Thats what I was trying to explore, why it's ok in some areas not in others. But obviously too much for this forum.

Re: Why Don't Feminists Fight for Muslim Women?

Actually you are once more mistaken .
Make up is NOT frowned upon even in most opressive countries .
If the face if covered no one cares what women wear on their faces .
Even the hijab hair covering is so unflatterering to almost everyone that plenty of make up is used to counteract it.

The outlawed nail varnish but both men and women wear heavy eye makeup .
The men somewhat more than the women .
Of course their dancing boys can use as much as thy like .

The Taliban made it an offence for women to wear make-up.
Punishable, in some extreme circumstances by death, if caught.

It being hidden had nothing to do with it.
Gender apartheid was rife and the eradication of women's cultural presence.

They do cover their hair but that's all.
I'll always remember when I was working in Saudi Arabia and I was obliged to do an X-ray examination on a screaming baby. I invited the mother into the room to help with the baby and, of course, the father came too.

Before entering, the mother was dressed as a black dalek, as is the norm, but once in the room she removed her 'face mask' to reveal one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.

What a waste!
