You're awesome,
lifesaver...you said exactly what I was going to say so that I don't have to type a big long post now.
There's a lot of this argument I don't buy. For example, I don't wear miniskirts up to my arse because the media says I have to; I wear them because I
like doing so. If I don't feel like wearing revealing clothing one day, I won't. Like
valkyrie said, it's that simple. I can't speak for all women, but I personally don't feel like society views me as an 'object,' so a religion that requires sexuality off-limits wouldn't do anything for me. I don't think I'd like it too much, actually. I get the impression that this thread is trying to turn into a Christian vs. Islam debate. (That was basically the original question, right?) Since I'm neither Christian nor Muslim I'm not going to add anything for either side, but I'll just say...the OP's got nerve for starting this debate so early in the morning... *yawn*
