i see now how fortunate and sheltered we are.
In another part of the world so far far away, feminists of the same religion are asking women to take out their tudungs (or veils) to free themselves. An article in Today today also had another feminist saying that the "virginity before marriage" doctrine should be disregarded.
What is it that they are fighting for, i wonder. The bigger picture is much more scarier than all these and it's about time they stop pinpointing them little bits because it's not helping (the big picture). Stop questioning what you can or cannot do and do what you should. (FYI, Same principle can be applied to life.)
sad i was when i read the article. i do realise that it's pretty much different in Singapore where everything harmonious exist or pretend to exist.
Still, it's a modern world now, and albeit a few people who are indeed 'forced' to wear the veil, it's still a much personal choice. Like picking to watch a particular genre of a movie; or opting to have a bikini wax; or choosing herbalessences instead of pantene. A personal choice.
Apparently the world is so keen on freedom of speech/expression that they have forgotten the freedom to choose.
(i'm scared for us.)
