, Rome's timeline was very vast. The early Republican period was very different culturally then the late Empire period. So, just within Rome's lifespan you have many different cultural attitudes about women and sex.

I mean, I'm sure even in the later Republican period women and sex were socially regulated, but perhaps people were not as concerned about it as, say, during the early Republican era.

Read the Satyricon, everybody was a degenerate if they could.

You mean what, 97% of the population? Even then many of the noblewomen wore similar headscarves outdoors (or just carried an umbrella).

>>72231801
That's like saying that porn would give a clear example to future generations about our lives. It's mostly just fantasy.

>>72231824
>many

according to that pic its 1/5 kek

im not saying it doesnt exist, just saying it wasnt as common as in the west

>>72231875
>pretty much everybody in japan wearing a rice hat
>noblewomen cover themselves with either umbrellas or headscarves
>still doesn't think it was almost exactly alike in Japan

>>72231612
>How did religion and culture tie in to this?
spread dumb ideas about modesty to control people

>>72231924
the purposes were completely different thouth

asian hats or covers were for practical purposes

in the west it was a sexual thing, a sign of modesty or something

>>72231971
No, they weren't. Only Muslim countries started wearing it as some sort of a cultural thing where as the rest simply decorated their sun protection...

I mean it was a religious thing in Europe until like a hundred or so years ago.

after it got secular people stopped doing it and europeans started associating it with islam. And then the muslims used it as a form of islamic nationalism and muslim nations that didnt wear hijabs began wearing hijabs.

look at old photos of immigrants from Europe

You do realize all orthdox Jewish women even today cover their hair...

>>72232102
Nowhere where it is cold, because that's the purpose of a scarf. But in the heat these days?

In European society it was to cover and protect the hair, like a hair net.

You don't want hair falling in the butter you're churning etc.

Having your hair free it can break, get damaged from the sun, and become frizzy.

People didn't get as many nutrients back then so i imagine having your hair fall out everywhere was a worse thing than today when it just fills up my vacuum cleaner.

So it was mostly to cover and protect the hair.

>>72232056
house wives still wear that when cooking.

its to stop hair from getting into food

>>72232149
This.

>>72232149

Christian nuns cover their head and there are bible verses telling women to cover their head so are you sure it want religious? for some women atleast

>>72232209
It's used in many religious ceremonies by women even today.

You can imagine that them being viewed like that arose from the use as a sun shield. Women were seen publicly with the scarf because they used it to shield themselves from the sun. They only let it down indoors with their close family.

One author of medieval clothing writes of headscarves being worn constantly by married women in Europe before 1500s, but the reliability of it is uncertain.

Although not in Lutheran countries.

Yes for some it is religious, as it is today. It's a sign of modesty to cover the hair. Of course not every society needs to be restrictive and overwhelming religious, like you could have the value of modesty and cover the hair when working etc but show it off sometimes unlike in strict religion. Most religious tradition has a practical origin and this is it.

does anyone know why muslims wear hijabs?

Is it just Arabian cultural imperialism?

The quran doesnt even mention women to wear hijab

>>72232025
I still see it in this country with older women from time to time

>>72231612

>I.40. If the wives of a man, or the daughters of a man go out into the street, their heads are to be veiled. The prostitute is not to be veiled. Maidservants are not to veil themselves. Veiled harlots and maidservants shall have their garments seized and 50 blows inflicted on them and bitumen poured on their heads.

There is very long history of the veil representing honourable women:

I think some of it was religious modesty, but most of it was being in the heat. People didn't have air conditioning in these old photos. Even today you see people covered in loose fitting cotton clothing when they're working out in the heat.

Firstly the religion of peace site is mistranslated exageraterd bullshit site that creates propaganda against Islam so its not the best source.

And to answer your question, hijab is a islamic thing but its ok if you don't wear just dress modestly lose clothes arms and legs covered etc. The full black cover is an arabian tradition

It was a shmeful display here until the XXth century.

>>72231828
>It's mostly just fantasy.

Then read Martial or other writers censoring/mocking the degeneracy.

>>72232025
Usually in winter. Because it's cold here, unlike in Nigland

>>72232380
Come to Egypt or Middle East and try walking in sun without covering your head for 8 hours, you'll understand why then.

>>72231612
It is an indo-aryan tradition, it was brought to the middle east by the invading aryan tribes.

Prior to this, one practiced in earliest civilizations things like temple prostitution, female mate selection and female dominance. Patriarchy is an aryan invention and aryan peoples should reclaim it from the middle easterners.

http://www.suppressedhistories.net/articles/veil.html article on the subject by feminist scholar (probably jewish), she of course finds it a negative, but it's pretty good at explaining the indo-aryan origin of the veil.

The burqa is actually a traditional Arabian garment and it makes sense in the desert climate. Wearing them in Europe however is just a form of cultural nationalism with no practical purpose.

>>72234700
Also contrary to popular belief, burqas are not mandated wear in Saudi Arabia. Women in the humid Hejaz often wear lighter outfits.

Girls under 12 are not required to wear a head covering either, and dress standards are also somewhat relaxed for older women.
