Every time I go window shopping for headscarves, my eyes wander to the colorful ones, I can't help it. I know I need more neutral colors, and I really want a black one, but every time i see a pink one I like...
I already have pink, at least if I redirected this energy to purple, I don't have a purple headscarf yet even though that's my favorite color.
Good thing I haven't seen any patterned ones I like.

No offence, but if you are not a hijabi but you still wrap or wear a headscarf for any other reason, whether it be religious, spiritual, sensory, or mental health related -- you need to support the protesters in Iran. Especially if you live in America or another democratic country where you have the choice to wrap or cover part time or full time. You need to support your headcovering kin. They don't have the capacity to share with others what is happening to them due to Internet suppression and media control. But you can be their voices. Don't let your sisters down.

Iran charges two actresses for not wearing headscarves
Earlier this month police said they would begin using "smart" technology in public places to crack down on women defying Iran's compulsory dress code.
Tumblr media
TEHRAN: Iran has charged two prominent actresses for publishing pictures of themselves flouting the country's dress code for women, just weeks after announcing a crackdown on breaches, local media reported.
Police in Tehran have referred the case against Katayoun Riahi and Pantea Bahram to Iran's judiciary, accusing them of "the crime of removing the hijab in public and posting photos on the internet", the Tasnim news agency said late Monday.
If prosecuted, the pair could face fines or prison terms.
Earlier this month police said they would begin using "smart" technology in public places to crack down on women defying Iran's compulsory dress code.
Last week, photos of Bahram, 53, went viral after she posed without a headscarf at a film screening, while Riahi, 61, posted several photos taken in public places around Tehran in which she did not wear a headscarf.
The requirement for women to wear the headscarf in public was imposed shortly after the Islamic revolution of 1979.
The number of women in Iran defying the dress code has increased since a wave of protests following the September 16 death in custody of Kurdish-Iranian Mahsa Amini, 22, for allegedly breaching it.
On April 16, authorities said they had closed 150 commercial establishments whose employees were not complying with the dress code.
Bahram and Riahi have won several awards at Iran's leading cinema event, the Fajr International Film Festival.
In November, Riahi was released on bail after more than a week's detention for posting photos to Instagram in solidarity with the Amini protests, showing herself without a headscarf.
She was the first Iranian actress to post such images on social media in support of the protest movement.

I'm in the longest rut of my life. Got my degree, a new job and i became a K-pop stan, so my brain couldn't keep up, and reading went down my priorities list.
One thing about me is that even if i was in a reading rut, i still find joy in browsing bookshops and buying books, knowing full well that I'm probably not going to read them. They just sit there pretty looking waiting for me to pick them up. One of them was this one. It was short and easy to read but it took a while to go through. 238 pages in 4 months.

Mona is the second of my tbr Arab Muslim writers, after Nawal Saadawi, and i'm on the look out for more.
Women's rights is a serious issue in the MENA countries. Patriarchal values are heavily implemented and internalised in both genders, and religious zeal does not help at all.
I feel like this kind of books is a great discussion starter. A safer way than social media where outrage is usually the first reaction to any idea about social issues.
Mona speaks a lot about discussion and speech in this book, which is evident since change comes from discussions and debates. In MENA social context, however, it's extremely hard to strike up a conversation about feminism and patriarchy. Islam and patriarchy are intertwined, the latter uses the former in its favor for anchoring its values in people's psyche.
And so, if a banal patriarchal idea gets criticized, it would be considered blasphemy. I remember expressing a slight reticence to a friend's perception of menstrual blood as filth. She replied with an aggressive tone: "In religion, there is no such thing as cool or uncool". I don't think she's ever verified where she gets her religious beliefs from. Holy scripts have been interpreted in a lot of ways since their conception and this complexity of interpretation gives people confidence in their religious views without actually reconsidering their actual value and meaning.
This zeal also comes from fear. My friend here thinks that questioning rules means questioning faith, which is not true. We don't mean questioning God, his Prophet (saws), or the Quran here, but questioning men.
How did i get here? I haven't intended to talk about religion. It's a complex subject and a personal one. But it is an integral part of how MENA societies deal with women and women's rights and how it is extremely hard to discuss them with zealous people who think that defending women leads to defying God.
In this book, Mona doesn't talk about her faith. She rather describes her relationship with the hijab, feminism, sexuality, the men around her, the women around her, and how society uses religion against her and against Arab women, in general.
She gives some statistics about SA, child marriages, FGM (female genital mutilation), and domestic violence. She talks about the double standards, the brutality, and the discrimination women face in the Arab world. All in the name of religion.
Some reviewers say it's 'shocking'. It wasn't to me. it's probably because I'm more familiar with the matter, but nothing she related was news to me. I feel like all women have experienced some kind of discrimination, in various forms, either at home or outside.
It is 'brave', for sure. Not a lot of women talk freely about their issues, in fear of ostracization from society and fear for their lives. That's why i rejoice whenever women's rights issues are brought up in any shape or form. As long as it's talked about.
My favorite parts of the book are when Mona shed some light on the male psyche explaining how these issues came in the first place, but these parts were very few and sparse. I guess the psyche behind misogyny and hatred towards women is the same whether it's east or west. I'll have to look it up. Feminist books are plenty, afterall.

My niqab outfit of the day! I always wear niqab and have a scarf tied over my face everywhere I go. I’m fully veiled, and will always be.
