I am mine: a history of hijab and miniskirt
The newspapers have this week two girls have been punished in Spain by their dress. One of them has been evicted from a procession in Granada for wearing a miniskirt that older brothers considered too short. Perhaps the argument seems outdated as soon, characteristic of people living in a world where virginity is still paid and to protect youth from the temptations of the flesh.
The second has been expelled from a test at his school for wearing hijab. The school management says that this outfit can hide an electronic device to copy (a chop, we). Y, course, always with the theme of liberation of women hanging around (that if the girl is Spanish, if your parents have not forced…)
No matter how colorful and folkloric explanations are, news both rely on the same basis: our female bodies (and, therefore, Offensive) not our: belong to the set, the environment. And the environment is responsible for what we do with them, even more than ourselves.
At the time of the environment forced fussiness of modesty; at the time of the release, environment requires the uncovering. No more. Our freedom is limited to be what others want us to be. Anything, ourselves less.
Nobody ever said was a quality of personalityFemale.

What you want? What is allowed to go to the kids as they please in the institutes? It is rude enough to home that they do not stop your feet on the streets, then freaks out as maquineros canis or junkies of Street. It seems to me that the institutions have done very well to maintain order and how the study center. When you go to the streets to do what they want, but at school is to learn, not shine.

I see no incompatibility between wearing a headscarf (or minifalda) and learn, comply with an order. I think the debate is not going out there…
