I want to be veiled in chador (iranian garments)
You know the clothes that women wear in Middle Eastern countries that only show their eyes?
Iran is the most intensive of them all. Their most conservative Chador available don't even SHOW the eyes, there is a black slit that is loosely hanging over their face, so all you see is black, and not any aspects of her features, but she can see you.
I want to wear that.
#1) I CAN NOT AFFORD DECENT LOOKING CLOTHES. Keeping up with trends is bullshit. In the time it takes to open up a magazine, ooh and ahh over what's hot, get your hands on money to buy it, and put it on, a new magazine comes out and completely insults your new style.
#2) Men keep watch on your body constantly. While my male co workers will go up to their "guy friends" and high five and talk about work, life, friends, etc. The first thing they do when they see me is compliment how great my ass looks in my work pants, and talk about how they want to be my "man". I'm sick of it!! If I was in chador, you would be forced to get to know me as a person, NOT an object!!
#3) The "surprise" factor. When I take off my veil and I look beautiful its completely different then looking beautiful and half naked all the time, like what sluts like to do nowadays. It makes me nauseous.
Its an air of mystery.
#4) When you cover up with a blanket, you feel secure, no doubt. Thats basically what chador is, one big comfy blanket.
#5) Because the hair, body, and sometimes face is covered, you don't have to go to great lengths to pretty yourself up when you walk out the door. Women are expected to look like models when they go to the grocery store, gym, etc, where as men can roll out of bed, comb their hair, spritz on cologne and go. I dump about $1000 on beauty products in a year, between tanning, hair styling, and makeup, which will damage hair, and age your face and skin. With chador, you only need makeup when you show your face, you only need to tan when going to the beach, and you only need to do your hair when absolutely necessary.
#6) Yes I am self-conscious about my body. I will never be perfect. Ill either be too fat, too thin, too pimply, too pale, too tan, too muscular... etc, with Chador, its no matter, they'll never know if you put on 5 lbs after christmas.
#7) Men will actually have to make an EFFORT to get to know you. Women won't be as shallow, they will have to actually form PERSONALITIES instead of money to buy fake breasts. You'd have to be a more wholesome person.
#8) It just looks badass
Men won't be able to judge you based on your body, and women won't judge you based on the clothes you wear. Its amazing! Pure genius! I would love it! Im thinking about moving to the middle east just for the physical freedom!
Ladies, do you agree?
