As long as both groups of people are following their choice then it’s all good.
But Islam often doesn’t let women think on their own, their husbands or fathers are to think and choose for them. That isn’t always the case, but often is.
You’re free to wear whatever you want, but you will get murdered by your family if you don’t wear what they tell you to wear.

That truly is an opinion you’ve shared there
The photo supports my argument
That’s an incredibly bad take, wow. Is every woman in the middle east who wears a hijab is secretly obese, even when starving to death because of war?

You are reffering to “freedom of choice”. It’s a good thing. <3
Other women could be wearing whatever they wanted to, the others even if not forced, are taught since small girls to dress like that.
Lots of ankles in that picture…
you saw anklebone ??
i mean i can, but its gonna hurt

How much of a contrarian do you have to be to defend the Taliban?
That wasn’t defending the Taliban, it was pointing out an islamophobic stereotype so dumb that even the evil Taliban weren’t doing it.
Well, this should be an interesting comments section.
forget cultural differences, and imagine yourself out there on a 35c day, and tell me which one is better.
Flowing robes 100%, literally designed for being in the heat and sun. 35C isn’t even that bad, it’s hotter in Texas.
I was going to say, I’m pro-bikini but used to live in Texas and wore longer sleeves to keep the sun off my skin because it kept me cooler doing that than if I wore a short sleeve shirt.
sigh Truth.

but Arab clothing is literally designed for the Sahara desert
Sahara desert
I assume you meant Arabian desert?
Whoops, though North African clothing is very similar and those are definitely designed for the Sahara.
Bro it is sand nobody is gonna fault you
It’s actually all one big desert. The Arabian Desert is just the Sahara Desert extended over Arabia (and neighboring lands).
My understanding is that the fabric on burqas (or whatever those clothes are actually called) are extremely lightweight and provide shade, so they actually aren’t any warmer than t-shirts and shorts. Possibly because they block the sun, they might even be cooler.
But that’s simply what I have heard and I personally don’t care to find out either way.
Btw, why aren’t they white? Reflects more sun.
Wild guesses…
Easier to clean.
Or maybe the material it’s made of, isnt white.
Or maybe because it has such little thermal mass, that it doesn’t matter.
Or because they liked the colours for aesthetic reasons haha.
Also choosing a cloth colour has nothing to do with thermal mass and everything to do with absorbtivity/emissivity/reflectivity aka material properties affecting radiative heat transfer.
In any case, shirt colour has a small effect on temperature, maybe a 5°C (at most) difference between white and black, according to some studies. So unless you’re really chasing the most optimal clothing, it’s best to just wear what makes you happy.
5°C is huge!
Loose fitting black robes = somehow cooler due to convection schmonvection
because they picked black that day
I never tested it, but still wonder why nobody who wasn’t indoctrinated into it since birth doesn’t just decide to wear a burka in summer heat.
Not only did you not test it, you didn’t even bother looking it up, because you don’t actually care, you’re just here to express islamophobia.
Here, have the result of a 5 second search:

I wonder how saying that Muslims are being exploited counts as islamophobia.
The image above is a great example of the Virgin/Whore social complex. In each case, the woman is held to the demands of men. Women in robes are expected to appear perfectly chaste and insulated from the ravenous male gaze while women in bikinis are expected to be on display for the entertainment of those same men.
The shifting social expectations of a male-dominated social hierarchy decide which set of apparel is rewarded and which is shunned. In neither scenario is the woman genuinely considered free. She is simply subjected to a new set of burdensome social standards.
Sun tan lotion doesn’t cut it for me, and I can go from white to red in a matter of minutes. So yeah, loose flowing clothes seem nice (not a fan of burqas esthetically but I never tried one so maybe they’re comfy?)
Depends on what you want; brown skin or staying cool?
If you think these people are stupid remember that there’s people wearing suits and ties in summer
That’s even more stupid.
Source: it’s me. I’m the stupid.
Hello me, it is me, you
If you think these people are stupid, wait 20 years and see who has more skin cancer.

Covid seemed to change workplace attire in my company forever. I used to wear a coat and tie to meetings and events… I’m now wearing a polo shirt and stretchy chinos with “dress shoes” that are basically sneakers.
I’ve been looking for basically-sneakers-dress-shoes for a hot minute. Haven’t found any I liked. Any recs?
I’ve often thought that we can squarely blame Western Europe for the proliferation of suits being the normal business wear. It makes sense for them because have you visited the UK in summer? Or northern the northern half of the continent? It’s downright cold sometimes. In the middle of summer. It makes sense for them to wear all that crap all the time. I do wish we weren’t influenced so heavily by that to the point that we don’t have any real alternatives when it comes to formal and business attire.
But what about the tie? I personally believe that one is to blame on fat rich people who used to hide their bellies
Peak cultural differences
We live in a society
Girls 'miring
jfc live and let live. Its not that hard.

How could South Africa have been an apartheid state when my chef, my maid, and my cab driver were all black?

That’s assuming a lot just on appearances. The women on the right may value their culture but support policies that strengthen the community or help lifting families from poverty. While the women on the left could be rich tourists that support lack of government oversight in industry and providing tax havens for the rich.
